Let’s Bomb Moe, it’s easier than fixing our house

Ten reasons the President decided to bomb Moe:

1. Bombs for Moe, austerity for the US middle class. Whatever it costs in cash for another war, budget cutting for domestic programs that benefit working Americans. That’s because bombing Moe comes out of the special overflowing cash sack for war. It’s the right set of priorities and how we win the future.

2. Uncle Sam prepares for war on Moe and and clears the banksters to start paying dividends again. That’s great for the stock market even though maybe not for you. And that’s what’s important. It’s morning in America.

3. Weapons manufacturers will get new order for cruise missiles and JDAMs used up on Moe. It might mean a few bonuses for arms-making CEO’s.

4. The mainstream media will be able to debate whether or not the military is overstretched or tired when going into action against Moe, erasing any stupid ideas about cutting its budget.

5. Bombing Moe provides a distraction from the idea that if we’re going to do it to him maybe we ought to be doing it to the rotten people running Bahrain and Yemen, too.

6. Moe is conveniently murderous, mean, crazy and really not very photogenic. But unlike other really murderous, mean, crazy and not very photogenic despots in other countries, he’s on television all the time right now.

7. Bombing Moe affords an opportunity for all the retired military men involved in the arms manufacturing industry to get back on television as talking head experts. They can talk about all the great gear we’re going to use on Moe. And all the feeble stuff he has on defense.

8. Bombing Moe makes it easier for the President to ignore Ed on MSNBC’s Ed Show asking why our leader isn’t in Wisconsin or Michigan with his base. “I have to bomb Moe, first,” thinks the President. “That takes time.”

9. Bombing Moe is a heckuva lot easier than doing something about the one in six working Americans who are unemployed or underemployed. Plus bombing in a foreign country is a lot more watchable on television than the broken lives of unemployed Americans.

10. All the serious people in DC and northern Virginia, plus the oil companies, are for bombing Moe.

Bonus reason:

11. It is important for every President to show he has balls by starting his own unique war. Bombing Moe does that for Mr. Obama.

Once upon a time there was a hyterical song from the Reagan era, “Libyan Hit Squad,” by Tongue Avulsion.

“We’re the Libyan hit squad, Moe Ghadafi is our boss!”

It’s over fast. Listen for the last line on Nancy Reagan. Naughty.
