by KenThe working theory tonight is that a picture is worth, well, a whole lotta words, and above you have a picture, not just of how washingtonpost.com's opinion e-updates usually look when they arrive in my e-mailbox, with this weird line breakage that pushes authors' names up into cahoots with the (actual) previous author's column blurb, but an actual reproduction of the way this morning's opinion roundup looked, making it appear to the uncareful glancer as if Washington Post editorial-page editor Fred Hiatt (aka the Dumbest Lunk on the Planet) had written about "unjust economics," a subject of apparent interest to some yoyo named Francis. (Sinatra?)The record will show that Fred-the-Lunk is in fact a great believer in unjust economics, as befitting his life of service to America's Predator Class, a cause also dear to the heart of the below-named Robert J. "No Relation to Paul" Samuelson, who is locked in deadly combat with Fred-the-Lunk for that title of World's Dumbest Lunk, a sworn believer that unjust economics is, well, just just. (It's not hard to believe that "No Relation to Paul" would be writing about putatively disastrous Obama choices, since that's written into his Predator Stooge contract. Okay, it's a stretch to imagine "No Relation" writing about Rwanda, but if he has to stretch a little for a new opportunity to apply his keen analytic talents to yet another of the president's shortcomings, he's secure in the knowledge that his Predator pals have paid in full for his services, with the precious gift of a career.As you will have figured out, however, it's not Fred the Lunk who's writing about "Francis's mission" and "unjust economics; it's E. J. Dionne Jr., who might well have written about embracing gun control, though he doesn't usually get involved in Virginia attorney-general races. Ah, that makes a whole lot more sense. It's E.J. writing about Pope Francis's mission. And it's Fred-the-Lunk who's suggesting that Syria is Obama's Rwanda, notwithstanding the fact that if there's anything F-the-L knows less about than Syria, it's Rwanda. But when you sign onto the Predator agenda, it comes with the territory that you'll be writing about stuff like Syria, about which your ignorance is cosmic. And if you have real talent for obfuscatory blithering -- and our Fred has something approaching genius -- you can blow it up into a twofer with screeching incomprehension about Rwanda.At first blush, looking down and noticing the "Peace through pandas" piece, one might wish that Fred-the-Lunk or "No Relation to Paul" had glommed onto the panda story -- except that you realize neither of them could possibly get a handle on that either, especially if the story somehow involves "peace." F-the-L and "No Relation to" don't usually get mixed up with peacenik babble. Their handlers frown on that kind of crazy talk.It occurs to me that you might well want to read what EJD has to say about "Francis's mission." You'll find that here. For that matter, you might want to read about the pandas; that's here. (Cui Tiankai, in case you didn't remember, is -- we're informed at the link -- the Chinese ambassador to the U.S.)If, however, you want to read Fred-the-Lunk on Syria and Rwanda, or Robert J. "No Relation to Paul" about the "problems" of "this economy," I'm afraid I can't help. And trust me, you need help.#
