Holy Gucifer, Batman! People sure are steamed about Vladimir Putin's alleged hacking of the DNC emails. How dare Russia try to get involved with America's presidential elections... without a formal invitation. Better to do it the way Ted Kennedy tried in 1983, by asking the then-Soviet Union to help defeat President Reagan's re-election. But don't get the wrong idea. Ted planned on asking France and Britain for their help, too, 'cause they're our allies. Lafayette, we are here... to get you to help us get rid of our president.

- 1953-1964: U.S. and UK instigate strikes, disinformation and terrorism in order to prevent democratically-elected leader from taking power in Guyana. It proves unsuccessful. (Try harder!)

- 1970: U.S. tries to replace democratically-elected Italian government with a military dictatorship. It proves unsuccessful. (Oh, man!)
- 1970: U.S. tries to sabotage Salvador Allende's re-election. When that doesn't work, it tries to assassinate him. It proves unsuccessful. (Get your act together!)
- 1973: U.S. encourages military coup of Pres. Salvador Allende. It works. (Finally!)
One piece of good news, however: farmers in the Washington, DC area are expecting a bumper egg crop now that the chickens have come home to roost.
