Our royal archivist, MBernadetteE, came up from the Castle basement the Friday morning, which was a source of great relief because nobody has seen her for three weeks. If you didn’t know, she has been diligently archiving, indexing, and filing … Continue reading →
Did you get Dragon Magazine™ back in the day? You know you did. And where did you go first? The Dragonmirth section with all the funny cartoons. You know you did. Well, Dork Tower was one of those cartoons, and … Continue reading →
Dr. J just noticed this now. Apparently Katrina Trinko was on the same track earlier today. Check out her spin on where $18,000 can take you… Dr. J.
Continue reading →GorT is miffed. Peeved. Ticked off. GorT and family live in a great community that is centered around our Catholic parish. Over 70% of the kids in our parochial school walk to school each day. Sure, there are the enabling … Continue reading →
This is one of the e-cards available on President Obama’s campaign site: This probably includes to cost of a smoke afterwards. $18,000?!?! That’s a whole lot of birth control. So let’s break it down. Let’s assume that the young lady … Continue reading →
People want to know how we’re going to vote…run! Mitch H., proud owner and operator of Blogfonte, sung by the Castle and had a barside chat with us on the Czar’s wonderful piece on the weirdness of recent polls. The … Continue reading →
孔夫子 a.k.a. Confucius, our Œcumenical Volgi (the Notorious ŒV) has been conspicuously absent of late, especially given that he wrote the first post on our esteemed website. Well, the first in a wibbly, wobbly, timey-wimey sort of way, anyway. Well, Dr. J.’s dark … Continue reading →
Shut up and eat your food. Or no more SmartBoards. In 1946, the Truman administration—as part of the Progressive Health, Education, and Welfare trifecta— began the national school lunch program (NSLP). In 1966, LBJ extended that to include breakfasts as … Continue reading →
The Czar must say he is quite confused by the media on this election. Okay, there are so many stories “correcting” the polls that there is no point in providing a link to one of them. By and large, you … Continue reading →
‘Puter perused the Wall Street Journal this morning, as he whipped up a batch of lard-boiled narwhal pancreas for breakfast, as is his wont. Somewhere in the middle of the A Section, ‘Puter stumbled upon the photo, above, illustrating an … Continue reading →
GorT, Sr. enjoyed this earlier post and GorT has been busy so I’ve been lax in posting these. First, let’s show how 2 equals 3: and now, -1 equals 1: Witness the mighty power of the Gormogons!!! GorTGorT is an … Continue reading →
Mr. Philippe Reines, who evidently has no idea how to manage himself, let alone the media. No, you didn’t elect him. The news about the Libyan attack keeps getting worse. The Czar was particularly troubled at an emerging story that … Continue reading →
Could Romney be planning a major policy dump during the debates? Wow, that might be a great idea, if he is conniving enough. Just a thought. Democrats and an increasing number of Republicans have been pressing Mitt Romney to release … Continue reading →
Hast thou heard of this yet? At a petting zoo, a baby goat falls into a pond. It panics, and begins to drown. Before the people can react, the goat is saved—by a most unlikely assistant. Watch and be amazed. … Continue reading →
Hey GorT, Remember when you let those whackjobs from 2113 borrow your time machine, because they wanted to go back to a simpler time and live out a nice pastoral utopia? Guess who just turned up? Explains why they never … Continue reading →
The other day, the Czar opined a bit on the poll numbers seem stagnant. Other media outlets are similarly realizing that the poll numbers might not have much to do with what either Obama or Romney are saying. Other outlets … Continue reading →
Borrowed without permission from Grey Ops. Dr. J. can’t stand lawyers, other than ‘Puter and perhaps one or two others here in New Atlantis. That is probably one of the reasons he doesn’t like President Obama. He sometimes lies when … Continue reading →
That headline seems so strange, but put Mitt Romney’s name in there, and everyone agrees with it. Yet, for months now, the President and Mitt Romney have been in a statistical tie for the most part. We keep hearing that … Continue reading →
When ‘Puter writes his musical version ofthe 2012 election, Bye Bye Barry, he’ssigning the young, hot Ann Margaret to star as him. Dang, what a fine looking woman. “What’s the story, Morning Glory? What’s the word, Humming Bird? Have you … Continue reading →
Thomas Sowell is a favorite of a number of the Gormogons and GorT came across this online interview with the columnist and author. He discusses his essay, “‘Trickle Down Theory’ and ‘Tax Cuts for the Rich’”. While I’d love to … Continue reading →
Remember a couple of days ago when the Czar was really annoyed with the Main Stream Media, and how this was the beginning of the end? One of us, probably Volgi (because he often forgets to sign his tweets), tweeted … Continue reading →
The site will be Dr. J. lite in all likelihood for the next week or so as Clan J. moves out of the urban flat which we occupied for the last four months, and into the palatial ‘J. Abbey.’ Dr. … Continue reading →
I thought I’d spend a few minutes today on a total side-topic from our regular federal budget woes, Obama’s complete amateurism in foreign policy* (and claiming that Romney & Ryan have less experience), sequestration, and all that other nonsense to … Continue reading →
The Mandarin is releasing some more of his weird experiments on animals. Note for the squeamish: this is almost two minutes long, but the minute oughta give you a sense of the whole thing. The Czar of MuscovyБожію Поспѣшествующею Милостію … Continue reading →
Know who really had a bad week? “Today, Mitt Romney admitted to ThoughtCrime against our great and glorious supreme leader, who forgave Romney in all his benevolence. Also, we’re getting the poop sued out of us.” Not Barack Obama, who … Continue reading →
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and wise people will listen and consider other opinions before making decisions (at least within reason). GorT has been super-busy at work recently leading up to our company’s annual offsite (nothing big, just a … Continue reading →
The great and powerful Eric Reasons send us a fantastic link by tying it to a dead ptarmigan and tossing it our way through the Castle window (which was closed): Thought I’d toss this your way after your excellent rant … Continue reading →
The Great Merlin writes thusly: Dr. J., Here’s something that confuses me (well, technically, yet another entry on a long list of things, but let’s not go there, shall we?). In all of the discussions about Obamacare/ACA, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP/SCHIP, … Continue reading →
Amidst the continuing fallout from the natural consequences of President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton’s feckless, apologetic Middle East policy, we would do well to consider war. No, ‘Puter’s not calling on anyone to start yet another war. Rather, … Continue reading →
Both liberals and conservatives need to get over themselves with the events of September 11, 2012, and focus on what actually happened. Not surprisingly, each needs to get over something different; even less surprisingly, the Czar has plenty of advice … Continue reading →
‘Puter prepares to “ride Czar’s float” at the Gormogons’ 1,092ndAnnual Gay Pride Parade ‘Puter is not surprised that he received feedback on yesterday’s most excellent “pretend you’re Romney’s speech writer” post. ‘Puter has a way of getting under folks’ skin, … Continue reading →
The President cannot claim any real superiority in foreign policy; as recent events show, foreign crises are irritating things that seem to serve no other purpose than to interrupt his fund raising. What the heck are Libya and Egypt thinking? … Continue reading →
‘Puter’s been thinking about Mitt Romney, and not in the “I wonder if he’s wearing that funky Mormon underwear” way. ‘Puter’s been thinking Mitt Romney needs to be true to who he is. Mitt Romney is the son of an … Continue reading →
And so Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is living large, now that he has bested the Chicago Teachers’ Union. Right? Well, not quite. Although the backlash against the teachers has been intense, the first major test of his ability to restore … Continue reading →
The Czar finds it meaningful, at least in a self-indulgent way, that he never tires of hearing “where were you” stories about September 11, 2001. Unlike the Kennedy assassination for the Baby Boomers, who managed to turn that all about … Continue reading →
The Czar cannot promise that all aspects of Chicago Public School (CPS) politics will be very interesting, but today’s CPS strike is intensely fascinating if largely inside baseball. Here is our assessment. Never let a crisis go to waste, even … Continue reading →
GorT had the opportunity to go to the Rush concert* last night just outside Washington, DC (formerly Nissan Pavilion now Jiffy Lube Live – the venue itself is great but the parking is a nightmare). It was a great show … Continue reading →
Just as not all liberals are unwashed Occupy protesters (in fact, based on their turnouts, almost no one is an Occupy protester at all), nor do all liberals hate the troops, nor are all liberals against financial reform…well, frankly, these … Continue reading →
Uh-oh! The Los Angeles Times has a science article written by Louis Sahagun, who appears to be in junior high school. Success! You found liquid water in the steam of your laser! Now shut down, before you uncontrollably use your … Continue reading →
Didja know that President Obama and Mitt Romney already had their first debate? Yes, it was a science debate, which candidates responded to in writing. The Czar heard the Mitt Romney thumped the President pretty hard, so he went to … Continue reading →
Just some administrivia. We get lots of letters, and we try to respond to all of them. Because we do not have a Ron Paul 2012 comments section, an email is the best way to get hold of us. We … Continue reading →
Are you dancing your way back to me, Master Jedi? Dr. J. would like to wish The Czar and the Цесаревич hearty congratulations for the Цесаревич’s essay contest win. But The Czar isn’t the only Brag Hag amongst the Gormogons. In addition to ‘Puter, … Continue reading →
President Obama delivered a rousing speech last night, pointing out how the GOP ticket doesn’t have any plans or the plans are rehashes of what he says caused the issues. However, he failed to really outline any plan of his … Continue reading →
The Czar won’t lie to you. He loves to see more and more mounting evidence that Bill Clinton made up enormous parts of his speech against the evil Republicans the other night. Not that the Czar is defending anything Clinton … Continue reading →
Muscovy announced a contest some weeks ago asking every kid to write in why his or her dog is the best dog in Muscovy. Winners would receive a special prize. Sally still prefers to hide under anything she can. To … Continue reading →
Now, you understand, this is not the Volgi singing. It is, however, Roy Wood. And it gives you a weird idea of why Volgi would never do his own rock video. The Czar of MuscovyБожію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный … Continue reading →
It is Dr. J.’s understanding that she has ringside seats to watch liberty dietonight. Let’s see if she provides some thunderous applause. Washington Post Columnist George Will writes today: Four years ago, Barack Obama was America’s Rorschach test, upon whom … Continue reading →
President Clinton’s speech was very odd. On paper, it served to accomplish two goals—to say that Barack Obama is a really nice guy, and that Republican criticisms of his presidency have been a little extreme compared to the GOP Bill … Continue reading →
Bongburgher, the veritable Burgher of Bong, writes in: Your Awfulness, For the record, I do not belong to the government. My wife and children do not belong to the government. Neither do my friends, neighbors, acquaintances, nor my worst enemies…. … Continue reading →
Actual flyer as seen in the White House break room, detailingPresident Obama’s double secret plan to balance the budget:assume all Americans are as bad at math as he is. ‘Puter was making his daily round of blogs he enjoys. Over … Continue reading →
GorT and Mrs. GorT watched a bit of the DNC coverage. We tuned into Fox News who carried the three speeches (O’Malley, Julian Castro, and Michelle Obama) and movie in totality. Clearly O’Malley and Castro are trying to punch their … Continue reading →
The Czar caught a fair bit of the Democratic National Convention last evening, and has some comments. First, fire the director. While the GOP director had a weird obsession with zooming in tight on other people with weird obsessions (“Hey, … Continue reading →
Congressmen ply their trade,sizing up available johns campaign contributors. Democrats consider themselves and Big and Little party. That is, Democrats are a “Big Tent” party, taking any and all comers, no matter how wacky their views. Simultaneously, Democrats claim to be the … Continue reading →

Democrats begin their convention, and it might be worth watching just to see what Bill Clinton does during his speech. He has already threatened to wreck the convention if he didn’t get his way—and on his list of demands is … Continue reading →
Admit it! Wouldn’t you sometimes rather act out your own Gormogon posts, rather than read the ones we actually put here? Seriously, don’t you just want to go all ‘Puter on NPR once in a while? Or have the Czar … Continue reading →
The President. Sigh. Well, today, in response to scores of millions out of work and suffering, the President released his favorite beer recipes. Millions of Americans will now be back to work, you’ll see. And understanding the heartbreaking loss of … Continue reading →
First, let us review the topic: Thou most Dread and Awful – Fellow Operative BG’s list of successful, tax-cutting, budget-balancing governors reminds me of an old saw that seems to have gone dull from misuse: “You have never read a … Continue reading →
