Me, Myself and I »

President Obama’s epic egotism is reaching such stratospheric heights that it now rivals that of even the mighty John Edwards, self-proclaimed Most Beautiful Man Alive™.

How Well Do You Know Yourself? »

Apologies all for my prolonged absence - getting married, changing jobs, moving apartments and turning 30 years old are to blame (and, just in case you were wondering, they were awesome, good, not so good and great, respectively).
And while I’m at it, forgive me also for flogging a dead horse with the above.

Too Jewish For Iran »

President Obama doesn’t only bow to the Saudi king.
He’s now bowing to the theocracy in Iran as well, by spinelessly acquiescing to their demand to remove Dennis Ross from his position as US envoy.

I Govern As I Have Lived »

Which is to say irresponsibly.
Some people think that the personal lives of politicians do not matter - that if they can discharge their duties satisfactorily while in office, then “trifling” matters in their private lives are of little account.
Wrong.
Insights into the hidden lives of politicians give the electorate a far more accurate impression of the [...]

The Decline And Fall Of Democracy »

I’m starting to develop thoughts that have never previously held any appeal to me.
I’m beginning to hope that our political system collapses. That it all comes down. Every last part of it.

Smoot-Hawley Strikes Back »

While many of our elected representatives have the intellectual prowess of Rep. Corrine Brown (that is to say, they’ve barely completed elementary school), many also attended the finest universities in the world.
Where they seemingly learned nothing.

For Beauty Is God’s Handwriting »

Horoscopes, astrology, numerology, palm reading, tarot cards (awesome though they are), tea leaves, sacrificial entrails, crystal ball gazing, scattering of bones, psychics, witchdoctors, etc, are all BS.
They may make for good plot devices, but as far as relevance to the real world goes? Right up there with “climate change.”
But handwriting. Now we’re talking.

Kneecappings Are Making A Comeback »

In normal times, Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis’ buffoonery would have garnered more critical public attention.
But these are not normal times. These are the times of hope’n’change.
So, Hilda’s inadequateness goes largely without comment as we try not to drown beneath the flood of bizarre goings-on within the Obama administration.
But she’s doing her best to [...]

Checking The Right Boxes »

(Bumped up from this morning)

Given last November’s election result, qualifications obviously have little relevance any more.
And why not? What do qualifications, y’know, those certificates of education, achievement and intelligence, actually tell us about someone that we cannot infer from that person’s smile, charisma and, dare I say it, skin color?

Recession For Thee, Not Me »

Some things can never be repeated too many times.
One such example is how Michelle Obama, showing the common touch of Queen Marie Antoinette, idiotically stated that President Bush’s $600 personal stimulus was only good for buying a pair of earrings.
Now it transpires that Michelle was wearing a pair of trainers worth $540 while volunteering at [...]

Unlearn What You Know »

Some people have brains. Some have exceptional skills. Some hate-worthy individuals have two or all of the above. And then there’s Janet Napolitano, who has none.
She has consciously stuffed her considerable frame with nothing but empty platitudes, vacuous double-speak and orthodox political correctness.
[Editor's Note: Except when she blames Canada for 9/11 -- [...]

Nobel Prize Nominee »

From Track’s blog on April 3, 2009. Wish I’d seen this sooner, but, really, it’s timeless. Warning: Have no beverages or food in your mouth when you view the last image. - Susan

Once you’ve done something for the first time, it’s always easier the second time around. And with that shallow justification, I [...]

Ahead Of Their Time »

Please welcome Track-A-’Crat who just moved to D.C. and, surely to stave off the loneliness of living in a city where the only friend a man can count on is a dog, has begun a very amusing blog, Track-A-’Crat. - Susan

Boy, must the Democratic Party be peeved right now.
