Yes, Jon Swift is still a genius

I love this guy:

Let this be a lesson to other dictators around the world, from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran to Kim Jong-il in North Korea, that the United States is a very patient country and if it takes us 50 years to get them out of power, we will not waver. In fact, as John McCain as made it clear to the insurgents in Iraq, we don’t mind sticking around there for a 100 years if it takes that long.

Read the whole thing.

Our brilliant strategy of letting the Earth continue to revolve around the sun is really paying off now! Watch out, you wacky dictators!

 
 

The inevitability of time ensures our inevitable victory! Until, y’know, we inevitably fall apart as a country. Then it’s a freak anomaly because our empire is impossible to topple.

 
 

That Guardian article he linked to was teh shit.

Knowing his fascination for scuba-diving off the coast of Cuba, the CIA at one time invested in a large volume of Caribbean molluscs. The idea was to find a shell big enough to contain a lethal quantity of explosives, which would then be painted in colours lurid and bright enough to attract Castro’s attention when he was underwater. […] Another aborted plot related to Castro’s underwater activities was for a diving-suit to be prepared for him that would be infected with a fungus that would cause a chronic and debilitating skin disease.

Dr. Evil works for the CIA?

Meanwhile, jokes about Castro’s apparent indestructibility have become commonplace in Cuba. One, recounted in the New Yorker this week, tells of him being given a present of a Galapagos turtle. Castro declines it after he learns that it is likely to live only 100 years. “That’s the problem with pets,” he says. “You get attached to them and then they die on you”.

The Cuban people clearly don’t understand humor. You are supposed to turn the tables on the mighty and powerful by showing that, despite all of their money and brute strength, the little guy is still laughing at them. I mean, this joke suggests that… oh wait, I just got it.

Heretic! You’ll pay for your science-disseminating ways.

 
 

The sun won’t become a white dwarf for at least a billion years. Time is on our side.

 
 

that the United States is a very patient country

See: our recent victory over Castro. Loser!

Where is the Spanish Inquisition when you need them? I expect them here posthaste!

 
 

In the future the USA won’t have to wait cuz it will develop a super duper dictator age accelerator powered by nanohamsters.

 
 

Um, if this was our brilliant strategy for Cuba, why didn’t we use it on Saddam too?

I mean, in another fifty years he’d be gone for sure…

mikey

Dude, they only come when you don’t expect them.

And pedestrian gets the spike!

 
 

Yeah, it was right there, I had to take it.

 
 

Yes, Jon Swift is indeed one smart read.

 
 

F00LZ!!!

Don’t you realize what this means?

The treacherous English are simply biding their time!

 
 

I busted out laughing right at the title.

Ding, ding, ding! Get that man a kewpie doll.

 
 

The thing that makes me giggle every single time he posts something over there is the fact that there will be people of both political stripes who will completely miss the point of the post and say something, in all seriousness, like “I agree with your point of view 100%” or “You are a fucking fascist and I cannot believe that you could be so mean”.

His post on Jamie Leigh Jones has some classic comments along this line.

 
 

I think this is the strategy with regard to Osama: sooner or later he will die of old age, and on that day justice will finally have been served.
This is disturbingly similar to Osama’s plan to ensure the death of everyone in the United States – just wait, and one at a time, they’ll die…

That was amazing. She’s a friend of mine on Facebook and had a good laugh about some of the folks on there.
