S&P Downgrades US Credit Rating

Historic! What’s left to say, really? Hobbits rule, GOP establishment / Democrats / inside the Beltway pundit class both left and right, drool. Somebody do me a favor and send Bill Kristol a nice fancy cheese log. **** update: I honestly can’t get over the audacity. J Pod, Commentary: The Left will and is already blaming the Tea Party and Republicans. The Right will and is blaming the growth of

"John Kerry Requests That The Media Quit Giving 'Fair And Balanced' Coverage To Idiots (A.K.A. The Tea Party)"

The First Amendment is for purists and extremists, evidently. And sensible, sober, realistic political thinkers like John Kerry know when it’s time to call a Hobbit a Hobbit and boot those hairy-footed, do-gooder midgets back to the idealistic fantasy land that belched them forth, lest people begin taking them too seriously as an alternative to the sensible, sober, realistic political establishment — one that believes unemployment benefits create jobs, and

The debt subject to the statutory limit shot way past the old cap of $14.294 trillion to hit $14.532 trillion on Tuesday, according to the

Representative government

Sorry, but I’m beginning to think that one of the greatest failings of the Founders and Framers is that they didn’t provide we the People a trigger by which we would be allowed to sedate all of our elected officials, dump them into a dark, dank pit, and then seal them inside with about three dozen honey badgers.

"The Inexplicables"

VDH examines denizens of the left, and manages to do so without calling them racist Nazi psychopaths stuck in the anal stage, suffering from both addiction and a fantastical, phantasmagoric cultural nostalgia that causes them to pine away for a lost cultural innocence and purity that never actually existed, but rather is a projected mythos to which they cling like so many hillbilly bronze beetles to a wizened birch. Which,
