Nitwittery comes in pints? As you know, when our leaders are trying to show their solidarity with Joe Sixpack, they’re photographed with a beer in their hand. Hillary’s done it. Bill Clinton’s certainly done it (but Dr. J. posits that … Continue reading →
Would you like a side of deductions with that? Gentle Readers, President Obama filed his tax returns. When you calculate his rate ‘Dr. J.’ style, that is Total Tax/Total Income, it comes to 16.2% compared against Dr. J.’s 22.3%. Now … Continue reading →
A photo of ‘Puter’s Mom, circa 1967. Notreally. ‘Puter’s Mom was too busy workingto hang out with the rich kid, self absorbedhippies smoking weed and dodging the draft. ‘Puter’s going to let slip some ‘Puter family secrets. Both Mrs. ‘Puter … Continue reading →
Baseball Eye by Siccie Dr. J.’s buddy Jamie Jeffords had this opinion over at The Eye: I will agree with you the debate was more or less a tie, but only because Biden and the moderator barely allowed Ryan to … Continue reading →
“After tonight’s debate, I’ll be at 1 win, and you’ll be at 0 wins. See? I even provided youvisual aids. But I see your clearly superiorintellect is engrossed in deep thought,so I’ll wait for you to look up.” After Mitt … Continue reading →
GorT figures that he’ll round out the Gormogon take on the VP debate last night. We watched the debate largely as a family until Replicant #3 hit his bedtime and Replicant #2 gave up by saying, “Biden is creepy and … Continue reading →
Vice President Joe Biden addresses themedia after his stunning debate performance,blames the intelligence community for notmaking certain he took his meds today. ‘Puter watched the vice presidential debate last evening with his entire family, at least until ‘Puter shooed Spawn … Continue reading →
This is all that needs to be said: The MandarinThe Mandarin, whose real name is 吏恆, joined the order in 1309, and introduced the Gormogons into England during the 18th Century. The Mandarin enjoys spending time with his pet manticore, … Continue reading →
Now that the dust has settled around the debate, let us see what is worth seeing. Biden responding to the death of Ambassador Stevens, the third straight month of economic slowdown, high unemployment numbers, Iran destroying Israel with a nuclear … Continue reading →
The Czar has not even read the news yet to see what immediate reactions were from a broad range of observers. Paul Ryan performed as expected: he was relaxed, cool—for the most part, although his Irish dander got up twice—and … Continue reading →
Well, curiosities abound. The Obama campaign seems to have an internal bit of chaos going on. Inside reports (which may have been deliberately leaked to the press) indicate that the President was a tad…oblivious, perhaps?…to the debate fallout. Basically, the … Continue reading →
It hasn’t been a very good late-Spring, early-Summer for the democrats. While they might claim victory for the Affordable Care Act ruling by the Supreme Court, that itself raises the penalty-or-tax issue and, to some degree, uncovers the means by … Continue reading →
Since it appears that the Obama Administration doesn’t understand the word “recovery” and now doesn’t appear to understand the word, “secret”, we may need to look at their vocabulary skills. When you have a classified program that is working against … Continue reading →
The Obama Administration is out touting all the great jobs they’ve “created or saved”. Except that the jobs reports haven’t been that great. I’m sure someone had to tackle and duct tape Joe Biden’s mouth before he declared “Summer of … Continue reading →
Two probably unrelated political thoughts. First, this Elizabeth Warren nonsense. The Czar understands that Massachusetts voters don’t seem to care that she may or may not have Cherokee ancestry: they seem to be zeroing in on whether she can do … Continue reading →
Yesterday on the Fox News Special Report Online post-show broadcast, Dr. Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist by training, by the way, intimated that Obama wouldn’t replace our gaffetastic Vice President Biden with Secretary Clinton for the 2012 race. His reasoning was … Continue reading →
Of course, the Buffett Rule has nothing to do with increasing revenues. It is all, as GorT says, about what sounds good. No, no one expects that the Buffett Rule will produce more than a few thousand dollars in increased … Continue reading →
As GorT was reading the Czar’s post from this morning, it reminded him of a few tidbits that came across the optical interface this morning: Harry Belafonte (seriously, his best work is his Muppet show episode) is the latest in … Continue reading →
Debate exists whether Democrats want Romney to run against Obama because Obama would beat him, or whether the polls are right that Romney would eke out a victory over Obama. A lot of very pro-Obama supporters are suddenly coming out … Continue reading →
From Real Clear Politics: “I’ll make up my mind on that later,” Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview with CNN’s Candy Crowley. “I’m in one of the, probably the best shape I’ve been in in my life” I’m … Continue reading →
Want to see a blog post/op ed that is 100% politically charged while being completely balanced between right and left? Alexandra Petri can do one. She wrote a masterful and point-blank humorous takedown of Vice-President Biden and his perpetually difficult … Continue reading →
The following is a subject the Czar has been struggling to understand for some time now, and no doubt (most of) you are equally puzzled. But really, what the hell is going on with the President and Israel? First, in … Continue reading →
Remember the Summer of 2010? It was the Obama Administration’s self-proclaimed “Summer of Recovery” that, well, wasn’t. In recent months the economy has ticked up a bit but I wouldn’t be holding your Summer 20102011 of Recovery party just yet. … Continue reading →
Yes, it’s Sunday—the day that bad news about the Obama administration gets leaked out, in hopes that you and the few triple-digit-IQed folks in the mainstream media completely miss it. Here is a great headline out of The Onion: Most … Continue reading →
Your Czarness: While your good buddy Hosni enjoys a little rest and recuperation in Sharm el-Shaik, I thought it might be a good time for Those-Who- Dwell- in-Castle -Gormogon to use their manifest powers to tidy up a few loose … Continue reading →
Big F*@&ing Deal Alert! The Mandarin’s Orbital Laser Mind-switching Weapon (TM) is a rousing success. The Gormogons have successfully swapped the mind of gaffetastic Vice President Biden with that of Dr. J’s mancrush, economist Arthur Laffer. Dr. J has relocated … Continue reading →
Perhaps the Czar is being unkind or unfair. Unfortunately, though, that is exactly what Czars (real ones away) can get away with. So here we see Vice-President Biden figuring out exactly what went wrong for President Obama: the reason Obama … Continue reading →
Unhappy with President Obama’s failure to get any real laughs on The Daily Show, Democrats are asking Vice-President Biden to appear on Jeopardy. The Czar of MuscovyБожію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar … Continue reading →
Maybe you heard. The Republicans could potentially win the Senate. In fact, the Czar thinks the odds of this are much better than the media is reporting. No, it’s no done deal, but it’s moved past “theoretically plausible” into “strong … Continue reading →
Summer at the Castle is wrapping up. School supplies are being acquired, last minute getaways are almost done and order to the chaos that was the kids’ summer schedules is returning. Of course, we have to deal with this little … Continue reading →
Update: Now with pictures! That Dr. J had sent originally, but the Volgi just noticed. He blames the Liao Drug. But, you may be asking yourself, how does a healthy 41-year-old get felled by a stroke out of the blue? … Continue reading →
Eagle-eyed Gormogon operative FJR sends the following comparison mash-up, right. FJR notes that Vice President Biden bears an uncanny resemblance to Jeff Dunham’s dummy Walter. Coincidence? ‘Puter may have to reconsider his theorem that V.P. Biden has been replaced by … Continue reading →
I’ve been meaning to post a story on the further woes of the Obama Administration’s stimulus activity but I’ve been tied up time traveling again. The Czar dropped a note from operative MB in my inbox at the castle pointing … Continue reading →
Hey GorT: Biden is still very much around, as he spells out in detail what the GOP needs to do to destroy the Presidency of Barack Obama. The Czar of MuscovyБожію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, … Continue reading →
Just a devastating takedown of the media’s treatment of Gov. Palin. Carl Cannon, neither Republican nor conservative, just completely destroys any pretense of fairness or decency on the part of his colleagues in the press. Facts matter, the man said. … Continue reading →
Probably no one noticed it except the Czar, but CNN has a nice summary of everything that’s wrong with the Obama administration. The story discusses how the GOP is starting to turn the flame up on the Obama economic recovery … Continue reading →
So evidently, Joe Biden has given Israel permission to take on Iran. By that, we mean hardball. Yeah, the US would like to see Iran negotiate, but “If the Netanyahu government decides to take a course of action different than … Continue reading →
The poor Iraqis. They just started a new chapter in their history (withdrawal of U.S. troops), and we sent them Vice President Biden as a surprise gift. That’s almost as good a gift as the time ‘Puter’s grandma gave him … Continue reading →

At least Dick Cheney knew to keep quiet. When asked about the growing Everything Shall Die terror of the Swine Flu, POTUS Obama wants everyone to stay calm. “Everyone should rest assured that this government is prepared to do whatever … Continue reading →
Well, not entirely. ‘Puter made up the language, with a little help from SNL. But, Biden’s new bishop, the delightfully named Most Reverend W. Francis Malooly, prelate of the Diocese of Wilmington, did put a verbal beatdown on Sen. Biden. … Continue reading →
SEATTLE — Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden promised a group of supporters Sunday that running mate Barack Obama “will absolutely 100% trigger a nuclear Armageddon kinda thing” within the first 20 minutes of his presidency, but added that “Barack … Continue reading →
Intentionally or not, Joe Biden, never able to shut his mouth, has dared the American episcopate to slap him down. That group, traditionally old-line Democrats, has ever been loath to come down on scions of their party, but this kind … Continue reading →
Take it cum grano salis, but here’s what seems to be a Soviet document recounting a meeting with Joe Biden, Dick Lugar, David Pryor, et al., in 1979. Some highlights: 1. J. Biden, the head of the delegation, said that … Continue reading →
And there was much rejoicing. Mark Steyn has returned to his beat…the world. This week, it’s Biden-Palin, as you can guess, and he’s in love with a girl called Sarah. That’s where Sarah Palin scored in the vice-presidential showdown. A … Continue reading →
Sen. Biden’s obvious plastic surgery (botox, browlift) and bad makeup lead ‘Puter to believe that he is attempting to toughen his image. Note the increasing resemblance between Sen. Biden and well known Klingon Mr. Worf. Perhaps ‘Puter would better like … Continue reading →
Dear God, the McCain camp got competent. They’ve been almost perfect for the last couple months. And the Palin pick is fantastic for a variety of reasons. A few: • She’s young (44), offsetting the McCain-old-guy issue to a degree.• … Continue reading →
If this American expat is right, the Biden pick may have alienated that 0.16% of the U.S. population. (And more seriously, it’s not welcome news to those of us concerned with America’s position in the Pacific.) Parenthetically, when it comes … Continue reading →
It’s nice to see the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy finally start enforcing Church doctrine. For too many years, Church leaders have stood idly by while nominally Catholic politicians have at best passively accepted abortion (see, e.g., Mario Cuomo) and at … Continue reading →
‘Puter was a little surprised that the The Good Junior Senator from Illinois (D-IL) chose The Good Senior Senator From Delaware (D-DE) as his running mate. After all, Sen. Biden once referred to Sen. Obama as “the first mainstream African-American … Continue reading →
