Not for his current persona, but for his con artistry and his penchant for cheap theatrics.</p><p>I've known him long before he assumed his grand role of the World&#8217;s Hero. I still recall witnessing, two decades ago, his audacious stunt of playing the piano with his dick on an ordinary stage, watched by ordinary people. At that moment, I couldn't help but think that one must possess a unique fabric of character to pull off such a feat.</p><p>My instincts were spot on; the guy was indeed special. Twenty years later, our piano virtuoso had transformed into a relentless provocateur, barking incessantly for two years at the world's most powerful leaders, demanding daily assistance, more funds, and unwavering allegiance to his cause.</p><p>A seemingly unassuming civilian with no military background whatsoever, he graced the world's screens daily, adorned in some semblance of military attire, often appearing under the influence. <strong>It was a performance in and of itself.</strong></p><p>As for how his movie will conclude, or how future historians will interpret his story&#8212;whether as a dark comedy, a mockumentary, or a tragedy akin to the ancient Greek tales&#8212;only time will reveal the answer.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Welcome to Gulliburg]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most of the weird news are just lame pranks which are sold to gullible as &#8220;mysteries&#8221;.
