Gormogon Operative 24601 [code-name SVETLANA MONSOON] writes in about the latest cause célèbre in bunched-panties liberaldom. Yes, not since Tom Monaghan ran Domino’s Pizza and had the effrontery to give money to right-to-life causes has there been an opportunity to … Continue reading →

The key to discrediting a non-rationally held belief system is with equally a-rational emotions. Like ridicule. Laughter. Given that Globalwarmingism is effectively a cult impervious to evidence (no warming? Call it “climate change” and proceed without blinking), the Gormogons have … Continue reading →
Indeed, Happy Birthday, Grandma P! The Czar remembers her as a little girl, chasing the other kids around the Castle Gormogon. How she’s grown. The Czar knows that the ‘Puter is too modest to say, but his Grandmother pays her … Continue reading →

‘Puter’s favorite protest sign to date from the fustercluck known as health care reform. It was only a matter of time before the Obama Administration attempted to nationalize the deviant sexual practices industry, which, according to ‘Puter’s review of teh … Continue reading →

‘Puter’s short attention span has left him bored with ObamaCare. Here and here are two of ‘Puter’s favorite timewasters, guaranteed to make you forget all about ObamaCare for a while. And who can forget the Hasselhoffian Recursion? Don’t say ‘Puter … Continue reading →
Regular readers know that ‘Puter thinks health care is not a right. ‘Puter further defies you to show him where in the Constitution “health care” is mentioned, let alone “privacy” or “abortion.” But, back on point, ‘Puter does not think … Continue reading →
If ‘Puter were to attend a town hall meeting, ‘Puter would ask his representative or senator the following question: You state that the public option in pending legislation will increase, not limit, the health care options of all Americans. If … Continue reading →
Let us play a word substitution game, because you can learn a lot about someone by substituting analogues for what they say. And if they object, it’s only because they employ situation ethics. If you are unfamiliar with that phrase, … Continue reading →
Yeah, well, like most liberals, Mr. Jordan needs a history lesson. Tom Jordan attended the President’s town hall speech in New Hampshire today. Mr. Jordan, an Obama supporter and social studies teacher, does not understand some of the protest signs. … Continue reading →
It’s not a really big number, but this $30,000 issue is emblematic of New York’s fiscal woes. The New York Department of Labor paid 11 inmates $30,000 in unemployment benefits. Then again, maybe it’s not a mistake, but just another … Continue reading →
The Czar generally does not vacation to happy places. He did once, and was so delighted by what he found that he had the entire housekeeping staff gunned down. The Czar is not sure why he thought to say this, … Continue reading →
The Czar enjoyed a leisurely morning at the barber shop, getting his locks shorn and the dead lice combed out. That should last him another year or two. On the television, the WGOR morning news show was offering up a … Continue reading →
A 74 year old woman in Ouray, Colorado was mauled to death by a bear. Horrible, you say. Wrong. One Donna Munson spent much of her time violating Colorado law and feeding wild bears. One such bear (a 400 pounder, … Continue reading →
Behold! Indisputable evidence that Secretary of State Clinton, or someone very close to her, is a secret reader of your Gormogons. ‘Puter innocently enough posted this item, speculating that the Obama Administration used former President Clinton as an envoy to … Continue reading →
Gormogon Operative Mark writes Confucius*, apropos Gen. McPeak’s op-ed (which Confucius mainly posted to bash the general’s apparent fecklessness as a high-level advisor, but with the general thrust of which he agrees): Ask anyone who served in the Air Force … Continue reading →

There are many logical and practical reasons to oppose ObamaCare. Among the valid reasons to oppose ObamaCare are cost, coverage, rationing, effect on Medicare, etc. And despite Andrea Mitchell and Nancy Pelosi’s views, stating any of these concerns does not … Continue reading →
If you want to see more Democratic hypocrisy, you are in luck. You never need to wait long. Because remember: Obama is the science and technology president! Scientists celebrated that the Bush days of public lynchings of physicists, and underground … Continue reading →
Your Mandarin remembers an old saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If that is really true than Nancy Pelosi should be smiling from ear to ear. Rather she is very vexed that the “evil and vast” right-wing … Continue reading →
C’mon Dr. Krugman. Really? Today’s op-ed piece in the New York Times is the best you can do? For a Nobel laureate, it’s a really weak piece of work. Heavy on moral certainty, light on evidence. Dr. Krugman’s argument est … Continue reading →
Today’s Wall Street Journal carries an opinion piece by John S. Baker and Elliott Stonecipher stating their concern about counting illegal aliens in the 2010 census. Counting illegals will give California, according to the authors, 8 representative seats in Congress … Continue reading →

The Czar and the Царица were on official business in the far Southwest corner of the empire some days ago, and were heading back up I-55 North. The Царица was reading the news paper, and turned to the classified ads … Continue reading →
Only the New York Times would have the intentional blindness to consider Obama’s handling of North Korea a success. A success it is not. Bill Clinton kowtows and gets two jailed journalists freed, and it’s a miracle, for North Korea … Continue reading →
Democrats in the House order eight G5 Gulfstream jets for $550 million that will be used by the Pentagon to ferry around VIPs in Congress — even though the Pentagon says it does not need or want the planes. The … Continue reading →
Nancy Pelosi continues to misinterpret the pulse of America as a cool disco beat, when in reality it is fingers tapping in annoyance. Indeed, the thumping of drums may follow the August recess. In a story barely starting to get … Continue reading →
One of ‘Puter’s favorite columnists, Leonard Pitts, Jr. of the Miami Herald, penned this piece on race, conservatives and America. Read it. Do it now. ‘Puter will wait. ‘Puter reads Mr. Pitts’ column to state certain conservatives are using race … Continue reading →
‘Puter lives in Upstate New York, home of Buffalo wings, Genny Cream Ale and the Teamsters’ Pension Fund. Oh, and wickedly high property taxes. For example, ‘Puter pays nearly $8,000 annually on a house full value assessed at $194,000. ‘Puter … Continue reading →

So check this out. The US Air Force has toyed with the idea of putting a high powered laser on the nose of an aircraft for a long time. The problem with this is that air has enough particulate matter … Continue reading →
By now, you’ve seen (and possibly have done) one of those on-line political quizzes to see where your political views fall on a coaxial scale. Many Gormogons readers probably fall to the right of center. Some of our readers, of … Continue reading →
And now John Hughes is dead. Frankly, the Czar never thought much of his pictures, even when he was super-popular in the 1980s. He was pretty good at exploiting pop culture, making his movies worth seeing as little slices of … Continue reading →
CNN (and virtually every other media outlet) is reporting that newly-minted Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is the first Hispanic to sit on the high court. ‘Puter calls B.S. Justice Benjamin Cardozo was the first person of Hispanic descent to … Continue reading →
The solution to the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae mess is to move all the bad loans off book. Or so thinks the Obama Administration. You see, the problem isn’t that political motivations caused quasi-governmental entities to make (purchase) and … Continue reading →
Will you still feed me, when I’m 64? Not coincidentially, today is the 64th birthday of atomic warfare. In an intriguing column today in the Wall Street Journal, Warren Kozak posits that you can tell how an American feels about … Continue reading →
So let me get this straight, it is a moral outrage for heads of large corporations that produce something and generate revenue to purchase and operate private jets. This is crazy talk and reeks of the Democrats class warfare strategy … Continue reading →

Former President Bill “Call Me Daddy” Clinton is being universally praised in the mainstream media for his “diplomatic” mission to North Korea. ‘Puter has a sneaking suspicion that the Obama Administration had an ulterior motive for acquiescing to North Korea’s … Continue reading →
Geep—there is no coincidence. As revealed in the somehow-obtained memo from SoS Clinton, our North Korean parolees were hardly in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were intentionally breaking the law by crossing into and out of China … Continue reading →
The two young ladies recently freed by North Korea were lefty reporters for Al Gore’s liberal news outlet and money pit, Current TV. Two of the three hikers recently captured/abducted/arrested by Iran are screaming liberal, Bay Area, UC-Berkeley grad, freelance … Continue reading →

Exactly what’s wrong with ObamaCare, and how to fix the current healthcare situation…in only fifteen paragraphs. Politicians, if you aren’t going to read the bill, at least read this. The Czar agrees with this across the board. The Czar of … Continue reading →

It seems just like yesterday that the liberals were all up in arms regarding the Patriot Act and how it would turn this country into a fascist state where neighbor would be spying on neighbor. Now we get a report … Continue reading →
As a reader gently reminded ‘Puter recently, Richard Cohen is, to put it politely, a horse’s patoot. And ‘Puter agrees as a general rule. However, ‘Puter would like to call the reader’s attention to Mr. Cohen’s column today in the … Continue reading →
Actually, the post title is insulting to whores. In a nifty bit of advance spinning on behalf of the Obama Administration, CNN today opines in the guise of a news item that even if President Obama has to raise taxes, … Continue reading →
Sometimes I read an article or editorial and I almost find myself saying out loud, “see, this guy gets it, why can’t the rest of them?” Bret Stephens has a great opinion piece in today’s WSJ about Global Warming and … Continue reading →

Good on ’em. Many readers may not know this, but Australia is a very good friend of the United States. While many countries claim this, the Australians have quietly demonstrated it for quite a while now. Now comes word that … Continue reading →
Two technically unrelated news stories caught the Czar’s eye today. First, we must mention that the people of Iran continue to speak. As a brutal, dictatorial regime swears in its so-called “president” after a sham election, the people of Iran … Continue reading →
In a new series here at the Gormogons (albeit one we’ve addressed before), we will point out where the current administration’s spin doctors are out and about back pedaling correcting clarifying administration official’s statements. I’m sure VP Biden will be … Continue reading →
‘Puter asks why, when the US manufacturing industry is effectively the same size as the health care industry, would the public accept government control of the latter, but almost certainly not the former? Rather, why does the goverment think it … Continue reading →
I couldn’t make this up if I really tried. According to this article, bad breath or a disapproving wife is all it takes to derail your chances of gaining a spot in the Chinese space program. My wife doesn’t even … Continue reading →
In 2007, manufacturing of any sort accounted for about 19.5% of the United States’ GDP. Health care accounts for about 17% of the United States’ GDP. The two sectors are approximately the same size. Does anyone seriously think President Obama … Continue reading →

In another display of fundamentalist Islam’s tolerance and rationality, Sudan’s “government” is going to whip journalist Ms. Ahmed al-Hussein 40 times. Ms. Ahmed al-Hussein’s crime? Violation of Article 152 of Sudanese law, which promises 40 lashes for anyone “who commits … Continue reading →
Presidential candidates have historically been lambasted for breaking major campaign promises, even if nuances are present. President Obama, as part of his campaign platform ruled out raising taxes on “the middle class”. His definition was that no new taxes would … Continue reading →
Jimmy Orr of the Christian Science Monitor finds the perfect analogy to describe John McCain’s reaction to how the media has been treating Sarah Palin: It’s just like the old Huey Lewis song from “Back to the Future” where the … Continue reading →
