    The Augean Stables, Hercules Cleans Up, (or Not!)

    For the Fifth Labour [sic.), Eurystheus ordered Hercules to clean up King Augeas' stables. Hercules knew this job would mean getting dirty and smelly, but sometimes even a hero has to do these things. Then Eurystheus made Hercules' task even harder: he had to clean up after the cattle of Augeas in a single day.

    ================================

    Is there an Hercules in Brazil?
    Whose stable would he turn to first?
    Can it be done?
    Dilma/Lula? or Cunha?
    Whose shit stinks worst?
    Does it matter?

    Perhaps Brazil is the whole Stable, and needs 'both walls breaking to let the rivers flush it all out' ?

    President Dilma in a few years will be remembered as the person who fought and won the endemic corruption that plagued Brazil.

    I have the absolute conviction that if the PSDB who were in government that fight against corruption was not being fought.

    Corruption has always existed in Brazil and in the world as well. In the governments of right-wing parties (1500-2002) corruption was pushed under the carpet, it was muffled. No one was knowing because the Brazilian State was dominated by civil servants appointed by the corrupt from the right. There was almost no public tenders to fill the vacancies. Everything was muffled. With the complicity of the press that has always belonged to the ruling class that ruled the country.

    @2. You have a conviction? What was it for? Murder? Assault? Lying? Theft?

    It's good that you're coming clean. Wouldn't it be nice if Rousseff and Lulu did the same?

    Brazil has always been a rat's nest of corruption. It is good to see that they're on the path to becoming a legitimate and civilized country.
    In the end this is good for the Society and the country to grow.

    2@ Socialist Illiterate Donkey,

    You must by all means be just another low-life socialist unschooled jackass well paid currently by Rousseff's socialist mammalia and certified whore's administration in exchange for a self-loaded yellow federal grant card to fully bring it out your state-of-art homemade decayed stupidity to the highest peaks possible within a shit-hole on earth's surface commonly known in today's world as fucking Brazil.

    To be quite frankly, you're the main reason to why we have invented double doors!

    Dilma will be remembered as Lula's puppet. Lula needed someone to succeed him that he could manipulate, and Dilma was the ideal candidate. Not too bright and scared of being eliminated, so she played along. The fact that she drove the country into a crisis, in order to further Lula's Bolivarian scialist dream, is the result of 10 years of bad decisions and the creation of a network of corruption inside all State companies, the magnitude of which has never been seen before, even by Brazilian standards. The only reason that the Federal Police are now investigationg several corruption schemes, simultaneously, is not because Dilma encouraged the investigations, but because when they started (almost by accident), the trail of evidence was too large to be ignored, or to be covered up by Lula. Dilma, Lula and the PT will be remembered for screwing Brazil, setting it back 20 years.

    Nah I think this is Suzie. I know many do, but I don't subscribe to Nostrils having multiple logins at once. When he has attempted this in the past, he could never keep it up for very long. Every single time he reverts back to the exact same personality. He's actually got that many issues that it is impossible for him to actually hide them.

    So Simper is just plain weird because no one could ever believe those language skills are anything but someone whose first language isn't English. And Brasiliero has very specific personalities clearing showing who has logged in that day. Consistently different personalities. They would actually be better off creating seperate logins so they could better get their message out.

    Anyway that is just my opinion.

    The other thing to remember. I once tried to fathom who was a sock puppet until I realised that their use reflects solely on the person who created then. They are created because someone lacks an ability to convey a message in the same manner that everyone else does. This highlights their own inadequacies. So I just reply as if each poster is who they say. It doesn't mean that I have been tricked or look foolish it they are an actual sock puppet, because I am replying to the message they post.

    I wasn't always like this. But I'm happy to learn, adapt and change.

    I didn't and will admit that I had to Google it. While I grew up on plenty of British comedy (Only Fools and Horses (funny deviation to a story, but I met Trigger when I was living in London. He was swimming with his sons at the Men's Pond at Hampstead Heath), Keeping up Appearances, Man about the House, Good Life, One Foot in the Grave, 'Allo 'Allo) I wasn't familiar with that one.

    However I strongly resisted making another joke when he said “Skipped cock-sucker”....... that is not something that I try to skip...... LOL
