Know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away

I go to a Mad Men blog these days to chill out from politics.  If you follow Mad Men, you know that Betty Draper found out who her husband really is and that, added to all of the other emotional insults she’s taken over the years, has forced her to come to some decisions in [...]

Trying to stick a “Far Left” label on Righteous Indignation

The New York Times Opinionator blog aggregator has detected a nascent revolt in the Democratic party.  The Times is only 18 months late.  The PUMAs were ahead of the curve the day the DNC RBC knifed its own voters and installed Barack Obama as the nominee over the objections of slightly more than half of [...]

Don’t blame Islam

Witnesses to the shootings in Fort Hood are reporting that Major Hasan, the shooter, shouted Allahu Akbar while he was shooting.  I don’t know whether this has been confirmed or not.  But even if it is true, there was only one shooter in Ft. Hood and no one’s God was on his side.  Dr. Hasan [...]

Election Night Blogging II: Christie is NJ’s New Governor

Well, it looks like this is not a good night for the Democrats or the current occupant of the White House.  Republicans have won the governor’s mansion in VA, Gracie Mansion in NYC and it looks like they are going to pick up Drumthwackit in New Jersey as well. (It’s official,  Christie won.  No, I’m [...]

The Supernanny Inspired Guide to Politics: Vote for Daggett

Voters’ Meeting
I have spent some time observing your country, taken a look around.  First, I’d like to say that you are the owners of a wonderful country.  It is bright, vibrant, diverse.  It has a lot of potential.
However…
You are letting your politicians walk all over you.  They ignore you when you tell them what to [...]

Mad Men: Three Ibsen Plays

Dramatic Literature was my first English credit at college and I remember thinking that it was really fun but totally useless.  When was I ever going to use it?  Apparently, it was a concept waiting for an application.
Decades later, Matt Weiner created Mad Men.  I started watching Mad Men in the second season, just before [...]

Speaking real slllooooowww to fellow liberals on how Big Satan works

Jeez, I hate having to be the frickin’ mouthpiece of Big Satan but $%&* like this really ticks me off.  It’s from SusieMadrak’s site on another Big Satan initiative:
No requirement for generic versions of high-priced breast cancer drugs. In fact, the bill sweetens the pot for Big Pharma by extending patents on those drugs every [...]

This Week in Big Satan: Franken, Ads, Layoffs and Brainstorming

Let me start with a dream I had last night.  I was at work and some weird guy in black clothing and a funky hairstyle started following me around.  I mean, REALLY following me, like getting closer and closer until we were almost touching.  He started to feel like a shadow.  It was unnerving and [...]

Daggett wins second debate for NJ Governor

I got a call the other day from the Daggett campaign, the independent candidate for governor of New Jersey, to meet for a rally before the second and last debate in the race.  The debate was yesterday at William Paterson University in Totowa NJ.  All of the usual suspects were there.  Corzine’s crew brought in [...]

Booman Writes a Stupid Post

He waves his tiny fists and wails.  Like we care.
If you supported Obama during the primaries, you know who you are and this does not necessarily apply to you. For the rest of you, you spent the primaries either shilling for Clinton and telling us our guy was all talk and no show, or you [...]
