Election Update for September 12, 2007 - "Because the World is not Enough..."

 

My running mate, Germaine Gregarious, has been hitting the campaign trail with great vigor after her recent vacation. Aside from offering some unique insight into Sen. Larry Craig, she has been wading through some of the murkier elements of the media.

Ms. Gregarious seems to have gotten the better of Bill O'Reilly during her interview on the The O’Reilly Factor without even trying. She didn't even have to use a loofah!

In his latest attempt to influence the mainstream media, the Evil Dr. Monkerstein created an army of Robot Army of Jimmy Olsens! These foul formations of creepy cub reporters attempted to kidnap me on my way to the Rumpus Room...

Things were looking pretty grim for yours truly! Luckily, Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator and his trusty ship, the Danger Sled, intervened and saved the day! After we conquered Dr. Monkerstein's evil Press Conference of Doom...

We retired for Mai Tai's in the Rumpus Room! My running mate Germaine Gregarious threw a great party for Jon and the rest of the gang.

Although she had a wonderful time, Freida Bee seems to have forgotten the majority of the evening. After she arrived with a half kilo of banana peels, things got a bit out of hand! It was like watching Tippi Hedren in an Alfred Hitchcock/Woody Allen movie. Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator brought Jan the Intergalactic Aviator, and two of them danced a wicked two-step to Ms. Germaine's house band, the Crypt Kicker Five. Later, Jon had a little accident on the rug behind the credenza.

Jon Sent each of the prospective candidates a delicious banana cream pie! Dr. Monkerstein was especially appreciative, and although I had a little trouble getting it out of the box, I would like to personally thank Jon. Do you think that you could send another? Make it two!

Professor Xavier has been cooking up some rather deliberately offensive video games. Also, Freida Bee has also insulted both monkeys and apes by comparing them to the most foul human of them all. It is amusing how humans continually try to disassociate themselves from the evil of their own president by comparing him to an ape or a monkey. Even Monkerstein is not that evil!

Dr. Monkerstein gave a rousing stump speech about his personal political philosophy, and then was off to the beach for some fun in the sun.

After his return, the doctor has been moonlighting as a high profile White House correspondent. He has been planning a going away party for Tony Snow and Karl Rove!

Samurai Frog has been briefly discussing his "negotiations" with the Martians. As you can see from this photo, the special effect that he has employed for his Tardis have greatly improved. You can hardly see the wires! The Fearsome Fraudulent Frog has also been molesting kittens, and has yet to comment on Ms. Gregarius' ski outfit.

After being attacked by the four hounds of hell, Sleestak is happy to see that his wife has finally returned from the far off land of Stupidlandia.

After being ignored by the media in favor of his running mate Marcia Brady, Dr. Smith has been sulking and spending entirely too much time with Buffy and Mr. French, if you ask me.

Meanwhile, Ms. Greagarious and I have retired to the Zen Room. We are hard at work on our campaign strategy, and preparing for our next adventure. Bye for now!

 

 
 

The "I Don't Whether to Laugh or Cry" Dept.

 

According to Robert Draper’s new book about George W. Bush, "Dead Certain," The president is a big fan of Austin Powers' films and in particular, the character of Dr. Evil, often imitating him along the corridors of the White House. See the video at Crooks and Liars.

Love Signs: It is Written in the Stars

Perhaps all of this hostility between the United States and Iran is merely a misunderstanding. According to Astrology Weekly, Iran is an Aquarius and the United States is a Sagittarius. Of course, the obvious question is what is the compatibility between these two signs? astrology-insight.com says:

Aquarius With Sagittarius: Aquarius gets along with Sagittarius extremely well, almost the best match, very good! compatibility rank = 9 (10 is best)
There will never be dull moments with these two and together they could experience their most memorable moments of life with their friends and family at their side. Social groups, entertainment and sporting events will keep the relationship stimulating. Both need independence and share similar creative abilities. These two can really have fun! But, the Sagittarian finds the Aquarian too detached, so that stops this from being the perfect match. [ astrology-insight.com ]

Gosh! We are almost a perfect match! We just need some sporting events will keep the relationship stimulating! They like soccer, don't they? Or maybe we can interest them in some Nascar or Bowling. Ping pong worked for US-China relations. How about some Islamofascist vs. Democracy karaoke?

AQUARIUS - SAGITTARIUS: Both are unpredictable, active and cheerful. They have a gorgeous time in bed, as they have a lot of sexual interests, vivid imagination and plenty of fantasies. Both like socializing, have lots of acquaintances and are interesting people themselves and, what is the most important, they are not jealous. Excellent partners for a short or long period of time. horoscopes.syl.com

Golly! Sounds like we make a sizzling couple! Put on your best summer burka, President Bush, and show us your stuff! Be a sport, it's for the good of the country. Let's get Linda Goodman on the White House staff!

(No, I don't believe in astrology. But then again, I don't believe in my president either. This makes about as much sense as anything else.)

"Once More Into the Breech," said Bush. "Once More!"

 

Blue Gal has suggested that we tell the world that we would like peace between Iran and the United States by having an anti-war blogswarm for Sept 11th, and so this is my entry.

The latest edition of the classified National Intelligence Estimate states that Iran is probably 10 years away from building nuclear weapons. Previous estimates put that number at five years. That is the crux of the White House's argument. It is based on fear that Iran might get technology and material to build nuclear weapons, putting it on an equal footing with Israel.

Israel has had nuclear weapons for years, but nobody talks about it as part of a "don't ask, don't tell" policy that the United States tacitly upholds. The rest of the world acknowledges this fact openly. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency has stated that he considers Israel as a state possessing nuclear weapons. [ Wikipedia ] It's not really a secret.

Beyond the fear that Iran and Israel might destroy each other, there is the idea that Iran might sell technology, delivery systems or fissionable materials to countries or terrorists that are unfriendly to the United States. That is really what all the fuss is all about. There is also some evidence of members of Al-Qaeda taking refuge in Iran. I don't really know, but I think that you can find evidence of Al-Qaeda being associated with just about anything the Republicans want to discredit these days. Remember, Democrats are associated with Al-Qaeda.

As much as we all hate Al-Qaeda, we shouldn't overhype their abilities or their actual effect upon the Arab landscape at this time. For example, Al-Qaeda is only responsible for approximately 2% of the violence that is taking place in Iraq. Despite Republican claims, the majority of violence in Iraq is "Iraqis fighting amongst Iraqis". [ Think Progress ]

Iran has been a long time sponsor Hezbollah, a Shi'ite Islamic organization based in Lebanon. Hezbollah is responsible for the deaths of the Americans killed in Beirut in the '80s and at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996. Hezbollah says that they want to expel the Americans and the French from Lebanon. The are also promote other countries adopting an Islamic form of government, which they state is is the only form of government capable of guaranteeing justice and liberty for all. Oh, and they want the complete and utter destruction of Israel.

This is one of the sticky points of the whole discussion. In the region none of the Arab countries really get along very well with each other, but they all have one thing in common. They all hate Israel. Of course, Israel hates them too. (US policy is pro-Israel, but also pro-oil. Tricky!) People say this animosity is because of religious differences, but the religions of all of these countries are pretty much all about respect for your fellow man and not killing each other if you read the books, just like Christianity. Like the rest of this tale, this part doesn't really make very much sense.

All of these countries (including Israel) have governments that seem pretty awful when compared to the average John Wayne movie. By comparison, they make the Bush White House look downright palatable. Well... It's kind of like comparing turds to cowpies. I don't really like either choice, but I'm a romantic. I still remember when this country resembled a democracy.

The idea being put forward for the attack of Iran goes kind of like this: We can't really put boots on the ground in Iran because we are running out of soldiers right now. This is because we are already really busy needlessly wasting the lives of our brave men and women in uniform in Iraq, and pretending that we actually have a viable force in Afghanistan. So that idea is not really going to work.

Instead, the plan is to bomb Iranian nuclear facilities with really expensive airplanes to delay their progress. Of course, many of these facilities are near civilians, so we can expect some civilian casualties. The deaths of these civilian casualties will surely stoke the ire of Iranians, the Arab community and the entire world. (with the possible exception of certain sections of Kansas.)

I think the idea is that this is probably a good time to attack because the world is already so mad at us, this act of war can't really get them any more upset. Our standing in the world community is already so screwed up, that this won't really make it any worse. If everybody's "angry dial" is already at 10, is this really going to push it to 11? The president is ready and willing to make book that it won't.

There is another angle as well. An air war looks really good on CNN. People love planes and smart bombs and stuff. This could really help rally those people that love that war related crap. There will be video games and future in-depth specials on the History Channel. Never underestimate the effect of things that look cool on television have on the general public. The kids love it! And Mom and Dad like it too. And the president can relive some of that "Commander-in-Chief-in-a-Time-of-War" stuff, just like after 911. Maybe he can even land on another aircraft carrier!

It is kind of a moot talking point that we are even allowed to do this sort of thing. Nobody in the media seems to discuss whether or not we need a note from the teacher to do this. The majority of the discussions in the media seem to be about whether or not it will have the intended effect, who will it piss off, etc.

It is interesting the phrases used to discuss the subject, like "regime change." If you don't like the actions of a another sovereign nation, just change it! Like socks! Cool phrases make people think it is an important subect worthy of their consideration. It's like the phrase, "Sanitised for your protection" sounds so much more official than, "By the way, we cleaned the bathroom."

The idea that Iran is some kind of threat to the United States is probably true on some level, but I am not convinced that the threat is so viable that we should start dropping bombs on people.

First, Iran really hates Israel a lot more than they hate us. They aren't aiming at us. Shouldn't we be trying to help the two of them make nice, instead of hypeing the real and perceived threats to the United States? Seems like a much better idea.

Second, Israel has the bomb. It's kind of hypocritical to say that Iran can't have one either. (Not that I like the idea of Iran or any nation having the bomb, but we need a far better talking point than "No, because you're evil.")

Third, our policies in that region have been kind of crappy. How about some diplomacy? Diplomats are lot cheaper and more expendable then our men and women in uniform, if you ask me. (And don't say that diplomacy won't work in Iran. We haven't really tried.) [ Think Progress, Wikipedia ]

Fourth, shouldn't we talk to our allies about this? The last time we went commando we got our Admiral Winkie stuck in the zipper. Ouch!

Fifth, the White House seems to like this idea. That alone should give us pause. Any idea that they have liked in the past few years has turned to crap faster than FOX News can ignore a Republican scandal.

And sixth, I think that there is a far greater threat to our national security than Iran, which I will discuss in a different post.

In 2002, a different National Intelligence report that was commissioned to to assess the possibility for "regime change" in Iran stated that Iran was on a "slow march toward democracy and cautioned against U.S. interference in that process." [ Washington Post ] Whatever happened to that idea?

Nobody in the country really wants Iran to have nuclear weapons. I am just not convinced that an act of aggression is really the best way to prevent this from happening. [ stopthewarnow.net ] Even if it was a great idea, our military is already kind of busy spending huge amounts of cash that we have borrowed from China in a war that the administration says was started on false information that they got from the CIA. (Yeah, right! Tell me another one.) We have already pissed off the entire Muslim world, this will only make it worse.

If we attack Iran, we will have pissed off the governments of two countries that are right next each other. I don't see how this can possibly be a good idea from a political or military standpoint.

And what about just the morality of the idea? We are talking about killing people.

What can I begin to say about Tom Lehrer? he is a modern American satirist whose talent is comparable to such notables such as Edgar Allen Poe and Ambrose Bierce, in my opinion. Lehrer's musical career was very brief, having performed only 109 shows, and written only 37 songs. His work is still popular today, some forty years after he gave up his musical career and decided to concentrate on teaching. His work reflects the era in which it was written, but is still relevant today.

I still have my well worn copy of "An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer" that I used to listen to over and over again when I was in high school, even though by the time I bought it used at a garage sale, Lehrer had already quit the business and gone back to teaching years before.

This article is far better than anything I could write about the comedian. This website has collection of lyrics with MIDI accompaniments, footnotes, links, and images. You can find a brief biography of Lehrer on Wikipedia. Lehrer's official website can be found here. A list accolades about Lehrer can be found at this website about "The Physical Revue," a show that he wrote and performed while he was in college.

Pollyanna Petraeus Prepares to Pacify by Painting Pretty Pictures!

 

According to what Keith Olbermann said last night on his television program, the long awaited Iraq report to be delivered to congress on Monday by General Petraeus is not actually going to be on paper. General Petraeus will merely describe the situation in Iraq out loud in his own words. Although this turn of events would seem to indicate the this important report will merely be made of high hopes, rainbows and moonbeams - we should actually be grateful that the assessment will be made of something this substantial. Previously these reports were usually made of hot air, ether and manure.

Bush Cries as Much as Any Other Crocodile

Two of my favorite books to read over and over again are "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass". (For a special treat, read the Annotated version for context.) I love these books not just for the wonderful stories told by Lewis Carrol, but also for the incredible woodcuts that were done by John Tenniel.

The rhetoric and policies of those presently in the White House have often been compared to the upside-down logic of Alice's adventures down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass, and for good reason. I was especially struck by similarity of the president's words and those of Lewis Carrol this morning when I read this quote that I found over at Crooks and Liars from Robert Draper's new book, "Dead Certain":

Bush: "I've got God's shoulder to cry on. And I cry a lot. I do a lot of crying in this job. I'll bet I've shed more tears than you can count, as president."

You may have already read the story of "The Walrus and The Carpenter", but if you are like me you find these words worth rereading from time to time. This biting commentary on the galling hypocrisy of some individuals is as compelling today as it was in 1872.

Al Gore Reveals the Latest Technological Trend

 

In a recent interview with Harvard’s alumni magazine, former Vice President Al Gore confirmed that the office of the Vice President is indeed part of the executive branch, despite earlier assertions made by Vice President Cheney. The former vice president also explained a recent technologocal trend among Democrats that is being used to contain some of the outrage that is being caused by the present administration.

Harvard Magazine: You were often referred to as the most powerful vice president.

Gore: That was before Dick Cheney.

Harvard Magazine: Point taken. Cheney has made the argument that the vice presidency is not part of the executive branch. Is he right?

Gore: (Laughs) Of course the vice presidency is part of the executive branch! But I fear that I’m losing my objectivity where President Bush and Cheney are concerned. Not much surprises me anymore. I have a lot of friends who share the following problem with me: Our sense of outrage is so saturated that when a new outrage occurs, we have to download some existing outrage into an external hard drive in order to make room for a new outrage. Think Progress

I think that I am going to need a couple more flash drives. Hmmm... I seem to have forgotten the conversion table for units of outrage to kilobites.

Methinks the Lady Doth Protest Too Much...

 

During a discussion of Sen. Larry Craig's not-gayness, Political news pundit Tucker Carlson proclaimed his own not-gayness by stating that he had once been solicited is in a men's restroom. He then went and got one of his not-gay friends and two of them went back to the men's room to defend his not-gay honor. Let it be known that Tucker Carlson is very serious about his not-gayness. He wants the public to know that he is very extra-macho. He is so very extra-macho that when he is unable to beat up a homosexual on his own, he will get one of his not-gay friends to beat up the nasty gay person for him. Bask in Tucker Carlson's not-gayness on YouTube!

Here is the latest story from Media Matters:

Tuesday evening, during an on-air discussion about Sen. Larry Craig's arrest, MSNBC host Tucker Carlson recounted a mid-1980s incident in which, according to Carlson, he and a friend slammed a man's head against a bathroom stall because the man had "bothered" Carlson.

While Carlson described hitting the man's head "against the stall," he broke into a broad smile, barely stifling a laugh. At least one of his MSNBC colleagues who were on the air at the same time -- Dan Abrams and Joe Scarborough -- laughed out loud. (Neither man was visible on-screen at that precise moment, but the uproarious laughter that greeted Carlson's comments indicate that at least one of them found it hilarious. Watch the video for yourself.)

Carlson's boast that he and a friend physically assaulted a man who he said "bothered" him quickly drew criticism, and Carlson changed his story the next day. In an email statement Media Matters for America received from an MSNBC spokesperson, Carlson said... Read the rest at Media Matters
