Buster's Cavalcade Of Clowns

Former NBA star and current freak show Dennis Rodman recently travelled to North Korea and hung out with the country's dictator Kim Jong Un.  Upon his return, Rodman pronounced Lil Kim to be a "good guy" and a "friend for life", and said he and Kim will vacation together this summer.  Is it a bro-mance?

Soon thereafter, the very same Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un demonstrated just what sort of a friendly, good guy he is by threatening to "wipe out" a South Korean island and "target" the United States with nuclear weapons.  The first threat is a suicidal possibility.  The second is sheer fantasy.  Kim's most realistic threat is that he will eat cake until he explodes.  

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) treated a mostly empty chamber to a 13 hour old-school filibuster, refusing to yield the floor until President Obama answered Paul's burning question:  Would our government use drones to kill our own citizens without capture and trial?  After letting Paul make an ass of himself and waste every one's time, AG Eric Holder finally sent him a written answer:  "No."  Big surprise, huh?  Now, if Rand Paul were President . . . oh, puh-leeze, I'm LOL so hard I'm gonna wet myself! 

Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a corrupt little weasel if ever there was one, claims that the United States has sold him out and is actually in cahoots with the Taliban.  Selling out Karzai isn't a bad idea, but the rest of it is bullshit.  In any event, Uncle Sam is on his way out and Karzai will soon be left to his own devices with the local warlords.  Good luck, Hamid.

And let's not forget former Vice Presidential candidate and supposed finance wonk, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis).  Paulie Smallnuts is back with his latest miracle budget proposal, which is based on the dual assumptions of repealing Obamacare and voucherizing Medicare.  I don't think I've ever before quoted Fox News in a positive light, but "that's not going to happen."
