The Czar finds himself in the Crossroads State today, but no matter—your mail finds him wherever. The Retired Spook wants to add one more thing to his observations on the 2008 election: Your Czarosity; As I recall, the NYT endorsed … Continue reading →
Apparently the Obama administration wishes to revise child labor regs such that children under 18 are restricted as to what activities they may participate in on their parents’ farms. That being said, a couple of blog posts by Rachel Campos-Duffy … Continue reading →
Well, Rick Perry is out. Actually, he has been out for some time, but evidently our post yesterday convinced him to take this seriously. We can certainly understand him not endorsing Mitt Romney: the two governors are fundamentally opposed on … Continue reading →
Once in a while, the Czar says something he believes will generate a lot of grief, and is surprised to find people agree with him. The Czar made such a comment the other day, and has received a couple of … Continue reading →
BG writes in with an observation (and curious ploy) appropriate to a topic much on our mind lately: Great and Wondrous and (Regrettably, Apparently Lonesome) Czar – There is another meme out there, which was on display on the cover … Continue reading →
The Czar told you this was coming. The Los Angeles Times dutifully reports that House Speaker Boehner and House Majority Leader Cantor are virtually at fisticuffs, tearing at each other’s throats, because things are really this bad for the Republicans. … Continue reading →
Reading others’s thoughts, from a variety of vantage points, on the debate has pointed out a couple of things: – As suspected, many of the mainstream organizations are absolutely certain that Mitt Romney won the debate. The Czar doubts it: … Continue reading →
Lord Eric trained his nanobots to form this message before the Czar: Being a strong advocate for crowdsourcing, and also being mildly amused at the media’s general seething bloodlust around Sarah Palin (Whom I’m personally ambivalent about, at best), I … Continue reading →
Hey GorT, What the Czar thinks is even better is that a couple of Palin supporters are asking conservatives of all stripes to volunteer for this. Why? So that conservatives find emails that support family values, tax reduction, free trade … Continue reading →
Unfortunately I can’t find the reference now but the tweet o’ the week has to go to one that went: “Palin’s 24K emails created more jobs than the $787B Obama Stimulus”. How true. And now multiple “news” outlets are asking … Continue reading →
Hiya again!!! Its meeee! Medea Mainstream, and I am back to tell you all about my latest summer project. So you know how that Sarah Palin girl is like the valedetorian for the whole high school because she is a … Continue reading →
And here come the letters about Sarah Palin! And first up is no less a celebrity than Borepatch hisself (whom you read every day like the Czar does, right?). Anyway, Borepatch says: It looks like she got it [the Paul … Continue reading →
The Czar has come to the unfortunate realization that Sarah Palin, despite her talents and media sizzle, is now unelectable. Perhaps this is a good thing. —Her recent association with Donald Trump was a major mistake, when other GOP leaders … Continue reading →
And not just the bad, Nazi Germans. But regular old, nuke-hating, Birkenstock wearing, razor-abhorring Germans! Oh, the humanity! But how? How can we be sure it’s Ms. Palin who is killing Germans? The logic, my friends, is simple. There is … Continue reading →
It’s seriously bad when your blinders are on this long. The Chicago Sun-Times tends to skew slightly right-of-center in its editorial reporting (though it is getting lefty), but its featured columnists are way off the left end. Competing for most … Continue reading →
Frank over at IMAO has a superb essay on why (a) the Left thought it was okay to make fun of Trig Palin in such a grotesque and repugnant fasion, but why (b) Trig Palin scares the hell out of … Continue reading →
So it seems Sarah Palin had another moment of refudiation, when she used the malapropism squirmish to describe our actions in Libya. Or rather, Obama’s reluctance to call it a war. Some accounts have it sounding like a deliberate play … Continue reading →
The Czar presupposes that comparisons between Geraldine Ferraro, who passed away at the age of 75, and Sarah Palin are inevitable. But rather than compare the two women directly, the Czar most recently thought of Ms. Ferraro because of the … Continue reading →
MH, one of our growing entourage of Canadian readers, uses his maple powers to analyze the American liberal scene. In particular, he takes a good look at their hatred of Sarah Palin, and by God, the Czar thinks he is … Continue reading →
Your Czarness: Might I offer a random observation concerning your first points in yesterday’s “News Roundup”? Now you might be sitting in your frozen castle up in Muscovy wondering what in tarnation Sarah Palin and Mohammed El-Baradei could possibly have … Continue reading →
Airhead editorialist Dana Milbank wants to take a pledge: that as much as he cannot stand Sarah Palin, and is obsessed with talking about her, and thinking about her, and wondering what she is doing, or saying, or thinking at … Continue reading →
The Czar is finally getting around to tackling a backlog of mail. First up, BG writes in: I read this and all I could think was, “Arghhh! The stupid! It burns!!!!!!!!!” E.J. Dionne writes: So on the one hand, we … Continue reading →
Your Mandarin is a strong opponent of censorship and has always been of the opinion that if you don’t like what is on television you should either change the channel or turn it off. Apparently, Mr. Steven Cowan decided that … Continue reading →
The Czar has received a fair amount of mail supporting his supposition that liberals need to identify with a group or follow someone who is in charge of a group. It is, of course, basic identity politics. And it bears … Continue reading →
Norman Podhoretz does a nice job of contextualizing Sarah Palin and the backlash against her in certain quarters of conservatism, even citing Gormogon favorite T. Coddington van Voorhees VII. Pod the Elder comes with a position similar to many of … Continue reading →

The Czar had an awkward moment this weekend. Gathering with friends in Indiana, the discussion at dinner turned to politics. This was unintentional: it started when our friends’s thirteen-year-old daughter shocked the table by stating—against the grain of 13-year-olds everywhere—that … Continue reading →
You know, she could actually do worse (and show a sense of humor) in seeing if Mattel—or some politically-inclined toymaker—would be interested in actually making a Caribou Barbie®. Funny, self-deprecating PR, keeps her name out there, and what’s the worst … 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 →
Read on to find out what for, but dig this opening: So on some recent radio show hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton, a male caller phoned in with a theory about Michael Jackson’s death. Turns out he didn’t kill … Continue reading →
Ok, ok, stop asking. The Volgi’s take is this: Palin’s long suits are just ridiculous quantities of charisma and a devoted following among evangelicals, many pro-life Catholics, and a substantial group of conservative women. Unless she’s leaving Juneau one step … Continue reading →
The Czar really wanted to avoid commenting on anything like this (it is a bit… AM radio fodder, perhaps), but sees that the war between Sarah Palin and David Letterman is heating up. By now, you already know what happened. … Continue reading →
The much maligned Governor Palin had a few comments the other day noting how POTUS Obama is governing: “We need to be aware of the creation of a fearful population, and fearful lawmakers, being led to believe that big government … Continue reading →
Great magazine this week. For your delectation: Ethan Gutmann’s cover story on the Chinese organ-harvesting complex will give you nightmares. No one lacerates the French like the French. Great piece on Saakashvili’s visit to Paris. Former Colleague of a Gormogon … 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 →
Governor Palin sounds exactly like Fran the Squirrel from Higglytown Heroes. Fran the Squirrel is voiced by Edie McClurg, the actress who played Grace the Secretary in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Palin won the debate with regular Americans. 'PuterAlways right, … Continue reading →
The difference is a conservative judges a person on who he is rather than on the group to which he belongs. For liberals, group identity is more important than individual identity. “But ‘Puter, why are you posting photos of yourself … Continue reading →

GorT’s been under the weather for the past 2 weeks with a nasty cough – I’ll spare everyone the gory details. So I’m glad to be back and while I’ve seen, read and heard way too much to post about … Continue reading →
PALIN BAGS A BIGFOOT Conservatives have immediately rallied to their party’s new star, citing that gun ownership and hunting are indelible parts of American culture. Indeed this point is hard to argue, as John Adams was notorious for having captured … Continue reading →
The Tina Fey spoof of Sarah Palin on SNL last weekend was good…heck, even Sarah Palin noticed the resemblance and dressed as Tina Fey on Halloween. However, it looks like the un-funny Chevy Chase has a little to say about … Continue reading →
It was inevitable, but still well done. Tina Fey in the role she was born to play: I’d have written the script a little more pointedly to show Hillary actually backing McCain and Palin in order to clear the path … Continue reading →
With comments like the following (h/t to Politico.com), how in the world do the democrat supporters not appear hypocritical: Liberal radio host Ed Schultz used the words “bimbo alert” to refer to Palin – where’s the denouncements? “Her first priority … Continue reading →

The Democrats have now adopted noted political philosophers The Rolling Stones’ unassailable logic recorded for posterity in Satisfaction. Mr. Richards and his cohort deftly observed that “he can’t be a man ’cause he doesn’t smoke the same cigarettes as me.” … Continue reading →
The democrats will learn someday that being petty, complaining about everything under the sun, and labeling everyone isn’t a winning strategy. After the McCain campaign aired the congratulatory ad, the Obama camp first responded to the naming of Gov Palin … Continue reading →

GorT, much like Wile E. Coyote, is in fact a super genius. ‘Puter’s father has also been kicking around Gov. Palin’s name of late. ‘Puter thinks Gov. Palin is a strong, but not perfect, pick. She’ll remind moderate Democrat women … Continue reading →
In two separate family discussions over the last week, GorT has put forward the idea of Sarah Palin (pictured) as the best choice for McCain’s VP. It appears this morning that it has been proven true. It is my opinion … Continue reading →
