ebonlockSadly, No! brings us what has to be the most bug-fuck psychotic screed purporting to be sound, rational foreign policy advice ever typed between bouts of electroshock therapy:
Adam Yoshida's Masterpiece, "Nuke Iran"
Favorite line:
"Of course, once the decision to use nuclear weapons in any capacity has been taken, there’s no real reason to limit their use."
I keep seeing Adam in black and white astride a nuclear bomb, cowboy hat in one hand screaming, "Yeeeeehaaa! YEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAWWW!" I get the feeling this poor, sick individual saw Dr. Strangelove and thought it was a gripping drama about men with "the right stuff" making the tough choices...a utopian vision of the future.
General "Buck" Turgidson: Mr. President, we are rapidly approaching a moment of truth both for ourselves as human beings and for the life of our nation. Now, truth is not always a pleasant thing. But it is necessary now to make a choice, to choose between two admittedly regrettable, but nevertheless *distinguishable*, postwar environments: one where you got twenty million people killed, and the other where you got a hundred and fifty million people killed.
President Merkin Muffley: You're talking about mass murder, General, not war!
General "Buck" Turgidson: Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.
I think one of the commentors sums it up best with:
It took him two months to write this because his keepers kept retightening the bindings of his straitjacket and knocking the crayon out from between his toes.
