Fafblog!: ‘The Giblets Doctrine: Giblets will not settle for promoting anything as pansy-ass as Democracy! …’  [→ READ ]

As NYCO says, Fafblog! is “an acquired taste,” but on acquiring it — as I have begun to do — is damned funny. For example:

There’s a lot of Bush vs. Kerry foreign policy talk flyin’ around right about now and frankly it does not impress Giblets much. John Kerry’s people say “oh well John Kerry will be very competant in foreign policy blah blah blah” well Giblets couldn’t give a rat’s ass! Where is the Articulated Grand Strategy in competence, huh? Where is the entrepreneurial up-from-the-bootthings spirit? Where is the heart, John Kerry?

The heart is with George Bush and his Bold Grand Strategy of turning all countries in the world into democracies by arbitrarily blowing them up. …

Do poke around. Watch out for over-the-top silliness, which, even so, is an antidote to too much seriousness.
