[Talking about the royal family] 'Cause they got in at '52, and then immediately the Queen introduced the new then in the '60s, the Queen decided to change the way that and she encouraged people to and in the '70s she completely redistributed and realised she had too much wealth, so she decided to then in the '80s, they set up a charity to do and then they encouraged other people to and in the '90s, they just totally relaxed, and they said, "Everyone, why don't you " And then in the 2000s, they've set a great example by stop me at any point. I think she's got 20 years left. She's in there, but she essentially does what she does on the stamps.

Western liberalism has a tendency to change the subject when confronted with the true nature of regimes opposed by the US, even to give them the benefit of the doubt: look at Noam Chomsky's effective support for the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. It is a form of intellectual decadence that won't look good on the historical record.

Chinese medicine, oh, Chinese medicine! "But there are billions of Chinese, Chinese medicine must be working." Here's the skinny on Chinese medicine. A hundred years ago the average life expectancy in China was 30. The life expectancy in China at the moment is 73. And it's not feckin' tiger penis that turned it around for the Chinese.

...the point of public relations slogans like "Support Our Troops" is that they don't mean anything [...] that's the whole point of good propaganda. You want to create a slogan that nobody is going to be against and I suppose everybody will be for, because nobody knows what it means, because it doesn't mean anything. But its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something, do you support our policy? And that's the one you're not allowed to talk about.
