Hold onto your socks, I'm about to praise President Obama—twice! Ein, I commend the president for going against a significant faction of the Democratic base & his own protectionist preferences in support of free-trade agreements with South Korea, Colombia, & Panama: R.O.K.-link & Gran Colombia-link. We could have had these agreements four years ago were it not for Democratic obstructionism in the Congress, illogical intransigence which President Obama was instrumental in overcoming. Well done, sir; in all sincerity, better late than never. Zwei, American "advisers" are being deployed to coordinate the end of the reign of terror of the Lord's Resistance Army: AFRICOM-link. I have long held that U.S. foreign policy should be guided in part by A.K.B.: we should we in the "arshole-killing business." Joseph Kony is an arsehole of the first order, & the world will be a better place once his poisoned soul has been dispatched to Perdition. Remind me some other time to lay out the comprehensive moral, philosophical, & economic case for A.K.B. For the time being, my thanks & congratulations to Mr. Obama for making this right call.

Let us hope these decisions are the start of a trend, so that the last year of his administration can undo some of the damage wrought over the first three.
