"Gee, aren't heterosexuals allowed to have any fun?" posted by Richard Seymour

So Justin Raimondo quips in response to the allegations of marital infidelity against John Kerry, the sexagenarian Democrat who would be King. Well, no, they're not. Not with men, not with other women, not even with themselves. It's just forbidden. The Bible says so.

But if the Republicans are now going to rely on teasing Kerry's cock as a nice distraction from the real issues, I think it a good idea to take a soujourn from the grey porn of American politics and get back to the juicy stuff. Like, check this out:

The UN has decided that elections aren't likely to happen in Iraq until 2005, because the country isn't ready for it. That's nice of them. It turns out the procedures would take too long and yada yada yada, you don't to get into the technical stuff. And also, "Coalition authorities are also concerned that the security situation in Iraq - where two suicide bombings in the last week killed more than 100 people - is too unstable for election until next year."

Yeah, you see, they think if Iraqis remain deprived of their autonomy for another year or so that'll calm them down a bit. And of course, in the excitable mood they're in now they might vote for any old lunatic. They might vote for a pro-Iranian government and try to nationalise their industries again. Which of course would make some hard work for the CIA and necessitate another few decades of US-sponsored dictatorship just to smack some sense into them. No, no. Elections can wait until we say so.

Elections may have to wait in America too if the voters keep acting so crazy. Turns out support for the war in America has dropped from 65% to 49% in the last two months, on account of everything the Bush administration said turning out to be horseshit.

The British government aren't too happy about the way the Iraqi pie is being sliced up either. Recall what I told you about our Iraq envoy Brian Wilson dragging mercenary companies and others to a Kuwait 2004 conference ? It turns out that Tony Blair is sending him along with Mike O'Brien to Washington next week to see if we can even get one bid:

'"Despite extensive lobbying by ministers and officials for significant UK content in these projects, none of the UK bids (from AMEC, Foster Wheeler and the Wood Group) were successful," says a note attached to other documents from Gregor Lusty, head of the Iraq unit at UK Trade & Investment, an arm of the Department of Trade and Industry.'

Oh, for fuck's sake! And we spent all that money and political capital? Come on, Amreeekans, give us some a yer blood money !
