’Cos I love him on Tux Wonder Dogs.
That's quite possibly the least ambiguous insult I've ever come across.

China is expanding it’s power in the Pacific, through the pen rather than the sword.

Her silence is damming
A Dutch conspiracy, then, you reckon?

Now to see if I can set AdBlock to recognise any mention of royalty as an ad and block it.
There's always someone who has to go too far.
