Has anyone checked to see if this guy is sitting in his office in a Che Guevera beret snorting coke on his non-golf days? I’m quite serious about this. The man is in need of some sort of intervention.

SuperBowl Sunday observations
1. Commercials: No, I don’t have a problem with Nationwide and their dead boy commercial. It was jarring, it was a buzzkill, and it may have pissed people off. But it’s Nationwide’s money, and — for all the negative feedback it’s getting as perhaps the worst SuperBowl ad in history — it has people talking, and most of them are only pretending to talk about how horrible and inappropriate it

“Swastikas sprayed on Jewish fraternity building near UC Davis campus” [Darleen Click]
Incident comes two days after the Associated Students of UC Davis passed an advisory resolution asking the regents participate in the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

#WarOnBoys — 4th grader suspended for possessing The One Ring on school grounds [Darleen Click]
We’ve only just completed January and the competition for Most Stupid Thing of The Year is off to a roaring start. I believe this is at least even money with the Army defeated by “chinks in the armor“. Tolkien lore led a Texas boy to suspension after he brought his “one ring” to school. Kermit Elementary School officials called it a threat when the 9-year-old boy, Aiden Steward, in a

I blame the Obama Admin & their niggardly budgeting towards a robust Army [Darleen Click]
… an Army that can be defeated by a kerfuffle on Twitter … The U.S. Army has deleted a tweet that used the term “chinks” in armor after people freaked out that the same word can be used in a completely different context as a racial slur against people of Chinese descent. “Chinks in special ops’ digital and physical armor poses challenges, experts say,” the tweet read, followed by a

Liberal writer discovers resurgent PC movement is essentially illiberal in ideology
— And though he does his best to present its illiberal aspects as at least minimally intellectually justifiable — using perverse grievance politics and self-fulfilling prophecies about power relations themselves belied by the outsized wielding of power over discourse the self-styled oppressed and marginalized possess — in the end what is revealed is what I’ve been writing about here consistently since the inception of this site back in 2001, and

Romney says he isn’t running; Bush, Christie now the new “inevitable” nominee contenders
But hey, we can take care of that, I think. After all, Christie has overseen NJ’s credit-rating tanks, and Bush — well, Common Core, amnesty, “center-rightest,” et al. Both fit this description perfectly: ” he is the wrong man at the wrong time representing the wrong people.” Then of course, there’s Princess Lindsey. Who is a McCain favorite. And there’s nothing more important in a GOP primary than the imprimatur
