Tough love is out, real love is in? For real? OH! DADDY-O! You must really love me! I mean you even thanked me for dinner and all! How can I ever repay you? Could we just all love each other more? Maybe I could get you in closer with China and Russia and Iran and all? And we could all have sleepovers ‘n stuff? Luv’s just WUNDERFUL!

And you thought we made that up? Couldn’t have. Peruse this:
WASHINGTON — After more than a year of watching America’s ability to influence President Hamid Karzai ebb, Obama administration officials now admit privately that the tough-love approach Mr. Obama adopted when he came to power may have been a big mistake. (1)
And speeching of tough love…
The NYT continues its holocaust-style criticism of the Pope. That RAG! Giving Pop a hard time for coddling child-abusing priests. That’s crude, really. I mean you take this loving priest who was convicted of tying up and abusing two young boys in a California church rectory. He didn’t mean nothing by it. And he wanted to resign and you wouldn’t let him. That’s real tough love, a real good example. Good for you, Pop. Bad old Times!
Enough of this love stuff! Back to the blood ‘n gore!
Oh, Joy! Another fight! Down with this love stuff, and git on with the blood lettin’! John Paul is definitely leaving El Courto Supremo this Summer. Bubba says he’s gonna upgrade his Tivo to the new gonzo digital version, get a bigger widescreen and get ready for the brawl. It starts now, with DaddyO primed to stick in one of his liberalist friends, and stack up the votes in his Senate to back’im! Bubba says this is gonna be a sight.
And finally, with apologies to those who love the junk stuff normally in the news, we stop the nonsense to give our condolences to all who love the miners who were lost in the West Virginia mine disaster. We understand the last four were brought out early this morning. They didn’t make it. Sad. And some are insensitive enough to blame the miners and their families for their “bad choices” of even living where they do. Sad.
Then there’s the mother in Shelbyville, Tennessee, who adopted a Russian child, became desperate when she couldn’t handle his violent nature and sent him back to Russia. She too must be grieving and soaked with guilt. She must be going through hell, while the press gloats over it as an international incident and a bad-mom moment. Sad.
