N.H.: Hillary Will Lose, But What Difference, at This Point, Does It Make?

  Polls forecast a defeat for Clinton tonight: Donald Trump continues to lead the Republican race in New Hampshire on the eve of the vote, the final CNN/WMUR tracking poll finds. On the Democratic side of the race, it remains Bernie Sanders’ primary to lose, with the Vermont senator holding a 26-point lead over Hillary […]

The Iowa Caucus Is Rape Culture

Does that headline make sense? Of course not, but I’ve been reading so much feminist literature lately, I’ve come to realize that expecting headlines to make sense is patriarchal oppression. “Shut the f–k up! Because patriarchy!” To a feminist, everything is rape culture, and so the Iowa caucus must be part of it somehow. When […]

IOWA CAUCUS PREDICTION

Jeb Bush will lose. The question is, will he be crushed, embarrassed and humiliated so badly that he quits?

What inspires […]

Did I Forget to Mention #RollTide?

Alabama’s Tim Williams sacks Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook. Thursday afternoon, my son Jefferson and I were watching #1 Clemson beat #4 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, and we began to discuss the upcoming Cotton Bowl game between #2 Alabama and #3 Michigan State. My father graduated at Tuscaloosa in the Class of 1951, and […]

Schadenfreude For Greasy Terry

by Smitty While Virginia wasn’t bright enough to elect Ken Cuccinelli, it was also not quite stupid enough to give His Greasiness control of the Legislature. My godless Commie neighbors here in NOVA haven’t completely sodomized the Dominion. A little shout out to Greasy Terry: Heard pouring forth from the Virginia Governor's Mansion https://t.co/P0cKjI2njN @instapundit […]
