[American Thinker] M*A*S*H was an American television comedy that ran from 1972 through 1983. Set in the Korean War, it followed the exploits of a U.S. Army field surgical hospital (the "4077th") as they dealt with the hardships of war, the bureaucratic inefficiencies that hindered their medical efforts, and the many characters and personalities they encountered along the way. Although the series had a constant subtle undertone of anti-Americanism and took veiled jabs at the military establishment and conservative thought, the series itself was well acted and entertaining, as borne out by its remarkable eleven-year run.For the first three seasons, the 4077th was commanded by the character Lt. Colonel Henry Blake. Blake was a kindly, bumbling sort, who never quite knew what he was doing and was blissfully unaware of the shenanigans continually being pulled off by the mischievous doctors and staff under his supervision. One particularly funny character was the company clerk, Corporal Walter "Radar" O'Reilly. It was O'Reilly's task to get Col. Blake to sign the authorization orders and requisitions.
On many occasions, O'Reilly would put multiple requests on Blake's desk and wait impatiently for them to be signed. The hapless, oft-confused Blake would say, "Radar, what the heck am I signing?"
The clever O'Reilly would reply, "Oh, don't worry, sir. You want this." "Okay, Radar. If you say so."
Joe Biden is this country's Lt. Colonel Henry Blake.
To begin his largely symbolic, retribution-based term of office, "President" Biden issued 17 executive orders on his first day. There can't be any real doubt in peoples' minds that Biden didn't write or conceive any of these. The 17 E.O.s presented to him in a painfully choreographed, ostentatiously grandiose fashion on his opening day in office were quite obviously prepared by his Progressive-minded operatives well in advance, his group of unelected, unaccountable sycophants who will control the puppet strings for as long as Biden is able to sit upright and remain awake behind the desk. Biden dutifully and unthinkingly signed each one, as his minions of O'Reillys looked on, satisfied with knowing they had put one over on the big guy, much as the 4077th's clerk consistently hoodwinked the oblivious Col. Blake.
