  • So Uncool to Beg

    Creepy Easter BunnyHappy Easter! In honor of the holiday, Prime Minister al Maliki said no to permanent US bases in Iraq for the 4023rd time on Thursday, during a meeting with Admiral Mike Mullen, chair of the joint chiefs of staff. Mullen sought to resurrect the idea, hoping for divine intervention.

    Mullen’s pilgrimage comes on the heels of recent begging trips by SecDef Gates, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R – Boner) and Chief of Staff of the Army Martin Dempsey.

    Guys: Desperation never works. Be cool, hang out first, let her come to you. If it isn’t meant to be, just move on, ‘Kay? Plenty of fish in the sea.
