The Gorgon Cometh: Every snake in her bonnet hisses for peace
"She's a global celebrity, but can Secretary Clinton make a more peaceful world?"
Obama was just lecturing the Chinese about freedom of speech.
Free speech. It's our secret ingredient--our MSG. We sprinkle it in the inanities and lies to give them flavor.
The global celebrity pictured above, for instance, once was wont to say she would "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel. She loudly advocated invading Iraq and Afghanistan. She consistently demands increased war spending. She has never met a war she didn't like. In photo-ops from war zones, she can be seen looking like a giddy 60-something cheerleader with her frightening eyes a-twinkle, a war tourist jazzing her career with a little glamorous dust.
Can she make a more peaceful world? Depends. Is she willing to resign, admit her every foreign policy stance has been farcically destructive to U.S. interests not to mention to innocent lives abroad, and confine herself to a future of shrieking on political chat shows? How about a plea bargain--she walks, but we let her keep the snakes.

Ha ha as usual, Richard, you are dead on and hilarious to boot. I think the only thing worse than sending in Hillary would be sending in Biden, but only because he'd dislocate both hips trying to stick both his feet in his mouth at the same time.
In the meantime the president is wetting himself before such luminaries as King Hussein and the Emperor of Japan, then posturing as though some hardcore commies trying to keep 1.3 billion people in line actually care what he thinks about the right way to do things when you are a nice guy running a country and stuff.
It appears as though someone has let the children into the playroom where they kept the life-sized replica of Washington DC. Now after some rehearsals they are presenting "We Lead The Free World" in four acts:
1) Please Like Us
2) You Aren't Playing Nice
3) Let Us Show You How To Play Nice, K?
4) You Really Should Be Like Us (or else)
The compliant state-run drive-by media breathlessly report their every move. It's almost as though a huge production is being put on for our benefit, the media serving as narrarator, interpreting the goings on so that we won't be tempted to think for ourselves. They know how important suspended disbelief is in telling a story, after all.
Bravo on taking up that that torch Carlin laid down, Richard!
Hey, at least we may have Mayweather vs Pacquaio to look forward to, eh?
Great post, Richard. Great comment, Louis. I wish you guys were running the State Department. (Why is it called that, anyway?)
The cover of "Time" is comedic! The question about bringing about global peace assumes the goal of our government is to promote peace; obviously, it isn't.
And the question I always have about our nation's "top diplomat," is: Has she ever lived overseas? Does she speak even one foreign language?
If not, she's no diplomat. And if she isn't, then what is she, exactly, and how did she get her current job?
