Fluggenock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Fortune Cookie"


"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.
