Quit yer' Stalin
Today's Daily Shirt is an extra-special, super-duper, high-faluttin', dead supreme leader kinda post!
With a famous moustache to boot! In keeping with Theme Week, and all...
And, for added effect, a tie-in to the fact that, today our sly little friends south of the border are pretending that their silly two-party, "you have the freedom to choose, as long as it's one or the other" republic actually cares what the other 99% of income earners think about the job their 'elected' leaders are doing.
Now, the Shirtmaster knows that he's glossing over a lot of history with this post, and that those sensitive about protecting their insular view of history will no doubt take offense and demand that I site reputable references or revoke my keyboard.
But Shiry has a grand sense of irony. And by grand, I don't mean that it's got a thousand dollars worth of irony stached in, say, a trunk down by the ol' wharf. Why? Because that doesn't make a lick of sense.
What I mean is that today's Daily Shirt, all at once cut deals with some very bad people, double-dealed and was double-dealed, and ended up with a mixed-up reputation.
So, without taking days to write, let's just say that common elements like having a hand in defeating the Axis, a nationalist leader relying strongly on patriotism for control and a sizable military presense outside it's established borders make for some interesting parallels.
I trust you can see the irony, comrade...
