Quite full after hausing some hamburgers, our President (Obama) and President-Vice (Biden) shot the shit with the heads of state of Pakistan and Afghanistan; two 'Stans. The Pres. of Pakistan is totally not Musharraf, but is instead is one of the five richest people in his country. Anyway the military probably doesn't listen to him and will set off a nuke any time if they feel grumpy. So basically this guy wants nothing but stability and control but he's got a signficant radical Islamist element to deal with and a military that is more of a national institution than his own office. Of course the drones and other attacks blowing up mad heads on his soil pisses off said groups and threatens his already unstable government (remember when his wife was assassinated before she could (probably) be elected prime minister?). Anyway Karzai is in the same position because he's basically almost been iced like 9 times since he's been in office, and can't really control the opium trade or convince people to, let's say, not support the Taliban. So everybody is dying, heroin's being made, no one trusts anyone, and some missiles might get shot in the most volatile-region-straight-up ever.

So here is Joe Biden looking like he's sucking on an atomic fireball while our (yours and mine) President tells the teleprompter to get out of the way of the cameras.


And the Hamburger Story will probably get more play.
