Iraq’s parliament just chose a new President who refused to rename Prime Minister Nouri Kamal al-Maliki to a third term. Maliki declared the move unconstitutional and his own State of Law Party pulled support from him. Now his forces are seizing government buildings in Iraq, have closed the airport, and are surrounding the Green Zone.

Iraq is better off with a “President For Life.”

Democracy isn’t exactly their bag.

I have given up on Twitter. I cannot follow tweets and retweets. Nor can I figure out who is tweeting what in a conversation. Instead it is as if I have 100 voices yelling at me from inside my brain.

Just in! Obama located.

Wendall Goler just said Obama doesn’t want to wipe out ISIS because it would weight the Iraq government too much in the Shia direction and make a political solution impossible.

I heard that and almost blew a gasket. This big dope Obama thinks if they all walk across the aisle, Iraq will be all peaceful

Ah geesh, we are in such big trouble.

Did Clown Prince nobama have a good game today on the links? Are his purported “family” enjoying an expensive dinner? Are the beds comfortable and the linens crisp? Is the Clown’s tee time set for tomorrow a good one? Is Reggie there to keep him “company”? That what is important.
