Fluggenock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Fortune Cookie"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3499
Y'ever get Chinese carry-out and play that stupid game with the
fortune cookies where you scribble the phrase "in bed" at the end of
the banal faux-Confucian "fortune" in a childish effort to make it
sound "dirty" somehow?
Oh, c'mon; I know y'all have done it. I've done it a bunch — and that
kind of puerile, low-brow joke seems a fitting analogy to portray the
arrogance, hubris, hypocrisy, belligerence, recklessness and
straight-up stupidity of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Provoke
World War III If It's The Last Goddamn Thing I Ever Do Tour this week.
It's as if her staff went out of their way to script the most irksome,
provocative, sabre-rattling batshit takes they could possibly come up
with for her, as if they just followed her around with an mp3 recorder
and transcribed everything the old bat queefed out.
The really sad thing about Pelosi, Blinken, Biden and their ilk,
though, is that they really, honestly think they're the greatest
goddamn thing on two legs. They really do think people are impressed
with this horseshit.
Still, as an American, I have to appreciate the Speaker keeping me
briefed in on who "America" is standing with right now. Between
standing with Israel, the Uyghurs, the Ukraine, and now Taiwan, it's
looking like this "American" is booked pretty solid these days.
