Yeah, right and well, duh.

The head of the Secret Service testified today that the "incident" (what a powerless word) in Colombia was an isolated incident and does not reflect the high standards of the Secret Service. Hmm and yeah, right.

His explanation for why 11 men, two of them in that service more than 20 years and both of them married, took part in that "incident" is a very stupid explanation. Not really an explanation at all, and who is surprised?

"Between the alcohol and, I don't know, the environment," he says, "these individuals did some really dumb things. And I just can't explain why."

What does that mean? Can't explain why? Can't, as in I'm not at liberty to? Or can't, as in I don't know why they did that?

I say, well, duh. He is, I'm pretty sure, the only person in this universe who could not explain why.

Politics, as usual

Today Obama voiced his support of gay marriage.
Who is surprised?
After all, gays are powerful these days, and King Barack wants to be re-elected.
We shall see what Romney does about it.
