Neoconservatism Explained




Posted at 2:33 by Brad

So I’m watching a rerun of this morning’s Meet the Press. Tim Russert just asked Newt Gingrich if the current situation in Iraq limits our military options with Iran and North Korea. Gingrich responded by saying, “Only in our minds.”

What. A. Nutter.

    Did you catch the moment where he said the proof that we’re in the midst of the Third World War was … the insane clown posse of wannabe terrorists in Miami?

    Wow. I mean, wow.

    Wait…

    Juggalos = WWIII?

    So am I somehow responsible for the Iraq war, seeing as I’ve been to ICP concerts? I’ve never gone in makeup or anything, but they do put on a hell of a show.

    Aaaaaaand, I think that sound may be me losing the ha’penny’s worth of credibility I might have had around here.

    A mind can be used to perceive reality.

    I know — total freakout, man.

    The fact is that REO Speedwagon was, and is, the worst band in the entire universe.

    As evidence, I present these lyrics:

    Heard it from a friend who
    Heard it from a friend who
    Heard it from another you been messin around
    They say you got a boy friend
    Youre out late every weekend
    Theyre talkin about you and its bringin me down

    But I know the neighborhood
    And talk is cheap when the story is good
    And the tales grow taller on down the line
    But Im telling you, babe
    That I dont think its true, babe
    And even if it is keep this in mind

    {refrain}

    You take it on the run baby
    If thats the way you want it baby
    Then I dont want you around
    I dont believe it
    Not for a minute
    Youre under the gun so you take it on the run

    Youre thinking up your white lies
    Youre putting on your bedroom eyes
    You say youre coming home but you wont say when
    But I can feel it coming
    If you leave tonight keep running
    And you need never look back again

    {refrain x 3}

    Heard it from a friend who
    Heard it from a friend who
    Heard it from another you been messin around

    Can you disagree with me, moonbats? Sadly, no!

    Bradrocket. Now I’m worried. Yeah, I watched it. But I’m old and I’ve lived and not having a life kind of works for me. Dood, you’re young, you have so much to live for, and you’re watching Timmah? Sure, I’m proud of you, but I’m kind of surprised. There’s girls, drugs, likker and, oh yeah, girls. You’ve GOT to get out more….

    “Man, you need to get some hash. You can’t go wrong with hash.” -Newt Gingrich
    “Oh yes it can, and quickly, and this whole room will suffer the consequences.” -Bradrocket
    “You’re out there man, in the ether!” -Newt
    “Yes, well, I’m just going to turn back, over here, to my table…” -Brad

    I keep wondering when China’s going to decide that America’s military is sufficiently overstretched, and then invade Taiwan.

    It’s only in your mind.

    I saw that! I was utterly amazed that Russert and/or Biden didn’t just reflexively reach out and bitch slap him before they could stop themselves. Then again… we’re talking about Russert and Biden.
