The WSWS

noted our dictator's speech in Reno yesterday, whereby he threatened to go after Iran after causing a catastrophe in Iraq.

I was at work today when our dictator was hanging around the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, speaking before a legion of Legionnaires trying to sound tough and "bold." This photo from the Reno Gazette-Journal by Tim Dunn perfectly captures his trademark deer-in-the-headlights gaze.

Old Turd

accompanied our dictator to Reno tonight. Presumably Fredo isn't there.

As you may recall, years ago Turd lived in Sparks, where he slung mud in the local irrigation ditch in preparation for a political career.

Quote of the Day.

"Love the plane, not very fond of the cargo."--Anonymous poster at the Reno Gazette-Journal website, referring to our dictator's spectacular landing in Reno in time for the American Legion convention.

I didn't know he'd be here tonight, so I never bothered to leave the apartment.

It Seems As If

everybody who is anybody in politics, and, in this case, a big Nobody, has been coming to Reno.

First it was Michelle Obama, then Bill Clinton, then Mitt Romney, then Joe Biden and Bill Richardson, and now it is our beloved dictator.

However, the public will not be allowed to attend the event.

President Cheney was at I believe the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention a year or so ago when it was in Reno.
