    Insert "navel observatory" joke here.

    If Shrub can slap a tariff on steel, then surely his buddy, Hosni, can slap a tariff on Bizzarro steel: pulchritudinous bellies.
    Thus doth slowly grindeth the wheel of time: tit for tat, slap for slap, tweak for tweak.
    Don't break the rhythm.
    Six-pack abs can rest easy as they are aluminum.
