Foreign Policy Advice

You and I know there are only two logical possibilities.

--Pakistan bosses didn't know Osama lived across the street from its version of West Point. That makes them stupid.

--They knew  but didn't tell us, probably because that might reduce Uncle Sam's shower of cash before every Paki  general became a millionaire. That makes them evil.

---

Nevertheless, we shouldn't press those points too hard at the moment. When they tell us they were full partners and rilly, rilly, helped us find and kill bin Laden, we should smile and say sure and thanks-a-lot.  Because until we figure out how to get our kids out of Dodgeghanistan, we need docile Pakistanis on the eastern flank.

We can pop their treacherous asses later if we still feel like it.

Poor Michele

Michele Bachmann, the congresslady who aspires to lead the Free World, lives in Stillwater, Minnesota, on the St.Croix River. The bridge from Stillwater to Houlton, Wisconsin,  is going to seed, and the Washington Post is displaying a little schadenfreude at Michele's failure to get an earmark to fix it.  I mean, if you can't hustle a few million federal taxpayer bucks through your fellow lawmakers, how the Hell can you cut deals with King Abdullah?

It now falls to Rep. Michele Bachmann, the congresswoman who calls Stillwater home, to finally get it done. The bridge will test whether one of the most recognizable elected officials in Washington can fulfill the most basic duty of members of Congress: delivering for the voters in their district.

Which proves the Post is at least as batshit crazy as Michele.

She took an oath to defend the Constitution. That document is strangely silent on the question of traversing the St. Croix, whether by Lexus or by birch bark canoe.

A speedy way of getting out of Minnesota is a most worthy goal, just not a federal one.







I can hear it coming, out of the leftern sky.

Why didn't they just shoot the gun out of his hand?
