    Oh, he's ambilingual with that forked tongue of his,
    he does both at once out opposite sides of his
    mouth. Since he's also arguably two-faced, this may
    even give him quadraphonic capabilities, to
    mendicate, prevaricate, lie, and disinform at you
    all at once from all directions at once.

    Nigeria has all the government a country could want,
    as long as you spell "government" "Shell Oil".

    It's a lot like the US in that regard, except that
    there are more players here, so our government is a
    diversely held subsidiary of our business
    plutocracy, rather than being *monopolized* by any
    one entity, say, Microsoft, for example which only
    owns the Department of Justice, not the whole
    Federal government.

    xanthian.

    If you heed Fahrenheit 9/11, there's a healthy
    international investment aspect to US government,
    too, sort of "equal opportunity corruption" gone
    into overdrive.
