This from the quintessential moron who believes that Michael "I ate yo

We'd rather blame your father's drunkenness and the condoms industry
having failed your mother in an hour of dire need.

Yeah, we hear that the Emperor was so thrilled at the news that he had
to throw up all the sushi he ate that day.

As much as we would deplore the brusque lowering of Japanese
citizenship's average IQ through your simple presence there, from the
American point of view that's a decision that should be saluted and
rejoiced in. Don't let the door slam your ass too hard when you
finally decide to impart some of your "gifts" with the privileged of
other countries.
