I got to admit, it was a rather refreshing change from the all the pissing and moaning about Obama, from the Repubs here on the board.  ;)

Yes, you read that correctly. That is a real news headline out of the Washington Post.  

Morocco's Prime Minister, Abdelilah Benkirane, got upset that French company, Dannon has raised the price of their yogurt. So Prime Minister Benkirane has called for a 10-day boycott of Dannon yogurt products, suggesting that Moroccans make their own yogurt at home.  

As the Post article points out, some Moroccans were upset that Prime Minister Benkirane would weigh in on such a matter. After all, we are talking about the price of fucking yogurt here.  

Well, as it turns out, there are some false assumptions about the powers held by the Prime Minister of Morocco. Wouldn't you like to know what they are? Why, yes you would.  

Morocco may have a prime minister, who's name is Abdelilah Benkirane (rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?), but Morocco also has a monarchy, and a group of advisers to the monarchy, known as the "Makhzan". I bet you didn't know that shit. The Makhzan hold almost all the significant domestic and foreign powers in Morocco. This governmental structure was put in place by former Moroccan king Hassan II. See, you learn a new thing every day.  

So, as you can see, the prime minister of Morocco, who's name is, say it with me kids... Abdelilah Benkirane...doesn't have much authority over anything except pissing and moaning about fucking yogurt prices.  

Now at this point, you may be asking yourself, why in the fuck did Willy write this stupid as shit, silly ass post. Well, that's a damn good question. But I'll tell ya what: I bet you just enjoyed reading the previous 6 paragraphs a fuck of a lot more than watching some Republican nobody give a speech on CSPAN.  

Hmm. I wonder if Prime Minister Benkirane holds any stock in Yoplait.

for providing a prime example of the dubious value of raw intellect and the effect of chronic pot smoking.

I'll let others decide for themselves whether or not they consider the former Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient a "nobody" and he was commenting on the character assasination of the non-deserting members in Birdshit's unit by FEDERAL EMPLOYEE FUCKSTICK ASSHOLES.  

 
BTW, I have a feeling you didn't  know, the fact they label that yogurt "Greek" doesn't mean you can pack your ass with it.

 Military service

On January 11, 2005, Cotton joined the United States Army and entered Officer Candidate School in March 2005. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army on June 30, 2005. Cotton later attended both the U.S. Army Airborne School and Ranger School.[3]

As an infantry officer and platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division, he was deployed to Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom on May 19, 2006. In Iraq, Cotton was responsible for a 41 man air assault infantry platoon in the 506th Infantry Regiment,[6] and planned and led daily combat patrols. He completed his first combat tour in Iraq on November 20, 2006, and was awarded the Army Commendation Medal, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Iraq Campaign Medal, and various campaign/service medals.[3]

In June 2006, Cotton gained public attention after he wrote an open letter to The New York Times criticizing the paper's publication of an article detailing a Bush administration secret program monitoring terrorists' finances in which he called for three journalists, including the Times' editor, Bill Keller, to be imprisoned for espionage.[7] The article was widely circulated online and reprinted in full in several newspapers.[8]

Following his deployment in Iraq, Cotton was assigned as a platoon leader at The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery,[9] where he was responsible for conducting military honor funerals for veterans. In 2008, he volunteered to return to combat duty, was promoted to Captain on August 1, 2008, and deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom on October 15, 2008. In Afghanistan, Cotton was assigned to Laghman Province, just north of Tora Bora in eastern Afghanistan. He was assigned duty as the operations officer of a Provincial Reconstruction Team, where he planned and resourced daily counter-insurgency and reconstruction operations for an 83-member joint and interagency team.[3]

Cotton returned from Afghanistan on July 20, 2009. For his second tour in Afghanistan he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and various campaign/service medals. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army on September 26, 2009 at Fort Myer, Virginia.[3]

keep his hands off my Chobani Greek non-fat yogurt or I'll call for his impeachment!  If it's Yoplait or Dannon, I have no problem with that! ;)
