“Crazy Asian Regime? Why, we invented Crazy Asian Regime!”

Burma just upped the ante in the Crazy Asian Regime title race. Their ploy? Suddenly move the capital for no reason whatsoever:

At precisely 6:37 a.m. last Sunday, according to one account - with a shout of "Let's go!" - a convoy of trucks began a huge, expensive and baffling transfer of the government of Myanmar from the capital to a secret mountain compound 200 miles to the north.

[A]ccording to reports from the capital, [Rangoon], officials and civil servants were given only a day or two to pack and say goodbye to their families.

When they arrived at the new site, called Pyinmanaa, it was still under construction, and there were shortages of water, telephone lines and even sleeping quarters and food, according to family members quoted by news agencies and exile groups that monitor Myanmar.

Foreign diplomats said they were told that if they had urgent business with the relocated government, they could send a fax but that no number was yet available.

That ‘get in touch with us by fax,’ but no fax number? That’s just good crazy.

Ok, maybe there’s a reason behind this. Some are speculating that the too-long-in-the-jungle generals are worried about U.S. invasion, but that ain’t the favored explanation. No, the leading candidate is advice from fortune tellers.

Joseph Silverstein [Burma expert at Rutgers] believes the most likely explanation for the relocation is advice by traditional Burmese fortune-tellers.

"Everybody listens to fortune-tellers in Burma," he said.

General Ne Win, who came to power in 1962, was totally dependent on their advice, Mr Silverstein added.

"He is once said to have decided to change the direction of traffic overnight [as a result of a fortune teller]. It caused a huge number of accidents," he said.

All in all, a diabolical move. North Korea isn’t expected to take this challenge lying down, however. Kim Jong Il has already announced N. Korean scientists are working round the clock on ways to “Up the crazy. Bigtime!” Reports are already circulating every citizen will be now be named “Glub-Glub” and wear pointy wizard hats made of lasagna.

Is that Pyinmanaa...or Pyinmanaa-aa-aa?

Is it two a's or three?

No, I said Tommy Corman, not Chief Orman!

Posted by: sentinel on November 16, 2005 04:15 PM

I think you mean Kim Jong Il there at the end, but that was laugh out loud funny.

Posted by: See-Dubya on November 16, 2005 04:20 PM

The Five Pools are here ? Why didn't you say so right away?


Good stuff, Dr. Reo.

Oh, yeah: They seem to be building a nuke plant, too.

Posted by: ace on November 16, 2005 04:20 PM

Right you are See-Dub. Corrected. And thanks.

Posted by: Dr. Reo Symes on November 16, 2005 04:22 PM

Burma/Myanmar/Hellburbia, or course, is run by the State Law and Order Restoration Council. SLORC. This fits nicely with my evolving theory that the James Bond flicks are coldly factual political documentaries.

Like unbeatable is NOT unbeatable.

I KNOW THAT NOW!

How did you get a hold of my secret plans?

Burma!!!

Why'd you say Burma?

I panicked.

I have to stop reading this shit at work. That literally made me laugh out loud.

Posted by: JackStraw on November 16, 2005 05:02 PM

Great idea - relocate the government to a place where it is the only thing around. Makes targetting that much easier.

I say J-DAM,
You say J-DayAM,
Let's blow the whole thing up!

Posted by: Mikey on November 16, 2005 05:03 PM

Anyone else notice how they declared independence from the Brits at 4:20 am?

Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 16, 2005 06:46 PM

LOL.

The funniest part? They don't even have any lasagna. That makes it just that much more crazy.

Posted by: The Colossus on November 16, 2005 07:23 PM

Just noted it - they've moved to a mountain lair. Pretty classic in the bad-guy-rule-the-world-evil-government thing. Points for style.

Posted by: Mikey on November 16, 2005 07:43 PM

A mountian lair? Cool. Does it have a false volcanic caldera roof that splits open?

Posted by: Darth Bubba on November 16, 2005 07:54 PM

Maybe it's supposed to stimulate the economy?

The guy that mentioned SLORC reminded me that I saw a documentary about the anti-SLORC resistance fighters. Their official song is sung to the tune of "Dust In The Wind" and the lyrics are about how there is no hope and they will certainly all be killed and forgotten!

I've never been to Myanmar, but I've talked to Burmese emmigrants outside of Burma (some of them illegal), and their stories are just heart-breaking. Familes ripped apart by unnecessary poverty and the stupidest most insane violence. Human beings just weren't meant to suffer like that.

America is one of the few countries that makes any effort to put any pressure on the Burmese government to improve.

So, the entire government of Myanmar is in one little place in the mountains. Construction is still under way, so it can't be very well hardened.

Is anyone else thinking: why did we invest billions in precisely targeted tactical nukes?

Posted by: Michael on November 16, 2005 10:20 PM

Michael, why "precisely targeted"? Couldn't we just get ourselves a not-so-bright jihadi, dress him up in a faggy little messenger's outfit like Cleavon Little in "Blazing Saddles", and airdrop his silly ass into the new capitol. "Nuke-O-Gram for Myanmar!"

All we have to do is convince a few islamoretards that Myanmar is the world's leading producer of pork chops, or industrial Koran-flushing toilets, and we'll have them begging to carry the mail for us on this one.

Russ:

I like the way you think. Low-tech solutions seem to be working these days.

Posted by: Michael on November 16, 2005 11:22 PM

Russ:

Brilliant!

Posted by: Mikey on November 17, 2005 08:55 AM

Some are speculating that the too-long-in-the-jungle generals are worried about U.S. invasion

I guess nobody has the heart to tell them that, in the plan of things, they're rather low on our priority list?

Posted by: on November 17, 2005 05:31 PM

And the best part of farming this job out to a Pakistani/Saudi jihadi? We can lay off two or three of our overpaid domestic jihadis by doing it this way. We've got a smoldering target, deniability because a foreign national carried out the attack, and we bump up the profit margin just a wee bit more. Win-win-win, if you ask me.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
