The Great Appeaser

I was gone for the weekend and wasn't anywhere near a computer while gone. Apparently, I missed quite a bit of $#*%.

It's almost not worth playing the,"If Bush had done that," game with the left because that's who they are and that's what they do: they can't exist without double standards. But if Bush had taken a presidential motorcade to get ice cream with his girls while Iran was erupting and young girls were being shot in the streets, lefties would have raised unholy hell.

But remember, kids, we don't want to impose our ideals on any country. Especially not when a country has so many of its citizens crying out for freedom and democracy. Not when that country poses a grave threat to the security of its neighbors and the security of our own country, and seeing a change in regimes could only be beneficial to the ideas of security and peace. No, no, no, you can't impose your ideals on them, especially not when the matter at hand is whether to get sprinkles or hot fudge on your dessert.

If I ever have to listen to someone spout off about W. and "The Pet Goat" after this, they're going to be eating their soup through a straw.

Also, our wise, benevolent Supreme Leader apparently also addressed fathers this weekend on the kinds of fathers they should be. Pretty smug advice coming from someone who views children as choices or "mistakes". I thought this was a good response to Barry's heartfelt admonishment.

So in our honor of our all-knowing, all-feeling Ruler, I came up with this little ditty. All due apologies to the Platters and the real version of this tune, which is one of the all-time greats.


Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Making sure I say the right things
Carefully chosen words
Apologies will be heard
Til my praises are all that they sing

Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Making sure not to upset the cart
Won’t take a stand against Iran
I’ve made waffling into an art

Too real are my delusions of self grandeur
Too real that I want to be crowned king of the world

Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Looking at others with my nose in the air
I’ll do what I can to offend allies
And with enemies I’ll kiss their derriere
Making sure America’s fair

Too real are my delusions of self grandeur
Too real that I want to be crowned king of the world

Oh yes, I’m the great appeaser
Looking at others with my nose in the air
I’ll do what I can to offend allies
And with enemies I’ll kiss their derriere
Making sure America’s fair
