Vote For Kodos
I hate it when racist Vice President Biden is right. Now, mind you, that only happens once in a blue moon, and even then it is more out of sheer chance that any insight on his part. The phrase that springs to mind is "even a broken clock is right twice a day." But I digress. Racist Vice President Biden said, back when he was racist Senator Biden, that some bad actor on the world stage will "test the mettle" of President Obama. And now, looky here, just over a fortnight into the Obama presidency, the Russians have scored a major victory in the Great Game: Kyrgyzstanlink. Our response? Jack squat, thus far. In the words of Philip J. Fry, "I am shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked."

Also, on a lighter note, how are you all enjoying, in Sean Connery's memorable phrase, the Chicago way? What "Chicago way," you ask? Al Capone's criminal empire, the Chicago Outfit, was only ever undone by his conviction for income tax evasion. The flaunting of the tax code by Secretary Geithner, former Senator Daschle, and Ms. Killefer must have endeared them to the Chicago mob currently running the White House, who cannot possibly comprehend the furor over such a trifling matter as failing to pay one's taxes. I hope backing down in the face of Russian assertiveness and flagrantly disregarding the rules by which law-abiding citizens have to live are the kinds of "change" you believed in when you voted for our charlatan president, because these things are emblematic of what we can expect in the months and years ahead. Defeat at any cost!

Welcome to the parade of horrors.
