Public sector union members thoughtfully and politely discuss the possible reduction of their pension benefits with the taxpayers footing the outsized and ever-growing bill. Detroit’s public sector unions are squealing like stuck Irish pigs about their pensions being treated as just another unsecured … Continue reading →
And so it begins. If you were unaware, the Mainstream Media is beginning its process to transform the shrill, petty, dangerously vindictive and manipulatively toxic Hillary Rodham Clinton into the awesome Hillary Clinton: glamorous former first lady, brave and powerful … Continue reading →
The Czar intends to annoy a hell of a lot of people with this post, but conservatives need to stop sucking at the teat of fantasy about a third party. Unless, of course, they want to suck at the teat … Continue reading →
Your non-‘Puter Gormogons have done a marvelous job of providing instant feedback and analysis of this week’s presidential debate, brought to you by the letter “F” and the number “4.” If you have not done so already, you really ought … Continue reading →
It’s hard to shut down the positronic brain at times and so I had a few musings that struck me last night as I drifted off to the Matrix to shoot at some recognizers. Mmmm, tasty. It’s menu item #34 … Continue reading →
Man, what a hangover. Czar and ‘Puter were up for two days straight, celebrating Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s historic beat-down of labor unions with the fine serving wenches at the Leaping Peacock. Before you get all “‘Puter’s a sexist pig,” … Continue reading →
Sit back for an idea that will never happen. But the Czar would suspect it would be incredibly popular, if not impossible to implement. How about this: how about Congress adopt rules that cutesy nicknames and oppositionally opposed words be … Continue reading →
Just a follow-on to Dr. J’s predictions that the Massachusetts elections are about to get interesting with the announced retirement of Rep. Barney Frank at the end of his term. The Czar would like to breathe a sigh of relief. … Continue reading →
Overall, the Boehner rebuttal was really good, not just in content, but in psychology. The President will likely give less of his incessant lecture hall jeremiads if the GOP continually goes on television right after him and disproves his every … Continue reading →
GD leaps into action with his exciting Kung Fu grip: Dread, awful, powerful, all-seeing Czar, I was 100% with you, right up until you dragged his poor, pregnant (according to the interwebs), suffering wife into the discussion. I totally agree … Continue reading →
There has been a little bit of consideration on both sides of the aisle that maybe Congressman Weiner deserves a pass on this incident. After all, this is a private matter between Congressman Weiner and his wife; it doesn’t affect … Continue reading →
Allow the Czar to congratulate GorT on a spot-on essay regarding Congressman Weiner. Ultimately, the summary of Weiner’s press conference was “I take full responsibility for my actions, but I will not resign.” Which means he does not take full … Continue reading →
The Czar notices we have not touched Weiner’s wiener. Let us suppose the Congressman is innocent of sending an obscene photograph to a college girl. What we have is a member of Congress who has somehow been hacked. If someone … Continue reading →
Ah, Barney Frank: the Congressman everybody loves to hate. If you really needed a stereotype of a Congress member who does everything wrong yet retains his or her job, Frank is a good one. The Boston Herald just discovered something … Continue reading →
Whether you’re Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell or Illinois gubernatorial candidate Bill Brady, you need to learn to STFU on creationism vs. evolutionism. First off, it isn’t even a debate—creationists cannot engage in a logical rational debate on any matter … Continue reading →
‘Puter is a denizen of Upstate New York, and this year, upstart Tea Party/Republican candidate Carl Paladino is on the ballot. Mr. Paladino rose to stardom based primarily on his sharp invective and anger directed at New York’s entrenched political … Continue reading →
New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is campaigning for higher office on your dime. Mr. Cuomo is investigating eight banks for what he considers to be shenanigans related to the financial sector meltdown. A few thoughts from ‘Puter. 1. Mr. … Continue reading →
‘Puter’s been doing some more thinking about unions. ‘Puter knows. He’s a broken record. If you don’t like it, get your own danged blog where you can write about Hello Kitty, unicorns and gay pride parades. If you do, send … Continue reading →
While I agree with the points made by my esteemed collegue from the west-north-west wing of the Castle, I do have a clarifying point to make to his conclusion. Specifically: conservatives should take the Brown win cautiously. First, there was … Continue reading →
If you’ve ever wondered why America has taken a serious dislike to politicians of all stripes, meet California Assemblyman Mike Duvall (R). Politicians seem to be uncouth, tacky, liars and all-around nogoodniks these days, regardless of political persuasion (cf., Rangel, … Continue reading →
What a pickle POTUS Obama finds himself in. His popularity is dropping—not as fast as conservative bloggers and commentators would have you believe—but the downward trend is quite obvious. This problem happened to Bill Clinton, too, if you recall. Each … Continue reading →
Your Volgi sent us this little link, which explores why scientists hate Republicans. The Czar appreciates the assumption that it is worthless asking whether or not scientists actually do hate Republicans—by God, actually they do. The article covers the Pew … Continue reading →
The Czar has long followed Chicago politics, which few outsiders actually get. But let us take a look at the latest in Illinois politics (terribly influenced by the Chicago corruption machine) and see what the latest is. Nationally, Senator Roland … Continue reading →
Half-read stories can save a lot of time. Many politicians are lawyers. Lawyers are often nick-named sharks. Seems sharks use specific hunting strategies similar to serial killers. Seems serial killers have brains wired very much like politicians. And know that … Continue reading →
So the geniuses in the Illinois General Assembly passed a bill with the following language: RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that as Pluto passes overhead through Illinois’ night skies, that it … Continue reading →
It should be clear to any long-term reader of this site, that my personal belief is that once “politician” became a career here in America, the American political system began a downward spiral. No longer was it well-intentioned citizens volunteering … Continue reading →
