Briefly

Just because you’re a diplomat doesn’t mean you’re smart: Wow, is this the stupidest diplomatic incident ever, or what? A Qatari diplomat decided that the rules don’t apply to him, so he sneaked a smoke in an airplane bathroom, and then joked to the Air Marshalls who sat with him the rest of the flight that he was just trying to light his shoes. What. An. Asshole. Expel him, please.

Giving ourselves enough rope: You know, letting in members of the Muslim Brotherhood, no matter how often they declaim that they want a peaceful turn to Islamic rule, is just another way of aiding their attempts. And the New York Times hagiography simply adds luster to the Islamists. Say, remember when the Times was publishing op-eds by Hamas leaders who insisted they wanted what the West wants? Democracy, freedom, human rights? Hey, they lied. You think maybe Tariq Ramadan may be lying, too?

Shyeah.

Bob McDonnell, dimwit: You know, proclaiming April “Confederate History Month” is stupid. Putting aside the offense to Americans who think that, gee, the Civil War was about slavery, not states’ rights, it’s not like there isn’t an entire industry about the Civil War. It’s not like there was this long video series on PBS. It’s not like you can’t go any-frikkin’-where in Virginia without finding a Civil War site. It’s not like people are going to forget that Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy. But at least he got enough pressure on him to mention slavery in the revised proclamation. Sorry, but right now, I’m regretting my vote for McDonnell. I voted for fiscal responsibility, not southern history stupidity. Dudes. The war is over. You lost. Get over it.

    The Qatari dip should be expelled… right out the door of the airplane at about 35,000 feet, somewhere above the Atlantic Ocean.

    Make sure he has a cigarette to enjoy on the way down.
