  • OHHHH WALNUTS!: Foreign Policy expert John McCain told reporters at a press avail today that he was concerned about “a couple of steps that the Russian government took in the last several days,” including “reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia.” And this is why we must bomb Persia and its shifty-eyed Sultan.

  1. That’s not how the Russian General Secretary rolls.

  2. Sean O says at 3:29 pm, July 14th, 2008

    To be fair, Czechoslovakia has hinted at a reunion tour for a few years now.

  3. Cicada says at 3:31 pm, July 14th, 2008

    WALNUTS also released a statement warning of the increased nuclear threat from Pangea.

  4. Haha, Russia doesn’t actually have a ‘government’. More like an ‘autocratic mafia’ or kleptocracy. They don’t wage war, but instead engage in international muggings. I weep very, very small tears for the Tsar of All the Putins.

    In re: Czechoslovakia. We’re lucky he didn’t refer to them as the ‘Austro-Hungarian Empire’. Czech, please!

    I think we should give him a break. The campaign trail has been taking its toll, and he’s been mostly focusing his energies on the Ottoman Empire, not the Russian Empire. Picky liberals.

    Torpedo Atlantis! Torpedo! Torpedo! Torpedo!

  7. ManchuCandidate says at 3:38 pm, July 14th, 2008

    I’m surprised that they didn’t call Czech/Slovakia a province of Germany.

  8. Joey Ratz says at 3:40 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Considering how reassuring WALNUTS! is when talking about his field of so-called expertise, he’ll be a hoot once someone makes him speak on things like economics, health, crime or social issues. Stay tuned…

  9. freakishlystrong says at 3:43 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Look out Siam, you’re next!

  10. MoodProcessor says at 3:44 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Preety soon he’ll want to take out Czechoslovakia to get that original Pilsner beer recipe that Budweiser has consitently fucked up since time immemorial. God that shit’s nasty.

    Oh yeah, and so are Wally’s teeth.

  11. Truculent says at 3:44 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Our South African allies will stand with us, but let’s hope East Germany doesn’t put up a fuss.

  12. Doglessliberal says at 3:45 pm, July 14th, 2008

    next up, his announced trips to Rhodesia and Formosa.

  13. 2goats says at 3:45 pm, July 14th, 2008

    And to be further fair, no one can pronounce Medvedev anyway, and his wife is a painted harlot. You kids get off Walnutz lawn!

  14. 4tehlulz says at 3:47 pm, July 14th, 2008

    “We must support the Prague Spring against Soviet interference.”

  15. Doglessliberal says at 3:47 pm, July 14th, 2008

    2goats: AND he hasn’t been able to order CHEAP CIAL$S yet because he is not on the intertubes by himself. So he is cranky.

  16. superfecta says at 3:49 pm, July 14th, 2008

    But what about the situation in Prussia? The nation demands action!

  17. 2goats says at 3:50 pm, July 14th, 2008

    “Psst, Joe. It’s the Shia in Czech and Sunni in Slovakia, right?”

  18. SocialList says at 3:51 pm, July 14th, 2008

    You just know the debates are gonna be comedy gold.

  19. 2goats says at 3:52 pm, July 14th, 2008

    superfecta: that naive Obama would sit down with Bismark without preconditions.

  20. Doglessliberal says at 3:53 pm, July 14th, 2008

    2goats: win!

  21. nbawriter says at 3:54 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Don’t ever play the drinking game Viking with McCain … he will think you’re actual Nords pillaging Iberia.

  22. itgetter says at 3:55 pm, July 14th, 2008

    McCain then went to the post office to send a letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Unfortunately he was too late for the 4:30 autogyro.

  23. DirkLeisure says at 4:00 pm, July 14th, 2008

    When is the media going to call out Obama for his flip-flopping on what to do about the growing British influence in the Oregon Territory? McCain has been clear: 54-40 or Fight!

  24. RuperttheBear says at 4:01 pm, July 14th, 2008

    He and Cindy often spend summers in the Crimea.

  25. jagorev says at 4:02 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Sean O: I’m sure we’ll see Chinese democracy before Czechoslovakia reunites.

  26. SocialList: I am secretly looking forward to the debates for their laff value.

  27. Doglessliberal says at 4:04 pm, July 14th, 2008

    DirkLeisure: why does Obama hate Manifest Destiny?

  28. columnv says at 4:11 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Word is, Rhodesia has a lot of nice land to settle.

  29. Jobbotch says at 4:12 pm, July 14th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: Wait, that one’s actually OK.

  30. RuperttheBear: Believe it or not, Crimea is still Crimea. And it’s a fabulous vacation spot.

  31. RuperttheBear says at 4:15 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Yeah, but it sounds like it shouldn’t exist anymore.

    Like Montenegro.

  32. RuperttheBear says at 4:16 pm, July 14th, 2008

    And I’m kind of douchey today.

  33. Sean O says at 4:18 pm, July 14th, 2008

    jagorev: Axl’s VaporAlbum or actual chinese democracy? or both?

  34. jagorev says at 4:18 pm, July 14th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: Montenegro? THAT’S NOT RACIAL TRANSCENDENCE!!

  35. Quacker says at 4:31 pm, July 14th, 2008

    What about Bohemia. This is so unfair….

  36. gjdodger says at 4:33 pm, July 14th, 2008

    RuperttheBear: Montenegro? Is that Obama’s cousin from Let’s Make a Deal?

  37. WadISay says at 4:35 pm, July 14th, 2008

    This will all get cleared up when McCain gets himself on the internet.

  38. bitchincamaro says at 4:44 pm, July 14th, 2008

    I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he shows up for his audience with the pope in Constantinople. Fucking Walnuts! Hahahahahaha.

  39. itgetter says at 4:59 pm, July 14th, 2008

    WadISay: If he can’t figure out the google, there is apparently a search engine tailored for the elderly. It is called (I shit you not) http://www.cranky.com

    If you’ll notice, the top searches of the day Jane Seymour, sex, and (inexplicably) Thanksgiving recipes.

  40. Doglessliberal says at 5:06 pm, July 14th, 2008

    itgetter: those searches sound like a set up for a really bad dirty joke or truly foul (fowl) porno.

  41. stolichnayaaa says at 5:08 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Let’s be fair, here. Czechoslovakia split in 1993- John McCain was like 58 years old in 1993. He was probably going senile.

  42. madirishman says at 5:13 pm, July 14th, 2008

    jagorev: Are you referring to the long-rumoured Guns & Roses album, or the real thing? In either case, we’ll be drawing Social Security before it happens.

    And will someone PUH-LEEZ duct-tape Walnut’s mouth shut?

  43. itgetter says at 5:29 pm, July 14th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: Sounds intriguing. It might rank slightly above midget porn.

    I also originally misread the day’s #10 search as “retirement massages.”

  44. Slutty_Chola_Cobbler says at 6:13 pm, July 14th, 2008

    In other Walnuts disasterous news, Walnuts did not vote against peace talks with President Mugabe of Rhodesia!!

  45. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:47 am, July 15th, 2008

    Take your pick:

    McCain added “Let no one believe that the United States will not stand with its friends in the Holy Roman Empire against the Mongol Horde.”

    or

    “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.”

  46. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:50 am, July 15th, 2008

    Sean O: I have money on the over, actual Chinese democracy before Axl’s Chinese Democracy.
