Rant of the Non-Believer.

I saw Tim Minchin perform this in 2012 in DC when I took Brook to the Reason Rally to see her idol, Richard Dawkins. It rained the whole day while we stood outside on The Mall. We had taken the train from Trenton and weren’t planning to stay overnight. It was January.

Had a blast. 😛

This is what many of us would like to say to the woo-woo believers and anti-vax crowd but minchin does it better and rhymes.

Don’t worry, the State Department will work it out.

You’re not going to believe this but there is more stuff in the news other than Roy Moore’s predilection for sweet young things, some of whom are below the age of consent.

There have been a number of strange occurrences in the Middle East. Saudi Crown Prince Salman rounded up a boatload of his most corrupt relatives and is holding them under house arrest in a Ritz Carlton. That’s awfully decent of him.

Meanwhile, the prime minister of Lebanon went to Saudi Arabia last week, abruptly resigned and hasn’t been heard from since.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah, the Iranian backer party in Lebanon is agitating for answers, even though the missing PM is sponsored by the Saudis.

Could this have anything to do with the Hezbollah missiles that were fired at Riyadh from Yemen recently?

Oh, yeah, Saudi Arabia is at war with Yemen, which is a proxy for Iran, which it hates because Iranians are bad hombres and Shia Moslems and Saudis are wahabbi Suni moslems.

Shun the unbelievers! ShhuuuuuunnnnnnnnN.

{{rolling eyes}}

Wait, didn’t Trump nix the nuclear deal we made with Iran? Yeah, that will make it easier for us to negotiate with them.

Meanwhile (how many meanwhiles are we up to now?), Hezbollah forces in Lebanon have been amassing artillery along Israel’s northern border.

And over all of this, ISIS leader Bagdhadi has moved to a new pad in Syria, which is at war with itself, ISIS, and the Kurds.

But not to worry because Ex-Exxon CEO Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is right on it. Yessiree! He’ll just dispatch our crack team of seasoned state department diplomats to the region to get to the bottom of this and keep a lid on things until Trump can return from visiting his properties his 12 day trip to Asia and…

What’s that? What do you mean the State Department is a F#%*ing mess and 60% of our top diplomats have left since Trump took office leaving serious gaps in our diplomatic staff?

Ok, ok, let’s not panic. I’m sure everything will be ok. Who did Trump put in charge of mid-east peace?

Jared Kushner.

😳

Start hoarding supplies and reinforcing the basement.

Look for gas prices to spike. Not my problem. I take a bus to work and can work from home if necessary. You Trump voters should have planned better.

Do you feel safe yet?
