Man! Dude! Session #197

(M)an: Dude! Chelsea Elizabeth Manning, aka Bradley Edward Manning, and Edward Snowden knew what President Obama has stated clearly again and again, that there are legitimate ways to bring forth evidence of abuse by government instead of violating espionage acts in place and putting American lives at risk.

(D)ude: Man! Manning and Snowden deliberately came across as reality superheroes, until the minimum eight-year sentencing for Manning and displacement to Russia for Snowden. In fact, I still think the Republicans made false promises to the two blockheads, including pardons for their actions and maybe even securing book deals in the process. I think Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are still very active self-serving misanthropes. I think the menagerie of animals on the Rumsfeld and Cheney estates are prone to being betrayed by their owners, hence, very bitingly bad.

M: Dude! President Putin wants the UN to approve of intervening in Syria, without which he has stated he will interpret the United States’ involvement as an act of aggression. Again, he wants the UN to prove beyond doubt that there were chemical weapons involved and that Assad’s Regime was the responsible agitator.

D: Man! The French are on board with President Obama’s proposal, Prime Minister Ayrault and President Hollande willing to work to bring together a coalition of supporters for the United States. Even  John Boehner and Eric Cantor are on board with President Obama. However, the salacious senators from Arizona and Kentucky nut Rand Paul give me the creeps. I just hope they do not disclose the contents and discussions from the private meeting held today at the Department of Defense with Secretaries Kerry and Hagel and General Dempsey.  

M: Dude! Senator from Kentucky Rand Paul drank a lot of water yesterday at the televised committee hearing concerning intervening in the Syrian conflict. He used words like theatre and conjecturing because he absolutely lives for the opportunities to hear himself talk, whether in committee meetings or the floor of the House of Representatives. Senator Rand Paul is vainer than a rooster, and he’s got the most unkempt perm than any of the GOP members in Congress.

D: Man! Senator John McCain from Arizona and his colleague from the same state as he, Senator Jeff Flake, must have drank from the same special water made available to the Republican committee members, laced with perhaps an ingredient that makes one act mysteriously asinine. Does doing the same thing over and over again with the exact same result in the end constitute insanity?

M: Dude! I get what you’re trying to say. Yeah. Why?

D: Man! Senator Flake’s remarks to Kerry, Hagel, and Dempsey were brimming with wicked smiles and outright laughter at times when such callousness was uncalled for if not forbidden! How could Arizona State Senator Jeff Flake muster the indecency to smile and laugh in such times of distress internationally? How can he laugh while talking about the deadly forces at work in Syria and the 2 million refugees migrating towards open borders of countries already feeling the financial strain of their goodwill?

M: Dude! It’s a testament, Senator Flake’s laughter, to the heartlessness of the Republican GOP!

D: Man! And going over to the other senator from Arizona, John McCain; did you notice how berserk he was during his allotted time to question Kerry, Hagel, and Dempsey?

M: Dude! Senator John McCain was quoting the Associated Press and the Wall Street Journal as official sources and inappropriately demanding yes or no answers to clearly open-ended questions!

D: Man! Even I know that the inquirer, to get a clear-cut yes or no answer, utilizes closed-ended questions! I still remember the jingle involving the OEQs and the CEQs!

M: Dude! What was that again?

D: Man! English! Clearly, Senator McCain has either lost his ability or never learned the basics of sentence structures and grammatical cohesiveness!

M: Dude! If you really want to know the truth, the McCain Curse is not age related. Look at the decline in Cindy McCain and their daughter Meghan McCain.   

D: Man! What was that Sermon on the Mount term; pearls of swine?

M: Dude! I totally get it! The term is “pearls before swine” and applies brilliantly to the dynamics between the Congressional Republicans!

D: Man! Pearls before swine is it? But how so?

M: Dude! Jesus spoke, according to the Book of Matthew, quote unquote Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

D: Man! So we should not, according to Jesus, place what is of value in front of those who we know are going to reject whatever it is we say or suggest?

M: Dude! And about those people who reject, just remember that they will curtail or outright sabotage whatever you offer!

D: Man! If Jesus said that, then on what grounds did Bertrand Russell insist Why I am Not a Christian?

M: Dude! I still think Senator John McCain would have interrogated Jesus much the same way he insisted answers to questions that could not possibly be resolved with a simple yes or no response!

D: Man! Have you ever seen a giraffe smile into a camera?

M: Dude! No? But, seriously, this meeting at the Department of Defense today, I just hope Rand Paul doesn’t sneeze out the specifics discussed!

D: Man! The truth is irritating to Rand Paul so much so that he doesn’t care to even acknowledge anything past the publication of The Federalist Papers!
