A Setback in the White House

Laughing often looks like screaming in terror.

Eight years ago I started out writing a humor blog, but gradually events turned darker and darker and suddenly there's not too much funny around. In fact, just about the funniest thing I can think of is that my fellow Americans elected President Barack Obama twice, and now they are finally beginning to understand that he is in way over his head. This phenomenon is called "the Peter principle," stemming from a book written back in 1969 by Laurence J. Peter.

In a nutshell, the Peter principle refers to the fact that the decision by management to promote an employee is usually based on his or her performance in their current job. This eventually results in their being promoted to their highest level of competence, and potentially to a role in which they are not competent. This is referred to as their "level of incompetence." Naturally the employee in question has no chance of further promotion, and the only way out is down.

This is exactly what has happened to Obama, who is hot to flood our country with thousands and thousands of Syrian refugees at a time when at least one million radical terrorists, based in Syria, are bent on our destruction and relish the chance to get in here and blow us the hell up.

See, I told you it wouldn't be funny.
