In A World Where…
An absolutely excellent post on why POTUS Obama makes sense…from the standpoint of a filmmaker doing a trailer for a dud picture. Your Czar is almost alarmed at how closely this all matches up. The Czar of MuscovyБожію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, … Continue reading →
‘Puter is Evil
By now, we’ve all seen the first American recipient of a face transplant. The woman’s story is horrible. She was shot in the face by her husband in an attempted murder-suicide, destroying much of the middle of her face. ‘Puter, … Continue reading →
Just Ask Anyone
Unions destroy companies and hurt workers. Unless, of course, you ask a union hack, quoted in the same post. Also, see, e.g., Los Angeles being required by union rules to pay teachers millions of dollars not to teach while disciplinary … Continue reading →
Seriously
‘Puter’s coming back into work from lunch this afternoon, and what does he behold, but a bike chained to a tree with the anchor chain from the U.S.S. Enterprise (and not the “fun, watchable” Enterprise). See attached photo. The bike … Continue reading →

Wait, Theres More!
The Czar needed help with this one. Read this AP release first. The Czar did, and wondered what the hell this was about. The French government wants to shut down internet access to people who repeatedly steal copyrighted material? Good … Continue reading →
I didn’t know there were girls on the Bears!

Well, ‘Twas A Nice Thought
The Democratic leadership is clearly in complete freefall, and running in a blind panic, as the Senate strips Specter of seniority. See also Ghettoputer’s post below.The Czar makes this leap of logic because the media announced the GOP was in … Continue reading →
Re: Michelle, Ma Belle
Has it come to this pass that we have to specifically single out and praise a First Lady for acting like all 44 of her predecessors? Or that silence about a person of the opposite party implies contempt? If so, … Continue reading →
Michelle, Ma Belle
‘Puter feels mildly nauseated for writing this, but here goes anyway. To date, to the best of ‘Puter’s knowledge (which his fellow Gormogons will quickly correct), First Lady Michelle Obama has been an acceptable and non-controversial First Lady. This is … Continue reading →
Instant Karma

What has permeated our society?
Let me begin by saying that I’m going to tread lightly in this post for a variety of reasons, the largest of them being: (a) I’m referring to an incident at my place of employment and (b) it’s a sensitive … Continue reading →

Democrats and School Choice
Remember next time they’re trying to sell you “green” energy or socialized medicine “for the children” or “for the little guy.” They don’t care about people, only power over them and the ability to reward client groups. Children? Eff ’em. … Continue reading →
Stupid-Looking Mirror!
The Czar is not certain whether there is a “Rule Number One” in journalism. Actually, there may not even be an ennumerated list of journalism rules at all, although the Czar would suspect that there could be a hip bullet … Continue reading →

‘Puter Is (Still) Always Right
Unfortunately, Czar and Volgi doubt ‘Puter’s omniscience. For this heresy, there must be punishment, swift and severe. ‘Puter is dispatching to Czar and Volgi each their own personal Popobawa, which demon will torment them nightly. And ‘Puter stands by his … Continue reading →
