A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO THE TERM

"EARTHSHAKING"



UPDATE: video has been removed from the YouTube. Well, it is pretty disturbing. Try here.

Don't worry, folks -- the United States Navy is on the case, surfing the tsunami to deliver the necessaries. I have it on the highest authority. (My baby boy.)


Meanwhile, back on "solid ground":

OBAMA WISHES HE WERE PRESIDENT OF AN ASIAN WORKERS' PARADISE

Gee, ya think?

Governing a country full of people who refuse to be coerced and ignored can be such a pain. There was nothing in the Alinsky manual about putting up with pesky voters' expectations.

Sheesh!!! Can I play through?


And at the other, er, extreme: some people just
keep wanting to be president of the U.S.

NEWT, THE HELPLESSLY PATRIOTIC -- JUST GIVE IT UP, DUDE!

Jeffrey Goldberg, over at the Atlantic, is properly disdainful of Newt Gingrich's limp attempt to explain away his, er, "colourful" (read: "tawdry") personal history. Apparently he got distracted from his duty to be a decent human being by the seductive siren song of patriotism.

Puh-le-e-eze.

Step out of the way, Newt. If it was ever your moment (and I doubt that), it has most assuredly passed. Make way for the New Kids on the Block (Kantor, Ryan, Rubio, even Palin. No Newt, no Mitt, no way. That's it.)


I believe his name was Barry Maguire, and once upon a time he wrote:

THE EASTERN WORLD, IT IS EXPLODIN' --
VIOLENCE FLARIN', BULLETS LOADIN'

So, class, let's review: these are some of the images we've been meditating on for the past three years. Keep them in mind during your daily perusal of the Drudge Report.































Iran, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, piracy in Somalia, slaughter in Darfur, Al Qaeda in Yemen -- and the strange shrunken spectator watches the World on Fire.


This is how we "Win the Future". Yeah?
