You thought D.O.D. stood for "dod"

Apparently Barack hasn't read this blog. If he had, I'm certain the American public would be hearing about some very different incoming cabinet secretaries.

I can see now that maybe Suge Knight is just too abrasive for the Department of Defense job. But why not M.O.P., Barry? Maybe you find these young men too rowdy and too cavalier to be pillars of diplomacy? Perhaps you fear they would revert too easily to the use of force as a tool for spreading democracy?

Well, maybe you haven't read Robert Gates' resume recently. Bobby was "very involved" in the Iran-Contra Affair in the 80's. Some of you kids may have heard of it? This tiny blip in US history occurred when our government overthrew the government of Nicaragua (killing many people in the process) and financed it all by selling guns to Iran, via Israel, in exchange for Hezbollah hostages. Frankly, I prefer the traditional timberland boot and baseball bat beatdown. No secret Pentagon meetings or backdoor deals with frenemies in the Middle East, just good old fashion whoop ass when and where you need it.
