About two weeks ago, Smitty -- a constitutional scholar who is co-blogger at my personal blog -- called me to suggest an idea that seemed insane. Which meant, of course, that I loved it.
As a student, Smitty had sometimes dabbled as an amateur playwright, and now proposed a satire. Seizing on the so-called "Birther" conspiracy theory of President Obama's allegedly unproven American nativity, Smitty explained his idea to write a spoof on Sophocles' classic tragedy, Oedipus Rex.
By one of those grandly ironic cosmic coincidences -- which progressive paranoiacs would attribute to "an orchestrated movement" -- the first scene of OediPOTUS Wrecks was scheduled for publication at noon Monday, and scarcely 12 hours later, the liberally lamented Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Chappaquiddick) departed this vale of tears. Thus, breaking news related rather tragically to a plot device of Smitty's farce, which involves a metaphorical allusion to the ancestry of OediPOTUS as just another liberal Democrat.
Today, Smitty published the fifth and final scene of OediPOTUS Wrecks, which includes this diabolic dialogue, spoken by the mysterious Rosor:
OediPOTUS, you ignorant slut. You have managed to destroy everything. One derives a foolproof plan; the universe produces a bigger fool.
It's a happy ending. Evil triumphs over evil, and Joe Bi . . . er, Folderol ascends to the throne.
Read the whole thing. The talented Smitty is already hard at work on his Beckett-inspired send-up of the "stimulus" economic absurdity, Waiting For O-Dough. And you probably think I'm kidding . . .

A progressive, a conservative blogger and Ted Kennedy walk into a bar:
"What'll you have?"; asks the barkeep.
"Alcohol is bad for you! Give me a bottle of domestic water" says the Progressive.
"Alcohol is bad for you, I'll have scotch on the rocks." says Ted.
"Ted Kennedy is bad for alcohol and I'm glad he's dead" says the blogger.

Afghanistan is a Muslim country, and it's for them to decide whether they want fundamentalist Islamic laws and means of enforcement, or whether they want a more liberal society. It's certainly not for western Christian governments to impose their ideas of society by force, We cant force them to leave Afghanistan for American, who want fug them
