The Short List — Wed., April 30
April 30th, 2008 by Joe Bardi in The Morning Papers
Dude, you gotta read your deed restrictions.
- Obama cuts off the ravin’ Rev.
- Mrs. Irrelevant.
- U.S. preps military action against a “hostile” Iran. I’d suggest “Operation: National Suicide” as a title.
- U.S. economy staves off recession with .6% growth. I feel better, don’t you?
- Figuring out the rice shortage. (Hint: The problem isn’t just ethanol.)
- Al Franken finally pays his taxes.
- Paula Abdul’s got issues with her short-term memory.
- Lede of the week: “A teen accused of plotting to blow up his high school told police that he wanted to die, go to heaven and kill Jesus, federal authorities said Tuesday.”

“If that doesn’t produce results, the State Department has begun drafting an ultimatum that would tell the Iranians to knock it off - or else.”
Is that word for word how the ultimatum would read?
Dear Iran,
Knock it off. Or else…
Love,
America
I think that would be very effective. I don’t know a single person on this planet who, when given that ultimatum, is curious and wants to find out what the “or else” is.
Also, I think the Captcha code can read minds. I’m about to enter “warsi.” How did it know I was going to comment on the Iran story?

The “Knock it off” ultimatum is to be followed with a “Why we oughta …” communique unless Iran acquiesces
