Call Off The Election: #OccupyResoluteDesk Has Another Five Years

by Smitty This is a relief, as I’ve become somewhat stressed out trying to figure out which Ruling Class tool will continue the irresistible, cancerous onslaught of government growth going down the road. President Obama declared Monday that his presidency “is not over” and that he’ll be occupying the White House for another five years. […]

Romney: Is Class Warfare Off The Table For My Campaign? Why, No: H–E–Double Pitchforks, No.

by Smitty Shapiro over at Big Government: Shapiro’s transcript needs a little editing. Romney does not drop the F-bomb. Romney says ‘current share’, not ‘fair share’. Is Romney making a dive for the middle prior to the election, a la #OccupyResoluteDesk? Absolutely. Can we expect a hard left rudder from Romney after a victory, like […]

Newt Gingrich won it. He was the only candidate who repeatedly steered the questions […]

Have the Deciders Decided? Examining the Post-Debate Examinations

JOHNSTOWN, Ohio This morning, I woke up and switched on Fox & Friends and watched them bring on Mitt Romney’s proxy Chris Christie to lead the 8 a.m. hour. Steve Doocy’s first question to Christie — this is from memory, but close enough to an exact quote that I’ll put it inside quotation marks — […]

$5 Fuel By Mid-March?

by Smitty My per-gallon prices for diesel: Date $/Gal 2/14/12 3.899 2/23/12 4.294 A dumb linear regression shows that I’ll break $5/gallon by mid-March. The good news for #OccupyResoluteDesk is that high energy costs are only the President’s fault in a Republican administration. And why is that evil raaaaacist zombie George Bush doing this to […]
