So, on a different topic: following a weekend which saw Iran’s navy deploy itself into the Gulf, and Little Kimmy detonate a full-fledged nuclear bomb while simultaneously performing missile tests in Japan’s general direction…where the hell is our Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton? Shouldn’t she be out there, front and center, addressing these issues? And if she’s been kidnapped by aliens, or raptured, or consigned to a closet somewhere by her boss, shouldn’t the nation have heard about it?

Her absence is both odd and disturbing. Not that I miss her. Just that it’s becoming questionable whether the US has any coherent foreign policy at all.
