Ok, I don’t read Slate outside of Hitchens much because, well, I’m not a pseudo-intellectual poseur. But this article was brought to my attention in which some jackass argues that mentioning Barack Obama’s thin build is crypto-bigotry. What genius detective … Continue reading →

Hey, ‘Puter, sorry about your weight problem, but it’s only going to get worse for you avoirdupois-wise sitting in traffic in Truckasaurus going both ways to see a Bills-Argos doubleheader at their joint home, the Rogers Centre. T-Bills logo lifted … Continue reading →
Apparently, now you can be too fat to die, no matter what you’ve done. Thank goodness. Now Azrael, the angel of death, won’t have to come and harvest Ghettoputer’s corpulent self too soon. I’ve got too many good years of … Continue reading →
Guess who thinks Iran’s a paper tiger? That’s right, Qaddhâfî. Don’t forget to stop by his website. Humanitarian that he is, he wants to ban machine guns! Wonder why. And don’t forget Ahmadî-Nezhâd’s blog. Do check out the awesome “e-mails … Continue reading →
Interesting op-ed in the WSJ today from a former UNSCOM bio-weapons guy arguing essentially that the anthrax in the attacks was weaponized in such a sophisticated fashion it’s unlikely Ivins—or any individual—could have produced it. Which leaves state sponsorship (or … Continue reading →
Tick tick tick. In general, I think the nuttiness of the Islamic Republic is overstated—they generally comport themselves like most rational state actors. However, their rationality has led them to believe that aggression, particularly through proxy terrorism, is rewarding. Consequently, … Continue reading →

Amanda Peet is my new favorite actor, and for reasons other than the ones showcased in her photo. Since I generally detest actors, it’s really not that much of an achievement to make the list. However, Ms. Peet’s refreshing candor … Continue reading →
Mr. Ghettoputer, In reviewing your exam, I was troubled by your absolute misunderstanding of Constitutional Law. Of course, noting your less than stellar attendance record, and further noting that on the few occasions you deigned to grace my class with … Continue reading →
Let me add my congratulations to GorT’s to Art Monk and Darrell Green, two of the emblematic—perhaps the two most emblematic—personalities of the first, great Joe Gibbs era in Washington. Both men were consummate professionals, utterly dedicated, profoundly humble, and … Continue reading →
Man, Ghettoputer is back and on fire with blogging ninjitsu. Truly he is a ninja and a pirate rolled into one. In an attempt to keep up the side, I’ve provided a new quiz to the left. Enjoy the question, … Continue reading →
Taking the challenge of the Notorious OEV (forgive my lack of font knowledge), Ghettoputer took The Good Junior Senator From Illinois’ Constitutional Law exam over his Delmarva Vacation Extravaganza. The following is the text of his answers. PART I. Under … Continue reading →
Cab Calloway, a fellow Upstater born in scenic Rochester (motto – Made for Leavin’), wrote a song about the greedy and powerful public sector unions strangling my adopted state. He called it Many the Moochers. Well, not really, but were … Continue reading →
Pictured are two of the classiest guys to ever play in the National Football League and they were finally, formally recognized (one way later than he should have been) in Canton, Ohio this past weekend. Both speeches were moving, I … Continue reading →
In fact, Ghettoputer, no you’re not the first. If I’m remembering right, Jonathan Last had a cover story on it in The Weekly Standard. Confucius, Œc. Vol.Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu. 3.14.242.153

After a week or so of vacation in the scenic Delmarva Peninsula (home of Frank Perdue (“it takes a tough man to make a tender chicken”)), Ghettoputer is back and ready for more of the same! In spite of the … Continue reading →
Although I have to note, GorT, that that’s Japanese. The Mandarin equivalent is 鬼子, kuei-tzu*, or 洋鬼子 yang kuei-tzu specifically for Europeans, or less offensively, 老外, lao-wai. *Wade-Giles is the official romanization of the Gormogons. But it’s guĭzi for those … Continue reading →
Hero of the Great Patriotic War. Hero-revelator of the Gulag. Hero of literature. Lover of Russia and Her church. Gone to his reward at 89. Да упокоится съ миромъ (Pictured with Margaret Thatcher at Downing Street, 1983) Confucius, Œc. Vol.Don’t … Continue reading →
They’ve got 3,600 hours of Olympics on tap. And, as you say, maybe they’ll bother showing the shooting sports rather than thinking, in some bizarro leap of logic, “If people see shooters using $10,000 target pistols to punch holes in … Continue reading →
I’m a big fan of the Olympics, I watch just about any Olympic event, yes, any…try me. Plus, it’s a great excuse to enjoy HiDef channels. Hopefully, NBC won’t disappoint by showing Law & Order:ReRun while there are plenty of … Continue reading →
…good leadership? You mean just because the two major parties have nominated since 1996 a priapic narcissist, a cynical dealmaker, a political tyro of a governor with a familiar last name and a very loose handle on the rudiments of … Continue reading →
First, I think we’re in a dearth of good leadership (maybe it’s the cycle we’re in) in general and I’m not a big fan of how the American political system has created “politician” as a career. Second, maybe the execution … Continue reading →
From his vacation, Ghettoputer sent this lovely family picture. Apparently they’re enjoying the fall up there, visiting the relatives on Prince Edward Island! Picture lifted from Kissing Suzy Kolber. Confucius, Œc. Vol.Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu. … Continue reading →
I forgot to mention it, but yesterday was the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola (né Íñigo Oñez López de Loyola), a patron of the Gormogons and arguably the most influential Basque in the history of the world. We hope … Continue reading →
Hey, hey, kids, anyone remember the anthrax murders after 9/11? And how the FBI has pretty much spun its wheels for years, concentrating on the wrong guy? Well, lookee here. Seems they moved on to another suspect who promptly offed … Continue reading →
…seems pretty dubious to me, or at least a small factor in a much larger picture (since history records, e.g., Greenland’s being green). But the story GorT cites just reminds me of the old joke about the nuclear-launch error that … Continue reading →
