I was sound asleep when the phone rang and so I cannot be absolutely sure the conversation was not a dream,but it seemed real enough.

“Hello,...[m]y name is Mr. Mensch,..president of the Parodists of the World, Professional comedy writers,and we want to engage you in a suit against the administration for tortious interference with our livelihood.”.....

He then launched into a litany of grievances against the administration......[SNIP].......

........“Sounds like a bad joke..,”I replied. “With the world’s attention focused on Moslem extremists. New jihadi groups showing up all through Europe,and Palestinians continuing to attack our ally Israel and we train and arm Palestinian guards to protect us in Jerusalem in violation of our agreement with Israel?...

....By this time Mensch was on a roll.

“The White House spokesman,Josh Earnest is tripping over his own tongue trying not to say the magic words ’Moslem extremist’. Listen to this circumlocution of his:'We want to describe exactly what happened.These are individuals who carried out an act of terrorism.And they later tried to justify that act of terrorism by invoking the religion of Islam and their own deviant view of it.’”

“Then there’s the nonsensical negotiations with Iran,”I interjected.

Mensch sputtered,"Thursday Obama announced he would not tighten sanctions on Iran which is violating the sanctions already in place because if we tighten the reins it will only drive them to war. Think about that!If we impose stricter sanctions on them,they’ll go to war,and if we don’t,they’ll go to war with nuclear weapons.”...

“ Obama‘s leaving us nothing to parody.We can’t make a living in comedy....

Take the Keystone Pipeline-I mean it should be clear to everyone that we are hurting Iran and Russia financially each time we and others increase the supply of gas and oil on the world market and we need jobs badly,so why is he still sitting on this?....[SNIP]....

Like someone pointed out on Rush the other day, terrorists are not islamic when they murder people, but they immediately convert to Islam once they’re arrested and demand special religious treatment behind bars.

Who would have thunk that the voting public would put a cretin like this in office not only once, but TWICE.

Who would have thunk that the voting public would put a cretin like this in office not only once, but TWICE.

Because the republican nominating process is compromised with cross-over voting and we aren't allowed to nominate a conservative?
