Power Sans Merit

Reading about the latest internet death threat vid from Adam Gadahn, the American Taliban 2 (he's actually A.Q., but hey, what's the real diff?), as well as some background info courtesy of LA's CityBeat, Otto is once again reminded of the basic profile of a terrorist. "Loser" would be a bit harsh, but not too far off the mark.

You can theorize and psychoanalyze this kind of stuff all day, but in the end it comes down to One Main Thing: Getting chicks. With the benefit of almost fifty years' thinking on this subject, I will propose that there are three (3) basic ways to get chicks:

1) Be incredibly good looking. Jude Law. Tom Selleck. Early Mel Gibson. Rugged jaw. Heart-melting smile. Soulful eyes. This doesn't happen too often, so your chances here are pretty slim.

2) Be good. Sure, it may not win the hand of the Angelina Jolies and Keira Knightleys of the world, but the average chick does place large stock in common decency and kindness in a guy. The problem with this approach is that you typically wind up being in a relief pitcher role, sitting on the bench for long long innings, and are only called into the game after the starting pitcher (See numbers 1 and 3) messes up big-time. It's a long wait, and some can't wait that long. So then, finally, there's...

3) Obtain power. This can occur by getting rich, or once in a great while by being lucky enough to be born into it. But there is another way...yes, a way that's not been talked about much by anybody in The Chattering Class in this present day and age. That way is to become a Muslim.

Why? Because the whole system is geared towards guys. Need proof? Just two words will make the nut: Clitoral circumcision.

The typical way to get rich is to work hard, in school and in your job. No matter how many times the mindless Left wants to hollah that The Game Is Rigged, working hard is still the surest way to bucks. Merit leads to bucks, which lead to power.

But if you don't want to go that route, if the whole grind-it-out approach leaves you cold, then radical Muslim would surely be an easier way to power. Power sans merit.

Now you got your chicks. What could be sweeter?
