Yes Prime Minister's The Grand Design (of war..oh, the insanity!)


Part 1 - 9.25 minutes, enjoy it is Saturday after all




You might want to forward to 5 minutes into this as a continuation of the previous video. Canceling 'Trident'?? Oh Poor Humphries..

"Sir Humphrey: With Trident we could obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe.
Jim Hacker: I don't want to obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe.
Sir Humphrey: It's a deterrent.
Jim Hacker: It's a bluff. I probably wouldn't use it.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, but they don't know that you probably wouldn't.
Jim Hacker: They probably do.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, they probably know that you probably wouldn't. But they can't certainly know.
Jim Hacker: They probably certainly know that I probably wouldn't.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, but even though they probably certainly know that you probably wouldn't, they don't certainly know that, although you probably wouldn't, there is no probability that you certainly would."

Yes Prime Minister - Nuclear Deterrent



One of my all time favourite comedy shows is the British Series and political satire, Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. As my previous post mentioned, I'm tired of politics and ready for the summer. That said, I'm always open for some satire, especially the political one. I've 'dedicated' previous posts to various bloggers (songs, books etc). This one goes to one of my favourite political analysts and pundit, Jeff Huber from Pen and Sword. Jeff, enjoy and 'ya'll' have a good weekend. It's the last one before my mother goes back to the Netherlands after her 2 month visit. Hopefully this time she won't have anything to grumble about the US customs!
