Ramen In The Jell-O Makes It Easier To Nail To The Wall

by Smitty Some ramen noodles, orange Jell-O, nails, and a plank; that’s my visual representation of the professional output of one of Maryland’s finest, Steny Hoyer. After riding shotgun in the clown car that was the Congress That Shall Live In Infamy, Hoyer sports the stones to wonder aloud if the butt hurt over passing […]

An Obama Lexicon

For those who are not yet fluent in Obama-ese: compromise – (1) verb – [when applied to Republicans] to surrender; (2) verb – [when applied to Democrats] to pretend to negotiate lead – verb – to provide a plan plan – (1) noun – teleprompted platitudes unencumbered by specific goals or means of execution; (2) […]

Yeah, It’s Time For The Circle Jerks
