"Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave? Actually, no.
Instead, the black flag of al-Qaeda flies over the U.S. embassy in Tunis.
But don’t worry, when your president’s so cool he’s doing gigs in Vegas, what happens in Tunis stays in Tunis.
As a Canadian, I’m interested to see that America has belatedly adopted the divided responsibilities of the Westminster system. Proceeding from the Pimp with the Limp show to Letterman to BeyoncĂ© and back again, Barack Obama makes a perfectly adequate (if somewhat cheesy and downmarket) ceremonial queen.
But who’s he appointed as prime minister to do the tedious business of running the government (and attending those boring national-security meetings)?"
