It has been reported that Trump
just made fun of Romney for “walking like a penguin”:
We are outraged at the
insinuation. Penguins walk nothing
like that stumblebum Romney -- they have a natural grace and dignity.

For your weekend reading pleasure,
we reproduce our earliest
think-piece (from March 2013)
on the relations between politics and penguins.

(1) One
is not quite sure whether the following description of the French President, by
his ex-mistress and songstress, is meant as a compliment …
Carla Bruni règle ses comptes avec
Hollande
Sans le nommer, l'ex-première dame
traite François Hollande de «pingouin» dans son prochain album.
Well, here are the lyrics; you be the judge:
«Il prend son petit air souverain
Mais je le connais, moi, le
pingouin n'a pas de manière de châtelain.
Eh, le pingouin, si un jour tu
recroises mon chemin,
Je t'apprendrai, le pingouin,
Je t'apprendrai à me faire le
baisemain (…)
Ni laid ni beau, le pingouin,
Ni haut ni bas, ni froid ni chaud,
le pingouin, ni oui ni non (…)
Tiens le pingouin t'as l'air tout
seul dans ton jardin»…
For those of you whose French is rudimentary, the
Translation Team here at the World of Dr Justice (headquarters: Geneva) offers the following free rendition (a certain poetic-license being
naturally effected metri causâ)
Hooray for penguins, the King of
Beasts!
Ruling the roost, from most to
least!
Join us in our voyaging,
and let’s go visit The Penguin King !!

have doubtless read of the recent plebiscite in the Falklands, in which 97% of
those voting elected to remain beneath the umbrella of Great Britain. Omitted from the MSM reports were the
vote totals of the indigenous (as opposed to colonialist) population, who
surely should have a say.
These are, of course, penguins, and they far outnumber the other bipeds
(the ones who lost their feathers in a long tragedy of evolutionary
decline). They voted almost
unanimously to reject both British and Argentine overtures, and to become an
Overseas Territory of Antarctica.
(The only dissent was a contrarian chick, who plumped for
the North Pole.)
Note: This is
not the first time that penguin suffrage has altered the course of history:
