Many of us had surmised this — between the ambassador’s strange meetings, the nearby annex, rumors of attempts to recover ground to air missile launchers, etc., — the whole story has never added up. And a man still sits in jail for a video, his government at the highest levels, with pre-knowledge of his innocence,  having determined to use him as a scapegoat in order to hide their own massive

We in the literary field refer to headlines like the one chosen by ALG litotes. I can’t remember when it was — maybe a week or so back — but I predicted that John McCain might single-handedly (well, with some reach around help from Princess Lindsay, natch) bring down the GOP. Frankly?  I hope the old dust-farting phony and angry statist tyrant does just that.  Kind of like nuking it

I know. I, too, was stunned.  I mean, when’s the last time leftist theoreticians have taken over control of governed institutions, implemented social engineering policies that essentially promote special dispensations for favorited specialty group enclaves, and the result hasn’t been a kind of United Colours of Benetton quilted Utopia of culturally diverse bliss? So sure, things may not be working out now.  But you can’t blame the racialists or the

(With thanks to Bacon Ninja on Twitter for that apt description).  I don’t know what it is, really.  I mean, I’m a real charmer when I wish to be.  And yet I seem to cause certain personality types no end of grief — and with each new attempt to counter me or wound me with their words, things just seem to get worse and worse for them until, at long

This call for contributions goes out, lonely, into the vast empty wilderness of a once teeming cyberspace solar system drawn inextricably to the force of the protein wisdom sun.  Such illumination!  Such heat! But then those stupid, jut-jawed aliens with the heads shaped like schlongs and acid for blood were set loose, and as a result, cyber space  is a cold and “realist” wasteland, where John McCain now essentially runs

Courtesy NetRightDaily:  “If Republicans oppose Obamacare, why do they keep voting to fund it?” Of course, NRD doesn’t necessarily treat the question as rhetorical.  After all, a column that poses the question and then simply posts a smirking emoticon giving teabaggers the finger isn’t going to fill space.  But we know they probably would if they could. Instead, they explore the question a bit, even taking the tack of pretending

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for!  To totally screw everything and sink the country, through our narcissistic, Gen X government, into a mirror of our own entitlement-riddled, faux esteem-bathed souls. Congrats, Hope and Changers!  Thank you, GOP establican status quo statists! In the decade from 1981 to 1990, according to the BEA, average annual growth in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 3.36 percent. In the decade from

I know this because I read the political media. And if you can’t trust the political media, whom can you trust? First, National Journal, which has become the Queen of GOP concern trolls (the King being either Jennifer Rubin or the entirety of the GOP establishment, depending on who you ask), with one of its bi-monthly stories suggesting the waning of the TEA Party and its influence.  Framed as a
