Paul Wolfowitz delivers a speech shortly before chaining himself to a missile silo.
When we think nuclear disarmament, or really just peace-making in general, there’s one name that pops into our collective head almost immediately: Paul Wolfowitz. Wolfowitz is best known for his uncanny ability to spread peace and democracy everywhere he goes - most notably the Middle East - and so it would make sense that he is again called upon by a grateful nation to distill a highly nuanced international problem into an easily actionable black-and-white. He’s been asked by the State Dept. to lead a panel on nuclear nonproliferation, an issue Wolfwitz has been at the forefront of for at least 15 minutes.
We’re glad to hear Wolfie’s landed himself a steady gig - God knows he’s been hurting for a paycheck ever since those inappreciative, small-minded foreigns ran him out of the World Bank for no other reason than complete moral depravity and wholesale corruption. We also take comfort in the fact that only the Bush administration would take the recommendations of a Wolfowitz panel seriously and that the Bush administration does not let any kind of outside advice influence its decision-making.
A hearty Cynics salute tonight goes out to Judges Thomas Morrow Reavley and Edward Charles Prado of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (in Texas) who Tuesday published a brilliant and prescient opinion that ought, by all rights, propel them to the Supreme Court. The gentlemen in question decided that the Texas law that criminalizes the sale or promotion of sex toys in the state of Texas is violative of the 14th Amendment right to privacy enshrined in our great Constitution.
