Like Hypnotoad (AGTH),* PresidentObama, Democrats and the media expectus to unthinkingly believe them. ‘Puter’s sick and tired of know-nothings in the media – and even worse in government – spouting off about the debt limit, a subject which experience shows … Continue reading →

A Pew poll was released that surveyed Americans’ attitudes toward various professions. Journalists in particular are not particularly well liked by Americans. Since 2009, attitudes about journalists have dropped in every polling category: men, women, younger, older, education level, and … Continue reading →
’Puter, You’re attributing too much foresight to Mr. D.P.A. McManus. The “Arabs” in “Oliver’s Army” are not the lumpen Muslims you talk about. The vast majority of that group have always been Subcontinental, the “blacks” or “Pakis” of the unlovely … Continue reading →
This is almost exactly ‘Puter’s beloved2001 Nissan Pathfinder, which really hasvery little to do with the point of this post. ‘Puter’s not a car guy. It’s not that ‘Puter doesn’t like cars, it’s just that he’s not the type that … Continue reading →

A curious argument is starting to turn up in the wake of the Wisconsin shooting. Okay, some people are starting to acknowledge, there was no way to prevent a dirtbag like Wade Page from obtaining a firearm simply because there … Continue reading →
And so begins the media template. Stories on the Wisconsin shooting are already portraying the shooter as a nice, quiet guy who left the military in 1998. Quotes from people who knew him describe him as a neighbor who kept … Continue reading →
Since the Aurora, Colorado, shootings, gun sales are up nationally, either despite the media’s fear and terror about firearms, or because of the media’s fear and terror. Firearms are the media’s biggest bogeyman. And like all bogeymen, this fear is … Continue reading →

At GorT’s parish this weekend, the following editorial from the Catholic Standard is reprinted as a bulletin insert. I think it’s worth reading and pondering: Last weekend during an interview with Cardinal Wuerl on “Fox News Sunday,” the host, Chris … Continue reading →
Your newly twisted media meme of the hour is the rapid departure of Richard Grenell from his post as Mitt Romney’s spokesperson for foreign affairs. Without so much as a by-your-leave, and only minutes into the job it seems, Grenell … Continue reading →
If the Czar could wish anything for your survival, it would be the gift of skepticism. When someone runs up to you with a stunning claim (“I just saw Bigfoot! And eleventy!”), your first response really should be “How good … Continue reading →
Maybe that’s a bit harsh. But then again, maybe not. After all, what else could explain the Washington Post’s editorial staff green-lighting this intemperate, false, poorly reasoned dreck from one Melinda Henneberger? Maybe it’s not anti-Catholic hatred, per se. Maybe … Continue reading →
The Czar might like to take a moment to return to one of his favorite tropes: the festering arrogance of the Main Stream Media. Specifically, the Czar would like to introduce you to one of their techniques which seems to … Continue reading →

The Gormogons have not commented much (except perhaps on Twitter) concerning the death of teenager Trayvon Martin, pending a lengthy examination of the facts—which seem to be much in dispute, due entirely in part to an over-zealous mainstream media pillage … Continue reading →
The Czar, as loyal readers know, detests journalists and the media. To be fair, he detests them when they won’t do their job, which for many decades has been pretty much all the time. Local Chicago news has been fulsomely … Continue reading →
The Czar was going to make a prediction, but it began to come true before he got it into print. Not that it was a stunning one: you probably made the same prediction yourself. Instead, here be a postdiction. Start … Continue reading →

One of the big things that Americans walked away with after this weekend’s debates was that the news media is completely moronic. Newt Gingrich finally called them on it, and moderator Diane Sawyer was embarrassed enough to immediately change the … Continue reading →
Crank up the old Leftist media machines! The Los Angeles Times has a story that for all intents and purposes is a smear-piece on Christine O’Donnell’s endorsement of Mitt Romney. First sentence? “She’s not a witch.” Then why mention it? … Continue reading →
A couple of recent essays and editorials caught the Czar’s eye, and there is a strange theme to them: Gingrich is proof the Tea Party is dead. Long live the Tea Party, suckas. Don’t you media types wish. B-b-b-but Czar, … Continue reading →
