When I was in Soviet Army, the top officer in my regiment was a colonel. He used to say: �I�m you god, tsar and a minister of defense�.

Sound similar?

The colonel�s office and my room with parachutes shared a thin wall in a small building at military airport. I could hear him easily. Usually in the morning the colonel called different officers and yelled and swore at them with or without reason. Just to keep them in fear, control and to show who�s a boss.

One day he called a few officers. He yelled and swore as usual. Suddenly it was a minute or two of silence. I guess, he was sitting, looking at his phone and thinking, if he called everybody he wanted. He couldn�t remember, so he asked himself aloud: �Who I should f#%k next?�

I apologies to people, who might be offended by my analogy.

Not offended at all. I have had many capitalist bosses just like that.

Comes screaming into a room just trying to legitimize his "bosshood". Orders everybody about to do some damned thing or other, mostly absurd, and then goes back into his office.

And, afterwards, everybody goes back to whatever they were doing before being so rudely interrupted.

Read "Dilbert" lately?

Others take offense, arguing that altering "Judeo-Christian" is political correctness and revisionist history at its worst.

He wants to talk revisionist history? How about stating that the U.S. was founded on "Judeo-Christian" values in the first place?
