farmdoc's blog post number 445

Today I ask two questions:

What part of the human body is situated an inch in front of the tip of the tailbone; is a longitudinal slit-like aperture unless it is being used for its intended purpose at which time it becomes oval; has thick muscle layers of which some are under voluntary control and some not; is richly supplied by sensory nerves and blood vessels so that disease of or injury to this body part is very painful and usually causes bleeding; and has hair-follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands at its opening to the outside world?

What would you call Bernie Ecclestone who last weekend publicly said that he admires Adolph Hitler as a leader who though he could ‘get things done’ was not a dictator; that Hitler ‘got lost’ toward the end of his rule and ‘was persuaded to do things that I have no idea whether he wanted to do or not’ and which led to his demise; that totalitarian governments are more effective than democracies so ‘We did a terrible thing when we supported the idea of getting rid of Saddam Hussein…(because)…He was the only one who could control that country’; and that his friend Max Mosley (who’s the son of the wartime fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley and who last year participated in a concentration camp themed orgy with prostitutes) [1], would make a good UK prime minister?

As it happens, both questions have the same answer.

As this tells, Mr Ecclestone's been struck by the expected case of contrition. But you only get one chance to make a first impression. And he's had his.
