If you feel a thumping in your head this morning, it might not be just because you stayed up past your bedtime drinking beer and watching Breaking Bad (about which, may I just say, “OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!”). No, it could be that you’re feeling the drum beat of the march to war that our president has begun. Yes, it’s an all-out media blitz in order to gain support from congress (if not from We the People) for Obama’s plan to, um, well I’m not sure what the plan is. I think the plan is to just go blow shit up on general principles (those principles being that we said we’d do something<\/em><\/strong> so by god we’re gonna do something<\/em><\/strong>, lest we look as if we have no influence over any of them people over there).<\/p>\n

Here’s an unsolicited tip to the Obama administration from me: we currently have just about zero influence on them people over there. <\/p>\n

I’m not sure what makes the president think he can count on the Republicans in the House to have his back. I mean, I know they generally love to blow up mooslams and all, but their love for death and destruction is greatly overshadowed by their hatred for that commie librul you-know-what in the White House. Plus, We the People really aren’t up for another war at this point in time.<\/p>\n

If I was Obama, I’d ask the Israelis to go blow up Syria for us before our congress gets to vote no and make Obama look even more ineffectual than he already does (if that’s even possible). Except I don’t think the Israelis want any of this shit, either – Assad may be a chinless fuck, but they probably figure he’s better than whoever comes out ahead between Hezbollah and Al Qaeda (which should provide years of exciting – and bloody – action as they battle it out to see who gets to keep Syria).<\/p>\n

Should be an exciting week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
