литературный вкус

"Гляньте, Софи, правда, лучше Пушкина?" - а сам сзади костыль держит. Она прочла и говорит: "Нет, Левушка, гораздо хуже. А чье это?" Тут он ее по башке - трах! С тех пор он всегда полагался на ее литературный вкус.

respectable Jewish attorney

Handed the indictment, Dr Robert Ley’s first reaction was to ask for defence counsel, preferably ‘a respectable Jewish attorney.’ - Ibid.

Ирвинг не упускает случая развлечься на счет победителей:

General Eisenhower had turned down the requests of the British judges, Lawrence and Birkett, to bring their wives over from England into his theatre. Both were gloomy about it, and threatened repercussions through the Foreign Office; but the supreme commander probably feared even worse repercussions if Mamie were allowed to come over, and stood firm against creating any precedent.

как и подобает порядочному человеку, шуток относительно побежденных Ирвинг себе за редким исключением не позволяет. вот разве приведенная выше по поводу доктора Лея.

огурцы

Коллега посетил в офисном центре туалет. Пока он заседал в кабинке, некие дамы в предбаннике, готовясь, по всей видимости, к вечеринке, мыли огурцы. И обсуждали их. Теперь коллега лежит на диване лицом вниз и всхипывает, утверждая, что ничего подобного никогда не слышал. и он вынужден пересмотреть всю свою жизнь. - zloy-alex

Yet when the British war minister warned the cabinet that there were ‘obvious political reasons’ why Britain could not give any of her German prisoners to the Soviet Union, Lord Cherwell – famous for his role in advocating the unrestricted bombing of civilians in 1942 – discounted this and wrote to Churchill a week after the war ended recommending that ‘the Germans can be used in gangs and the ardent Nazis transferred to the Russians, who, I am sure, will be able to alter their views.’ - David Irving, NUREMBERG, THE LAST BATTLE [pdf]

more important matters

"The Americans ... have invented so wide a range of pithy and hackneyed phrases that they can carry on an amusing and animated conversation without giving a moment's reflection to what they are saying and so leave their minds free to consider the more important matters of big business and fornication." -- Somerset Maugham

Желто-синяя солидарность

Министр иностранных дел Швеции в пятницу вечером написал в своем блоге, что Москва при помощи экономического шантажа пытается заставить Киев изменить свой политический курс. - Желто-синяя солидарность

это только Москва занимается экономическим шантажом, ясное дело. санкции больше никто в мире не применяет.

The Viscount Cherwell

aka Frederick Lindemann,

advocated the "area" bombing of German cities during World War II... believed that a small circle of the intelligent and the aristocratic should run the world, resulting in a peaceable and stable society, "led by supermen and served by helots."[9] Jewish [10], yet anti-democratic, insensitive and elitist, Lindemann supported eugenics, held the working class, homosexuals and blacks in contempt and supported sterilization of the mentally incompetent.

Sperm Donor Sued For Child Support

"I believe that is the intent of the law, so that we don't end up with these ambiguous situations," [de Rocha] told the AP. - nola.com

cbsnews.com разъясняет:

The state contends the agreement between Marotta and the women is not valid because Kansas law requires a licensed physician to perform artificial insemination.

"Speaking generally, all individuals who apply for taxpayer-funded benefits through DCF are asked to cooperate with child support enforcement efforts," Angela de Rocha, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Department for Children and Families, said in a statement. "If a sperm donor makes his contribution through a licensed physician and a child is conceived, the donor is held harmless under state statue. In cases where the parties do not go through a physician or a clinic, there remains the question of who actually is the father of a child or children.

Not a murmur was heard

Lure of the Limerick

"I must leave here," said Lady De Vere,
"For these damp airs don't suit me, I fear."
    Said her friend: "Goodness me!
    If they don't agree
With your system, why eat pears, my dear?"



There was a young girl from Darjeeling
Who could dance with such exquisite feeling.
    Not a murmur was heard,
    Not a sound, not a word,
Save for fly buttons hitting the ceiling.
