Hot Dogs And Diplomacy

Barack Obama has been criticized for not being firm enough with Iran. All that rhetoric from the right wing should change now. After watching the Iranian Government go on a killing spree against it's own people, President Obama took off the gloves and said "No hot dogs for you guys". No, this is not a joke. Our President, on the other hand...

It appears that, in his effort to reach out to the Iranian Government, President Obama had decided to invite Iranian Diplomats to a 4th of July (not to be confused with quatro de cinco) cookout. The featured entree? You got it. Good old American hot dogs. But, as the President was pressured to come out and take a firm stance against the Iranian Election fiasco, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was forced to recind the invitations.

 

 Unfortunately, circumstances have changed, and participation by Iranian diplomats would not be appropriate in light of the unjust actions that the President and I have condemned.  For invitations which have been extended, posts should make clear that Iranian participation is no longer appropriate in the current circumstances.

How in the heck does this guy expect to be taken seriously? Well I for one don't. I am, however, a guy with a pretty good sense of humor. I am also a capatilist. Hence, I introduce to you, the latest design from The Axis of Stevil Store celebrating this historic moment of tough foreign policy. Oh, you think it's not tough? This is the kind of stuff that shapes the world. Watch, in a decade or two, people will refer to "The Hot Dog Embargo Of 2009" as the moment that brought peace to the Middle East. Well, probably not. But it wouldn't hurt to have the shirt just in case.

  • Watered Down Travel Ban

    Watered Down Travel Ban

    I have some friends and family who supported President Trump from early on in the process. From time to time they will ask me when I will admit that I was wrong about him. "If Trump does x... If Trump gets y... If Trump supports a policy that results in z... will you admit that you were wrong?" My answer is always "no", because I wasn't wrong. To be clear, I could be wrong in practical application, but that isn't what an election is about. Elections are about theory and speculation and, generally speaking about judging records. Trump had no record to speak of, and his history of stances on issues was all over the map. I opposed his candidacy for several major reasons, all of which are proven valid in this single issue we now refer to as the "travel ban". Here were my reasons.

  • Fraudulent Rant by Judge Jeanine

    Fraudulent Rant by Judge Jeanine

    If you're not familiar with Justice with Judge Jeanine, it is a show on the FOX News Network starring Jeanine Pirro. She is known for her over-the-top rants where she serves up gobs of fresh red meat for her largely hard right wing audience. While it's not unusual for her to be a little fast and loose with the facts, she has been known to occasionally return from the break with a correction from her producers. Last night, however, there was no such correction to an outright lie she told on the show, and the matter being discussed should have (at the very least) contained a disclaimer from the host. I would cut her some slack, but as a former prosecutor and judge, she should be well aware of what proper protocol should have been here.

  • Wake The Hell Up, GOP!

    Wake The Hell Up, GOP!

    It's not cute anymore, Republicans. The President of the United States is completely detached from reality, and you can't fix that. You can't cover it up, you can't explain it away, and let me make this as clear as I possibly can for you. You cannot possibly undo the damage you are doing to the party brand by trying to pretend this man is anything other than completely unhinged. I'm watching Sean Hannity borrow guests from the Alex Jones show in an attempt to bolster Trump's conspiratorial claims. I'm seeing relatively mainstream conservatives make themselves look like the crazed fringes of the paranoid right wing. Don't believe me? Look at this.
