Same goes for your mother asking you not to go out hunting on a particular day. Portents about weather, particularly when delivered by an old sailor who is not currently chatting up a country maid, are always worth heeding.
Does this mean "Bad Moon Rising" by CCR is actually an English folk ballad?
Do not, for any reason, mess with a man’s Stetson hat or a man who is wearing a Stetson.
Is tugging on Superman's cape or spitting into the wind OK?
The Nazis weren't all that bad to their Allied prisoners (especially compared to the Japanese treatment of them) probably because of some asinine Aryan-blood-purity thing with the English and Americans. That Senator should have been specific, speaking about how the Nazis treated the Jews.
The real way Bush et al. are like the Nazis is in their ability to dehumanize (in their minds) those who are most different from them. The way they're like the Allies is being like the Allies of WWI-- sowing the wind by impoverishing and victimizing Iraqis the way the Allies did Germany at the end of the first World War.
