That was Mussolini. He had a better tailor, and his girlfriends probably wore fashionable sunglasses. Not like that German freakboy.
Teddy was better. Teddy was cool before cool was cool.

Actually, he only got 1 train to run on time (there was a rail workers strike on during the mini-revolution which got him into power and he was hiding out in another city when the call came out that he needed to shift bottom to the capital in order to get a shiny uniform and lots of medals - he told the station master to get his poop together and get the train to run).

Italy, living large and looking good since 237 BC.

It is really quite funny walking round Italy and looking at the uniforms they have for pretty much any "official" job. It is like an explosion in a gold braid shop
I would point out that americans have a different take on what they consider liberal and conservative compared to the British. Obama is more akin to our conservative David Cameron, we think your Republicans are far right nutters by comparison.
Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

Well, people do it so it can be done. Whether or not it's correct is something I'll leave to the people what can speak proper, but people certainly can and do form contractions with nouns.

Sort of. The train service was slow and frequently suffered long delays and in the early years of Mussolini's rule this improved, but this improvement was due mostly to the infrastructure spending and reforms put in place by the previous government.

Yeah, I posted that test here a while back, in part to see if anyone could honestly produce an authoritarian, right wing answer. We got a couple, which says something about some of the posters here, because that site is crazy biased towards the left.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”
