The Week Everything Fell Apart Again

by Sara Benincasa  5:58 pm June 25, 2010

America's new Frank Rich.It’s Friday, I’m in love (with Barry Soetoro!). Let’s celebrate the end of another week in which two unwinnable wars continued unabated and Asian schoolchildren are still smarter than your bloated autism-chic grease-coated offspring will ever be! I’m buying a round of IEDs for all y’all up in this par-tay, and you know what that means: SAKE BOMBS! Woot woot! Woot woot!

This week was fucking rad. Remember when President Obama tore off Stanley McChrystal’s entire epidermis because Stan was acting like a little bitch and telling mean jokes to his Army boyfriends? Now Rahm Emanuel wears that skin, in the shower at the gym, where he is waiting to be Jew-Raptured to the Heaven that is Chicago mayoralty.

Another great happening occurred when Tony Hayward’s Roomba bumped into Underwater Oileyjafjallajokull and made it explode harder. BP swore it would fix the thing, but before it capped that ass there were like eighteen bajillion gallons of crude vomited back into the sea. Even though Tony is no longer the head douche in charge of saying terrible things to Gulf-area humans, many ex-subsistence-shrimpers would like to cut his dick off, which the New York Times says is maybe not such a bad thing!

Fol-de-rol, and and so it goes, another week gone by and nary an Osama found. Afghanistan, the Good War ™, is somehow now even more of a scrumblybumblyfuck than The Iraq, so our nation’s media says. If this is a true lie, why has Kathryn Bigelow not made a sun-washed, tensely paced film about the erotic bomb dismantlers of Kabul? Also, Obama’s eyes continue to shine with the promise of a new tomorrow, so I am hopeful that this will all be over by Chanu-mass.

Have a lovely weekend, Wonketteers. I’m spending my weekend in Real America, the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Actually, I’m headed to the People’s Republic of Asheville, where the lesbians grow thick and wild and white men with dreadlocks roam under the full moon eclipse, searching for magic mushrooms and holy crystals and a nice place to smoke the dank, brah.

It is true that Osama bin Laden hides in the mountains — these mountains, the Blue Ridge portion of the Appalachians, not far from the Great Smokies. Osama is in deep cover as a lesbian massage therapist with an MFA in poetry. I am going to get a combination Reiki/shiatsu treatment at his deceptively folksy spa-cave, and then I am going to take him down, like Stanley McChrystal and Joseph Biden and George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney never have and never will. I will bring the head of Hippie Lesbosama bin Laden to Barack Hussein Obama and lo, shall the feasting and dancing last ‘til dawn! SAKE BOMBS! Woot woot! Woot woot!

Sara Benincasa kind of lost it this week. DIDN’T YOU? DIDN’T EVERYBODY? Jesus ….

Oh, I thought you were going to buy us a round of IUDs. That would be different, and would prevent the autistic fat children issue.

memzilla June 25, 2010 at 6:11 pm

Sara, WIN! The best I can wish for you is that Ken L., as a business expense, is paying for the comestibles you use to get into the state of mind you need to be in order to post what you post. Don’t abuse the privilege, though… IOW, don’t bill for Kristal what can be accomplished with Smirnoff, etc. And as for the herbilage, just call it “kale.”

While in Beautiful Asheville, be sure to check out a few of their many brightly-clad goddess-centric lesbian drum circles. You might even see my aunt! I am fairly certain that she is not Osama. She’s only been with her girlfriend for a few years tho… Well, at any rate, if your masseuse inquiry fails, at least let them get through the first set before you bust out the cattle prod.

nobody wins in afghanistan. ever. you can look it up, the records go way back. not even the afghans win in afghanistan, but they’re pretty much stuck there. as for the americans among us here in wonkettia, it’s a matter of getting out of there with as much of our national ass intact as possible. any suggestions?

Enjoy your weekend, fresh meat. But before you attempt to go all Drunken Master on that soft-spoken sister of the caves, get a cupping to augment your reiki & shiatsu. You will be so in tune with the circle of life, the homicide will seem more holier.

Katydid June 25, 2010 at 10:22 pm

Mebbe they found some WMDs up Cheney’s ass, and they’re going to hold him as a terrorist’s mule. WMDs up the ass can cause discomfort, but Cheney has no feelings, so I don’t know what caused him to go to the doctor in the first place. Maybe the nuclear warheads were sticking out or something.

WadISay June 25, 2010 at 10:24 pm

Hmm, Cheney’s been hospitalized. I hope it’s not fatal. Lingering and painful, but not fatal.

It must be pretty damn intimidating having a meeting with Rahm when he’s wearing General McChrystal’s skin. I can picture him pulling McChrystal’s face over his own and then pulling it back over his head like a hoodie several times in the conversation, as though he was idly playing with it. In fact I think it’s time he called Lindsey Graham in to talk about Cap and Trade.

Sarah, I’d never heard of you until you appeared on this Wonkette site. Then I looked you up and was so impressed with how healthy your eyes and gums look and how I am absolutely convinced you taste really good and stuff, even though you are a redhead which has always traditionally disgusted me on some very deep level and for which I have always believed is caused by a missing and/or defective gene. You have overcome your bad genes in every possible way. This is no small achievement.

I just thought I’d put that out there.
