First I barely speak and write English my native language. I can swear in two languages and have forgotten two others.

As for what I said, it translate this way, "If I open my mouth and say what I think politically all hell is going to break loose and I'd be blamed and banned."

Until I was 13, I thought my name was "Shut Up!"

Bedfellows make strange politicians.

In politics, stupidity is not a handicap. (Napoleon)

"Politically correct" is an oxymoron; nothing political is correct.

A bureaucrat is a politician with tenure.

University politics are vicious precisely because stakes are so small.

The problem with political jokes is that they get elected.

well, that must be what life is like for dyslexics. its true that i could scan through that only marginally slower than something written normally, and it was probably easier to read than words spelled incorrectly.

however the premise that spelling is unimportant is untrue, you still need to know the first and last letters of words.
