Tin Soldiers and Obie's Coming...

Here's a nice picture of events in Tegucigalpa, Honduras I ripped from Weasel Zippers via Ace:

That's the face of democracy in action from our brothers to the south. Not only are the Honduran Supreme Court, Congress, and armed forces unanimously opposed to the mad power grab by the fat fellow who fancies himself the next Hugo Chavez, so, apparently, are the populace.

In fact, the only individuals in favor of allowing the supraconstitutional bastard Zelaya to stomp upon the constitution of the nation of Honduras and enthrone himself for a second term are the Castro boys, Chavez, and Barack Obama.

That's pretty thin and shitty company to keep, and what even the most mellow amongst us would call "being on the wrong side of history".

Is there anything Barack Obama touches that he does not get wrong? From the fawning obeisance to the mad mullahs of Persia to this Communist power grabber in Honduras, Barack is 100% on the wrong side of the table. Every fucking time.

By God, Obama is so consistently wrong on everything, every day, I have a new rule of thumb:

If Obama and Dr. Smith from Lost In Space are for it, I'm agin it, godammit.

And fret not: by my reckoning the Venn diagram of Obama vs. Dr. Smith appears to be two completely inclusive circles, one nesting inside t'other.

Look, young Will! A coup d'etat! Hold me!

As an unnecessary but enjoyable aside, in 1981 my cousin and I bought a piece of shit ski boat of seafoam green for four hundred dollars, with a plywood floor, and no cowling cover. I christened it Danger, Will Robinson!, and said name was graced upon the transom of that boat for the entire three weeks of its existence, before it tragically sank in a mild rainstorm.

All by way of saying I know my Dr. Smith.
