And This Passes For Leadership
Senator Michelle?
Michelle is in a pout. In a developing story, it seems he's decided to punish the country by not running for the senate. Oh, dang. To not allow all that supreme betterment to rule us mere commoners is just unfair. How come you don't want to run, Mike? Well, he says, it's because not enough congressional democrats supported his wonderful, altruistic, healthy school lunch menu mandate, er, I mean program. It was bad enough that the kids upon which this idiotic menu was thrust - unschooled as they are as to what's good for them - know what they like. And they emphatically didn't like Mike's school lunch menus. Neither did parents, nor teachers, nor the school administrators. Kids didn't eat their crappy lunches and went hungry the rest of the day, but what's worse is the waste! Alley cats and dumpster divers wouldn't touch it either. Now the program is a colossal failure, all those perfect, healthy meals are landfill compost. But Mike's democrat cronies should have fallen in line and supported Mike's Big Lunch if they know what's good for them. So for lack of Big Lunch support, now we lose a perfect senate candidate. Just our bad luck.

| US Tomahawk shipboard launch |
No Wars, War!
In an update to our relentless pursuit to decimate - I mean eliminate - ISIS, it comes to our attention that in the first week of the war, the US alone has spent a billion dollars. Ain't war hell? Those Tomahawk cruise missiles are a really cool weapon - they can reach out and touch someone from thousands of miles away - but they cost in excess of a million dollars each. And we've deployed a bunch of them, in part because they're effective, but also because we can hit from afar. That's they way the Kenyan does business. Not eye-to-eye, not mano a mano. Nope, none of that dirty, house-to-house combat that gets people killed, like the way Bush did it. And besides, ISIS, or ISIL, or just plain ol' IS is a just a JV team, right? They pose no threat, to us anyway, so let's just bomb them for a couple of weeks until we get the uptick in Democrat voter interest before the mid term elections. The Senate is up for grabs, so, yeah, that should do it.

| What Does It Say? |
The real problem in this Iraq/ISIS mess is identifying the actual enemy. Oh, sure it's ISIS, but we're arming Syrian "rebels," who aren't interested in US interests. Our interest in the region is stability, and we put up with Netanyahu and Assad in furtherance of those interests. Our hastily cobbled coalition is so inept, we even supply the bad guys. But if we learn nothing, we should learn that when we arm and train insurgents, who are fighting other insurgents, those "friends" are more than likely to engage the US at some point later. Think al Qeada in Saudi Arabia, think the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan. And our engagement in this conflict is destined to help our enemies more than ourselves, as ISIS's true goal is to overthrow Assad in Syria, and install a caliphate in Iraq and elsewhere across the Middle East. Bush was right; we still needed grounds troops in Iraq, because Iraqis aren't capable of maintaining stability in the region. But our fearless leader, the Kenyan, can't be bothered to read his daily intelligence reports or attend intelligence briefings, lest he actually make an informed decision that furthers US interest, rather than democratic lust for congressional power. That's our foreign policy.
