Notorious Traitors of History

Benedict Arnold


Vidkun Quisling


Pssh...Small potatoes. According to Paul Krugman, this guy is a traitor to the whole freakin' planet



Especially when he fires up his 1988 Suburban and heads off to the store to buy cigarettes.

Is that Dan Akroyd?

JeffS said...

And booze, Paco. Cigarettes and booze.

Paco said...

No, that is not Dan Akroyd! Sheesh! You're at least the third person who's accused me of looking like Akroyd, Steve. Although that's better than being told one looks like Steve King (which also happened to me, once).

at last we see the notorious paco

Steve Burri said...

Back in the olden longhair days I was often mistaken for Ted Nugent or Kurt Rambis. Must have been the alcohol 'cause Rambis is 6'8" and I'm maybe 5'11".

What no zoot suit?

Verry dapper anyway.

Old Tanker said...

Akroyd? I was thinking more like Lenny of Laverne and Shirley fame....(runs out the door......)

Paco said...

Old Tanker, you come back here!

By 'Traitor' Krugman means Heretic.

Just have to share this comment by "Duke of Sharon" off Kimball's blog:

"The Aztecs not only pioneered the chocolate industry but the Environmental segment of the Fear Industry as well. They produced scientific consensus on the need for human sacrifice: For half of the year, the sun was obviously moving farther south every day and unless society woke up and did something about it, the sun would continue to move south, bringing about darkness, death, and ruin. It would have been irresponsible to not do something!"

It's because of the booze that the ciggies have to be bought, JeffS.

Except that I'm too lazy I'd make separate trips to get the booze, ciggies and food, just to create a bigger carbon footprint.

These days being labeled a traitor by the lefties counts as a badge of honor.

Bruce: That's a superb analogy to the Gore wing of enviro-fabulism!

Yojimbo said...

Born to different sets of parents and yet you and Wron are identical twins! Strange.

Anonymous said...

Evil, pure undiluted evil. A long coat made from thousands of Polar Bear eyelids, a necktie that was once used to strangle a hippy to death and sunglasses that conceal eyes with a piercing red glow.

I'm betting those hobnailed shoes have repeatedly been used to crush dissent.

Sartorial excellence.

Paco, if you knocked on my door at midnight I'd be worried, especially at 4ft 36inches.

Paco said...

Penguin: Correct in every detail!

Col. Milquetoast said...

I understand you didn't want to scare the neighbors (any more than they already might be) but you'd look even sharper carrying a Tommy gun.

You look like the type of counterculture nonconformist who would openly keep a planet assassinating carbon outputting device in your backyard (aka a grill).

Paco said...

Grill maintained, as suspected..

JeffS said...

Paco, as per the good Colonel's suggestion, here's where to go if you have a few shekels to spare....

RebeccaH said...

My image of Detective Paco down to the last thread and spit-shine!

Paco said...

Jeff: I would love to have one of those! I wonder if I can convince Mrs. Paco that it would be a good investment?

Rebecca: Thankee, ma'am. Although I generally picture Detective Paco as being...er...about 20 pounds lighter.

Hey,as an expact Brit living in Canada, I must disagree!!!

Benedict Arniold was a good guy, hero!

As for everything else, I agree.

Robert of Ottawa said...

Isn't Dan Aykroyd a Canadian, born in ottawa, no less!!!

Ha! QED!

Robert of Ottawa said...

Are those knuckle dusters on your right hand, Paco?

Paco said...

No, no, my boy! That's just a ring (with the family crest, as a matter of fact: two cats fighting over a garbage can).

JeffS said...

Just tell Mrs. Paco that it's a "Chicago typewriter", is considered a business expense, and is therefore tax deductible.

Easy peasy!
