We tell the Ayatollah and Amadanijihad that we will let them walk away with all of the money they have stolen and their lives if they step down and allow for the transfer to a democracy. If not, we lift the prohibition on assassination and every humming noise they hear could be an armed drone with a laser sight trained on their foreheads until the day they are both dead.

Always for the children
Regulating tobacco. And by restrictions on commercial speech.
If by "children" they mean "citizens who are treated like children."

Morton's Fork.
Frankly, I think we're all forked. (Thanks, thanks, I'll be here all week. Remember to tip your waitress. But only in Yuan.)
A Morton's Fork is a choice between two equally unpleasant alternatives (in other words, a dilemma), or two lines of reasoning that lead to the same unpleasant conclusion. It is analogous to the expressions "between the devil and the deep blue sea" or "between a rock and a hard place." This is the opposite of the Buridan's Ass.
The expression originates from a policy of tax collection devised by John Morton, Lord Chancellor of England in 1487, under the rule of Henry VII.
His approach was that if the subject lived in luxury and had clearly spent a lot of money on himself, he obviously had sufficient income to spare for the king. Alternatively, if the subject lived frugally, and showed no sign of being wealthy, he must have substantial savings and could therefore afford to give it to the king. These arguments were the two prongs of the fork and regardless of whether the subject was rich or poor, he did not have a favourable choice

Update: Flight 93 Memorial Showdown
The comments here say it all.
Apparently 950 acres isn't enough for the feel goody theme park the National Parks Service intends to create. 500 more acres is needed. At the point of a gun.
I am all in favor of a tasteful memorial for those brave people aboard the plane. But nothing about this seems tasteful- more like a land grab by the National Parks Service. Naturally they'll need a slightly larger budget, more people employed, etc, etc.

Is there anything it can't do?
The world is moving on from this particular hoax, Mr. Annan. Unfortunately your former employer is one that remains.
