it's not what is said, but who says it?

"We're a convenient minority," said Greg Chang, the manager of operations at the ImaginAsian theater, a Manhattan cinema that screens exclusively Asian fare. "A comedian can make fun of Asian Americans and seem edgy without running much risk. Or a school can point to their Asian students and say that they have a lot of minority students even if they don't have any African-Americans enrolled."

which reminds me of the Monty Python skit... "it's fried rice, not flied lice, you plick!"

What? You weren't expecting a Spanish Inquisition?

[JARRING CHORD]

[The door flies open and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain [Palin] enters, flanked by two junior cardinals. Cardinal Biggles [Jones] has goggles pushed over his forehead. Cardinal Fang [Gilliam] is just Cardinal Fang]

Ximinez: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.

Oh come on! You all knew someone was going to say it!
