Will No One Rid Us Of This Troglodyte And His Osama Theories?

by Smitty That didn’t take long. Sir Lance of the Boil is already out trolling for linkage, dragging foul ichor about the floors and generally stinking up the joint. Of course Osama is alive, Lance! He’s cruising with Elvis in Bigfoot’s UFO! (A reference only maybe Belvedere will catch.) Seriously, Trog: don’t you trust the […]

Selecting The Next Bob Dole Proving More Than A Trifle Tedious

by Smitty American Power picks up on the quest for more 2012 GOP candidates. Rubio’s firm withdrawal matches Christie’s. Who, then (emphasis mine)?
