Seriously Evil Villains

"Often an entire city has suffered because of an evil man." ~ Hesiod

Did you ever notice the villains in cartoons have a sadistic sense of humor?

It seems the prospect of eventual world domination has a euphoric effect on cartoon super villains.

I can remember watching Saturday morning cartoons with my children such as He-Man, Power Rangers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Underdog, etc, and the villains would always laugh maniacally every time they revealed their plans to bring the world to it's knees in their quest to gain world power.

Even in popular movies evil power mad super villains always seem to have an odd sense of humor. Take Dr. Evil, from the Austin Powers series, for instance.

So, I wonder, do true evil villains with grandiose plans for world domination really enjoy inflicting pain and misery on people?



Apparently, the answer is yes.

LOL!!!

The resemblance is uncanny. Frank Langella played an excellent Skeletor in "Masters of the Universe," and if I am not mistaken, Nancy Pelosi was his stand in.

The sad reality is the Pelosiator is far more dangerous than Skeletor ever imagined being.

Pelosi is such a horrible representation of the democratic party...
(Why do both parties suck?)

Could somebody go to my communist friend's blog and explain why it won't work? I've been trying for weeks!

For years, I didn't believe that the answer was yes.

I know better now.
