#1 I understand that the Vietnamese Ronald McDonald bares a striking likeness to Ho Chi Minh.

Or is it Colonel Sanders

#2 But every minimum wage graduate of McDonald's front and back lines will have learnt important lessons in becoming a successful capitalist. So that's ok.

In the the case of the ~~Cong~~ Vietnamese they don't require much in the way of lessons, I think it's genetic or their mother or something.

#5 My message to any Victor Charlies and Nathanial Victors who stumble by the 'burg:

Is this why you lived in the jungle all those years? So your kids could eat Big Macs and drink Starbucks? You could have had all this without all the napalm or the millions killed! Talk about a waste.

It wasn't really their choice, most of them were drafted and in the case of VC's extorted ("join us or we come back and kill your kids.")

And really, in this case, they're only slightly less unfree under "Prime Minister's Son-in-Law Capitalism" than they are under Communism.
