Things That Powerful, Wealthy, Intelligent Countries DON’T WORRY ABOUT

politicalprof:

• The name of the Gulf of Mexico
• Freedom Fries
• Freedom Toast
• The sexual orientation, gender, race, ethnicity or creed of people who want to serve the nation
• Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz for 10 or 15 minutes, which is about as long as they can do it

I’m sure there’s a lot more. But you get my point.

But that Gulf of Mexico thing was a satirical ploy to exploit what a waste of time most of the state’s bills have been since the tea party invaded. It’s a Poe/Colbert kind of moment.
