This reads like if Hunter S. Thompson, Chomsky, and a can of Dinty Moore had a nervous breakdown together. (Just another Sunday).

Yes, it’s all ridiculous.

But also, yes, Iran has the strategic and historical right to patrol its own waters, and yes, Americans will absolutely rally around war based on a Foxified Mad Libs of bad intel, pork panic, and loose biblical justification.

When satire is this unhinged and still more coherent than most political/world news coverage, that says everything.

We laughed. We winced. We sighed.

And we’re still waiting for someone appointed by Trump to remember how to spell “oversight.”

the bad news is that actual docs are now not certain that fecal transplants are as great as we once thought, The good news is I'm sure you can get RFK Jr to promote it online and become rich enough to worry that your hams might not make it to Iran.

I can only imagine the horror of what would happen if that tanker were to blow up and all of that would get into the local ecosystem. Not good.
