Morons of Strategery

That nice straight sidewalk ahead always has lots of corners.

A diverse and inclusive club we got here.   Disorders of peripheral vision are a very common affliction.

But I’ll be really brief today; I can always add to this later.  Just taking a break from unraveling an unsatisfactory crochet project while reading the Daily Mail Online.

The clever guys in Orange Not-Jesus’ Administration thought the mullahs weren’t gonna say we can top that when he had Soleimani turned into overdone shish kebab? Iranians have a lot of patience when necessary and they like their revenge no matter what temperature it’s served at, and they sponsor quite a smorgasbord of henchloonies and they happen to be right next to an amazingly important yet vulnerable international shipping route.  Imagine that.

Working our way back in time, we’ve got the clever guys and gals in the Obama administration who sacrificed poor Chris Stevens to the usual CIA cover-story shenanigans after their genius move taking out the strongman who’d been holding back the tide of sub-Saharan migration to northerly shores.  And now we got sad guys from the Congo and Chad and Mauritania shivering in New York as they learn there ain’t no gold on the pavement.

And therefore today’s very special shout-out to Republicans of Futile Hearings who never ever have the wits to ask the right questions.  Not once in my lifetime.

In the not-so-long-ago Before Times I might’ve not been so irritated by their failures but we really need them to meet the moment and they keep losing themselves on the way. 

Anyone got an extra Amazon gift card?  Send ’em a boxed set of George Santayana and sign it for all of us.
