“Capricious”: Obama’s GM Power Grab »

See, this is what worries me most. As Nocturnal Warrior said over and over again tonight on his otherwise light and hilarious show, we have the “Resume President.” And this move was solely because Obama’d been perceived as soft on AIG, so he wanted to be seen as tough, and add “Tough Guy” to his [...]

Wither Goest Your Sex Fantasies? * Open Thread »

No, I’m not Doctor Ruth. I’m just a flabbergasted former subscriber to the New York Times who read THIS Judith Warner drivel (which cannot be news or even worthy of commentary) the other day in that once-esteemed, once-great newspaper: The other night I dreamt of Barack Obama. He was taking a shower right when I [...]

Is Barack Obama on the Precipice of Becoming Jimmy Carter? »

We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off.
