Listen To Jackson, Not SNL, On BHO

by Smitty This was the butt-end of SNL on 18 February, and what and obsequious act of drool-bucketry we have, as a talk show host pretends to reinforce with two guests that there is no act that #OccupyResoluteDesk could do which is so heinous that any of the three would fail to prostrate themselves before […]

The Last Time I Got a Cold …

. . . it turned into pneumonia, and therefore I took alarm when I got a runny nose today. So I went to bed, figuring that the strain of coping with Post-CPAC Bloggers Gone Crazy Week (as I’ve begun to describe it) might be undermining my physical well-being. However, my wife surprised me this afternoon by […]

Professor Jacobson, Maybe We Should Both Start Blogging About Sports …

. . . or movies or food or something besides politics, because right now we are diametrically opposite and neutralizing each other: Should the race come down to Santorum or Romney, I’d have to think about it, as shocking as that may sound given my criticisms of Romney.

It is not essential that a TV newsreader grasp the meaning of what is being reported . . . What is essential is that the viewers […]

Is Troglopundit A Stealth Kennedy?

Yet this Week in Automotivators features Lancelot du Bog seeming to hint at some deeper coincidence than the superficial. There might be time later to ponder the hidden message here, but right now the black helicopters […]

‘. . .He Leaves Very Big Shoes To Fill,’ Kennedy Said

by Smitty So says Joe Kennedy III in a campaign video, opting to run for the seat vacated by the unlamented Barney Frank. It may be that the Kennedy brand has recovered from the passing of Ted.
