Troops from Iran are fighting ISIL. Not exactly what would be called mortal enemies. Maybe dare I say allies.

Well, someone has to be, because theyā€™re obviously incapable of feeling anything even remotely resembling embarrassment or shame.

"Iā€™m embarrassed for them. For them to address a letter to the Ayatollah

ā€œTo crawlā€ also works if you feel like cutting them a little slack by not using the word ā€œletterā€ but otherwise, ā€œBravissimo, Mr. P!ā€

Mr. Obamaā€™s entire tone, demeanor and posture is similar that of a visitor to the home of the parent of a bratty five-year old.

So, they finally figured out how to embarrass him after all these years of trying: by getting him to feel embarrassed on their behalf.

On Friday, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who signed the letter, said he didnā€™t regret the content of the letter but suggested sending it to Iranian leaders may not have been the best strategy.

Then whom should it have been sent to, Ron???

Perhaps you should resign from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

Johnsonā€™s saying,

ā€™ I agree with the CONTENT of this letter
that gets international treaty law WRONG
notwithstanding the WRONGNESS of its content is rendered all the more embarrassing by the fact that itā€™s not just signed by me but signed by in total 47 adult elected officials of my political party and Congressional caucus, each and every one of whom has, as part of the job, the responsibility of conducting at least some basic inquiry and checking into the authority and powers of the various branches of the federal government and the chambers of Congress;

but in an effort to show you Iā€™m smarter than those other 46 stupid bozos who signed this letter,
I want it understood that I disagree with
the letter being ā€œSENTā€.

This I make clear even tho technically, as a ā€œopen letterā€, it need not have been sent, AND despite that it actually NEVER WAS ā€œsentā€ to anyone, including not to the person to whom itā€™s addressed, the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, or indeed to any in the Iranian government.

Iā€™m making this statement and these clarifications because I want to say something that disassociates me from all the Stoopid inherent in this stunt ā€“
even tho what Iā€™m actually doing is doubling down on the most wrong and therefore arguably most stoopid part,
and even tho I am carving out just for myself a special distinction of stupidity on it ā€˜shouldnā€™t have been sentā€™,
no matter how anyone attempts to interpret this.

I hope thatā€™s all clear. ā€™

The Vulcan Nerve Pinch ALWAYS had a musical component to it (to stoke it up)ā€¦

There would be two notes, played chromatically, with the first note hgher than the secondā€¦

For effect, the pinchee might have a zonked-out expression on his face when Spock Did His Thing. The cat who was the most dramatic pinchee, in my opinion, was the African American actor, William Marshall, who played a computer expert whose computer was a little TOO good. Spock got him.
