Whew! This blogger needs to get a grip on reality and stop the Death Squad fantasy for dealing with the Morons. Sooooo, here is this blog's poet-in-residence — The Deadline Poet (Calvin Trillin) — on the Iranian nuclear crisis. Of course, The Geezer (R-AZ) during the 2008 election was captured at a rally singing his rendition of "Barbara Ann" by The Beach Boys: "Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran..." The irony here is The Geezer has the temerity to label the 4 Horsemen of the Moron Apocalypse: "Wacko Birds." That's the wacko pot callin' out the wacko kettle; they're all totally wacko! If this is (fair & balanced) irrationality, so be it.

Iran Comes To The Table
By The Deadline Poet (Calvin Trillin)
Tag Cloud of the following piece of writing
So how about the folks who wrote
That sanctions never work, just force?
That's very simple: now they write,
“The sanctions did their job, of course.” Ω
