So many Ukrainians are Nazis, that they have to be kidding. Or else they're playing us for fools.

SPEAKING OF MEL BROOKS,HOW ABOUT A SEQUEL TO ONE OF HIS MOVIES--WITH HIM WRITING AND PRODUCING(MAYBE ACTING).
GRA:I can't think of Hitler without thinking of Mel Brooks.He's incredible--Brooks,that is.
(CB.com)Forty years after Mel Brooks's History of the World, Part I hit theaters, the filmmaker has finally decided to make a History of the World, Part II. While the original was a feature film that played out as a series of interconnected vignettes, the sequel will be a full-on TV series, airing on the streaming platform. Production will begin in early 2022, likely targeting a late 2022/early 2023 release date for the series. Brooks is set to write and executive produce. It is not clear whether the series will take the approach of recent high-profile TV projects like WandaVision and Peacemaker, where one person directs most episodes.
At the time, the title was actually a gag. There were no plans for History of the World, Part II at all, with the title being a riff on Sir Walter Raleigh's The History of the World, which was intended as a definitive history of the world, and was added to in the years following its initial publication by Raleigh and numerous other authors.
Variety reports that Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, Ike Barinholtz, David Stassen and Kevin Salter will produce the series along with Brooks. There are no official plot details yet, although...y'know. History.
It isn't yet clear whether Brooks himself will return as an actor, although a brief cameo (and a reprise of his iconic line "It's good to be king") seems likely. Drawing on some of the greatest comedians of the era, Brooks assembled a cast that averaged a little older than the average Hollywood blockbuster, with stars like Sid Caesar, Dom DeLuise, and Henny Youngman, with narration by Orson Welles.
Shecky Greene, Barry Levinson, and Brooks himself are among the only surviving members of the original film's cast. Greene, who played Marcus Vindictus in the film, was inducted into the Comedy Hall of Fame in 2020, but has not had an on-screen credit since 2000, excepting some brief appearances in documentaries. Levinson, who had a cameo appearance in History of the World, Part I, is best known not as an actor or comedian, but as a filmmaker. He has produced and directed movies like Rain Man, Wag the Dog, and Good Morning, Vietnam.

SHECKY GREENE IS STILL AROUND(AGE 95)
In 2017,someone did an interview with him and asked him this question
Question: Give me an example of your legendary jokes.
Answer: I should never eat lox because I can’t find the combination.
GRA:I never was a fan,but hey,that's funny.

Well now that I watched Shecky Greene on Youtube--very talented.Like a combination of Robin Williams and Sid Caesar in style.I guess I was too young back then to appreciate.

Jewish lawmaker in Canada says 'Honk honk' is an 'acronym' for 'Heil Hitler!' -- link
In mass democracy, deranged nuts like this woman get elected and make laws that affect your life.
Thought of the day by GRA:
The same people complaining about Russia going into the Ukraine,have no problem with Mexico and other countries pouring millions of lowlifes into the U.S.

I had no idea Shecky Greene was still alive, I hadn't given him a thought for decades but looked up some old videos of him on Youtube. The most interesting one was an appearance on Playboy After Dark where Don Rickles also made an appearance. Don took over the show though, about halfway through when everybody sat down to talk he masterfully became the focus of the show. He poked relentless fun at Hugh who took it good naturedly and in another great segment riffed hilariously with Shecky. Bill Cosby bizarrely made an appearance with Doug McClure, both of them wearing scuba outfits prompting Don to remark: "You don't see many negro frogmen"
I'm not sure what Cosby's schtick was supposed to be but he didn't say a word the entire time and I have a feeling he planned it that way because he knew that Don would blow him away in the laughs department, like he does everybody else.
There was one point though where Don was actually at a loss for a comeback, a very beautiful (weren't they all in Hugh's mansion?) young lady asked Don to take off his clothes and he was actually tongue tied for a few seconds. You don't see that happen to Don very often.
Melvin Belli was there also along with a few musical artists I never heard of lip synching some songs. It would have all been kind of bland except for Don and Shecky spicing things up and making it hilarious. I couldn't help but wonder how many girls Cosby drugged and raped that night.

Some Ukrainians did fight with Hitler and then fought against Hitler during WW2. Also fought against Stalin during the same conflict. The history of Ukraine is complicated.
