Tragic Waste

You can’t parody such times as these.

A few days ago I was out walking with my dog (whose innocent name I won’t sully by mentioning in such a foul and murderous context as politics) when it struck me that, for a lark, and since the two entities in question can’t seem to muster any actual disagreement with one another, I ought to publicly propose that Obama select as his running mate John McCain.

Then he went and did.

… the batshit insane notion of incorporating the former Soviet Socialist Republic of Georgia into NATO never panned out?

Because guess what? If it had, you’d be at war with Russia now.

Russian troops on the move

Russia, in case you’ve missed the last century somehow, has strategic thermonuclear weapons and the means to deliver them.

Feel better now?

(Of all things Wikipedia has pretty good ongoing coverage of the war.  Hat tip to Antiwar.com for alerting me to the fact.)
