I Am Not Consumed With Jealousy!

I do not envy Paul Ryan’s perfect hair, excellent command of facts, sterling reputation, thick head of hair, political courage to dare suggest that Congress balance the budget before the sun burns out, or, for that matter, his rockin’ locks.

No, I am not jealous of posts like this. I just wish the pain would stop. Although, come to think of it, I may have a theory: Ryan has achieved his excellence by draining charisma from Troglopundit. This notion explains both of them in a single sentence.

Aren’t You Glad You Supported Newt?

Posted on | May 2, 2012 | 48 Comments

It was on Nov. 14 — when Newt Gingrich first emerged atop the polls — that I warned “Newt can’t beat Romney,” and further said that if, after the Florida primary, we were “left with a choice between Newt and Mitt, I’ll endorse Mitt.”

Thank God and Rick Santorum, it never came down to that, eh? By the time Santorum quit April 10, Gingrich had already made himself a ridiculous laughingstock, so that the continuance of his pathetic shuffling zombie campaign resulted in his final humiliation in Delaware.

Wait, did I say “final humiliation”? Spoke too soon:

President Obama’s campaign deployed an unusual surrogate to attack presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in a new Web video: Republican Newt Gingrich.
The video released Wednesday, titled “Newt Gingrich: Frankly, not Mitt Romney’s biggest supporter,” details a long list of attacks by the former House Speaker on Romney’s business experience, Swiss bank account, immigration policy and accusations of dishonesty and an inability to rally the party.

Look, some of my best friends — genuinely intelligent people — sincerely thought Newt was the ticket to ride. My warnings went unheeded, and my occasional reminders serve only to increase their rage . . . at me.

Why me? Why aren’t they mad at Newt? Why make me the scapegoat for Newt’s predictable failure? Why punish me for having been right?

But if I keep thinking about it, the dark mood will return, and next thing you know . . . Well, not today. It wouldn’t be pretty.

Please, I beg you: Hit the freaking tip jar!

Obama Voter Lovitz Shows That All Thought Is Not Lost For Dems

Preach it, Jon Lovitz:

Admit it. You know somebody who voted for Barack in 2008 who badly needs to come clean and repent of their silliness.

Harrison Schultz must bethink himself quite the hipster:

I’ve got some lads in uniform in Afghanistan right now that could calibrate this little jackwagon, post-haste.

Ron Paul, Basketball Star? Watch Him Dribble Paul Krugman, Shoot 3-Pointer.

This is just excellent.

Ron Paul actually walks back his position in End the Fed, which is highly interesting.
Krugman, you miserable eclownomist, just retire: “I don’t believe in monetary policies that perpetuate depression.” Yes, you do. Fool.

Insults Too Grievous to Be Borne Gladly

Posted on | May 2, 2012 | 18 Comments

The dark mood is on me again, and I keep stumbling across occasions to remember injuries and insults heaped up like a gigantic mountain of humiliation. An inferno of rage burns in my gut, and restraining it takes a constant, conscious effort that exhausts me.

Serial betrayals by backstabbing two-faced “friends” — well, I must put it out of my mind, if possible.

Today, I’ve got business offline that will keep me away from the blog most of the day, and I’ll try to cool my temper. Eventually, some liberal will say or do something stupid, and will regret it: Looks like you done pissed off the wrong redneck today, buster.

Meanwhile, remember me in your prayers.

UPDATE: So now I’m blogging from a coffee shop in downtown D.C.  — got a few meetings today — and what’s the first thing I see when I log on?

Troglopundit wants some of this pent-up rage. Listen here, you overgrown Pleistocene throwback: It’s not my fault the diminutive hipster douchebag Sean Hackbarth moved to D.C. and thereby deprived you of your status as the Second Ugliest Blogger in Wisconsin. Stop blaming me for everything, OK? Blame Telford!

UPDATE II: Helpful advice from Bill Quick:

Well, try not to strangle anybody in the business deal. That’s usually a deal breaker.

Thanks, Bill. Such a reaction would probably be frowned on by the guys with wires in their ears. Kind of an important meeting. IYKWIMAITYD.

While The #Occupier-In-Chief Flitted Off To Central Asia, #Occupy Shambled On

While BHO separated himself as far as  physically possible from the tanked economy, the #Occupy hippies celebrated Victims of Communism Day with their usual brand of dangerous idiocy:

In Cleveland, a few of them tried going a little farther than throwing paint at police stations. The FBI announced today that they arrested five “anarchists” last night after breaking up a conspiracy to blow up a Cuyahoga bridge and four other targets today

American Glob has a fine roundup of the video and blog posts.

If President Barack Obama deserves any credit for the takeout of bin Laden, then he certainly deserves to eat the dog that is #Occupy. This movement represents the culmination of the societal decay that BHO was supposed to fix. Somehow. And yet, as always, he achieves the opposite of his stated objectives.

Can we still blame Bush, or did that dog get eaten before it could hunt again?

Blog Favorite Sean Bielat Rocking MA-4

Posted on | May 1, 2012 | 7 Comments

Stacy forwarded this tidbit about Tea Party favorite Sean Bielat:

Another important milestone was reached on April 11th, when the campaign officially collected enough petition signatures to qualify Sean for the ballot. Sean personally submitted the signatures to the Elections Division at the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s offices in Boston yesterday, almost two months ahead of the deadline.


This blog has no idea if he’s 1/32nd Iroquois or not, but that wouldn’t matter anyway, because he’s 100% American!

Sean Bielat for Congress!
