‘Puter didn’t realize that The Gormogons had become a sports blog. Since we’re now opining on sport generally, ‘Puter’s weighing in. ‘Puter’s favorite sports to watch are, in descending order: (1) ice hockey; (2) college basketball in conference games and … Continue reading →
Allow the Czar to make a slight rebuttal to GorTechie’s otherwise brilliant post. This rebuttal is only to clarify some potentially disparaging remarks made about baseball, a “past time” near and dear to the Czar’s heart. We played it as … Continue reading →
‘Puter’s more than passingly familiar with the financial services industry, the industry being pummeled the hardest (and deservedly so) by the current downturn. As such, ‘Puter’s been thinking about the many companies that have failed, and any commonalities among them. … Continue reading →
Let me make a rebuttal to the Volgi’s post here. And let me say that one could take Mr. Webb’s post as somewhat of tongue-in-cheek – but I’ll take him at his own words: “For those who think I jest…“. … Continue reading →
Because of his magnificent, “How Soccer is Ruining America: A Jeremiad.” Confucius, Œc. Vol.Don’t ask impertinent questions like that jackass Adept Lu. 3.14.242.153
Continue reading →Great piece in the WSJ today. One doubts he’s seen the Volgi’s latest screed against Putin and our feckless Russian diplomacy, so it’s gratifying to see him making some of the same points. He goes further, however, in presenting evidence … Continue reading →
Offended by the Volgi’s comments about the low standards of discourse in much of the Muslim world? My bad: Another installment in my “why not let these people have a nuclear weapon, what can possibly go wrong” series. “The Zionists … Continue reading →
I love, love, love this story. Hmm…. but does he really think it means “Samurai” or “Dragon soul”? The story is a bit inconsistent. Or does he really know his tattoo 外人 really means “foreigner” and is he just yanking … Continue reading →
It’s weird how relevent the Gomorgons website is to every single thing the Czar thinks about. His six-year-old Царевич has recently completed a Lenten sacrifice by watching all six Star Wars episodes in their entirety (that means without wandering off … Continue reading →
America needs a good, functional intelligence community now more than ever. With the fiscal problems looming, there is cause for concern for instability and aggression from a variety of fronts. One only has to look back at some of the … Continue reading →

Stephen Schwartz, who’s written for years (not inaccurately) about the tolerant, cosmopolitan Islam of the Balkans may have to insert “historically” before “tolerant,” as he provides evidence that in both Bosnia (subscriber-only for now) and Kosovo, the forces of radical … Continue reading →
With his unique brand of Republican analysis! During our Bermuda summit many gambits were proposed to win back America’s elite electoral precincts from the left; sponsoring various hip hop colloquia at the better Ivies, supporting integration of gays into Nascar, … Continue reading →
So, your Volgi is on record as saying that the Obamas’ sending their kids to Sidwell while opposing school choice is pardonable hypocrisy. I’m starting to rethink. Because apparently the one government program that needs to be cut in the … Continue reading →
I’m shocked that Ghettoputer, in his pointing to a story about a D.C. bus driver’s sucker-punching McGruff the Crime Dog (or, more accurately, the cop in the costume. Tough for you, Busman.), didn’t impress upon the world his long-held theory … Continue reading →
GorT goes berserk, making little children cry. As an aside, the whole incident reminds ‘Puter of that absolutely disturbing CSI episode about PAFCon (plushies and furries convention, for those not in the know like The Volgi), wherein grown folks get … Continue reading →

So I remember G.H.W. Bush being pilloried for zipping around in a cigarette boat during Desert Storm, and G.W. said he gave up playing golf as it’d look bad during wartime. Now, I understand that only Republicans behave like callous, … Continue reading →
Your Volgi is having trouble rousing himself to write about the Obama Administration‘s apparent, asinine gambit of writing to the Russian government and offering to remove the missile-defense systems we’ve worked so hard to get installed in Poland and the … Continue reading →
An update to this post. A day after nonsense allegations that racism is the reason openly self-confessed corrupt Senator Roland Burris enjoys single digit approval ratings, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has suddenly backed off his demand for a special election … Continue reading →
In celebration of Black History Month (‘Puter’s always late), ‘Puter offers the following quote from fellow D.C. Area native (although, forcibly so) and Upstater by Choice, Mr. Frederick Douglass. I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, … Continue reading →
You know what’s great about participating on a blog like this? The Czar can do only minutes of research and make an outrageous conclusion based on that. Know what’s evidently easier? Being an economic columnist for U.S. News & World … Continue reading →
While I disagree with some of the things Sen. McCain has done and I think his campaign staff or advisers derailed him a bit last year, at least he’s good at calling out wasteful spending. Specifically, Sen. McCain quoted POTUS … Continue reading →
With the triumphant downfall of Governor Rod Blagojevich, in which most of Springfield allegedly threw shoes at his toppled statue, most national attention has finally slipped away from Illinois. Major outlets have concluded that, at last, things are quiet in … Continue reading →
No sooner does the DoD release the new FM 3-36 Electronic Warfare in Operations manual, than someone evidently reads it. Check this out: we detect and respond to a “malicious” source in Iran reading detailed blueprints for a helicopter in … Continue reading →
The Czar is not surprised by the discovery that German readers are flocking to our site in record numbers due to the phrase “sex milking.” Of course, this is a mistaken reference to an actual post on this site with … Continue reading →
What’s one of the main contributors to New York City’s impending collapse? Constitutionally protected state worker (union) pensions. In this column in today’s New York Post, Mayor Michael Bloomberg offers his worthless solution: create a new pension tier. Currently, there … Continue reading →
We Gormogons had a noticeable uptick in traffic from Germany yesterday. Turns out, Germans are reaching our site when they search the term “sex milking.” Seriously, Germany. Get help. Right now. *N.B. The Gormogons are starting a new policy to … Continue reading →
I really need a job where I can claim to be something and then not take the time to actually learn the terminology or underpinnings of the actual work…and succeed! But maybe it’s the honest Eagle Scout in me that … Continue reading →
Your Czar is not one to whine, Andy Rooney-like, about the inconveniences of modern living, but the Czar has just paid some bills, and since the Gormogons have seen fit to reward him with blog-like powers, the Czar shall use … Continue reading →

Bloomberg reports that POTUS Obama wishes to redefine the US efforts in Afghanistan. Of interest to the Czar is the President’s concern about the needs of the poppy growers. “You know, what are we doing to replace poppy crops for … Continue reading →
I’m generally dismissive of Hollywood for various reasons. One is that they seem to kill or bury good, original shows. Some may be construed as “cheesy” but there are a few good ones out there among the putrid reality shows. … Continue reading →
We’re increasingly a nation of whiny little babies who don’t believe success ought to be earned. Ruben Navarrette, Jr. posts an excellent column concerning student’s growing sense of entitlement to success, regardless of ability. According the study cited by Mr. … Continue reading →
Ah, Czar, where have you been all my life? ‘Puter thinks this post is mostly correct. One quibble, though, which may be more a matter of semantics than a meaningful difference. ‘Puter thinks adherents of hard core liberalism treat their … Continue reading →
