The campaign of Wendy Davis has gone beyond the comical to the outright horrific. Political science students really ought to study it, from its initial sensationalism of vagina costumes and tampon throwers and chants of “Hail Satan,” all the way … Continue reading →
So it breaks down like this. The GOP, we are reassured by the media, is perilously close to splitting in two. Actually, this is ridiculously far from the truth, but there is a comment we can make about that. In … Continue reading →
The Czar has mixed feelings about CPAC, with the negative running toward whether it has gotten too big for its own organizational abilities, and the positive of course being that it is a major reminder to all people—right, center, libertarian—that … Continue reading →
Only four months after the election, and the suggestions to the GOP on how to regroup and reorganize have recently gotten very good. And consistent: we talked about them here already, but the same ideas keep popping up again and … Continue reading →
Democrats are currently high-fiving each other, not just because President Obama issued empty promise after empty promise to his Progressive Liberal base during his Inauguaration speech, but because Democrats have a foot on the throat of the Republican Party—and the … Continue reading →
The Czar despises trendy phrases to describe concepts in psychology or sociology. He still does not use “sound bite,” for example and that phrase is older than many of our readers. However, he is inclined to think there is merit … Continue reading →
Jonathan Haidt, that is… Last year, Dr. J. jetted up to Washington D.C. to drink a pitcher of Guinness with GorT, and while he was there, he decided to attend a meeting of the Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research … Continue reading →

‘Puter watched the election returns come in last night. ‘Puter was not amused. He spent much time sloshing his vodka-rocks-olives (served in a highball tumbler) onto the carpet and raging at the television “reporters” before storming off to bed, muttering … Continue reading →
May her last colors never run. The Czar really wanted to avoid posting anything today except an analysis of why Obama lost. You would have enjoyed reading it; the Czar certainly enjoyed writing it back in September. Suffice it to … Continue reading →
Four more years…of the same old crap. Fox News just called Ohio for President Obama, and with it, the 2012 campaign. What we saw tonight was an incumbent President re-elected, albeit with less support from the electorate. Furthermore, it appears … Continue reading →

The other day, Dana Milbank was annoyed to no end, apparently when he spotted journalists at the debate monitoring Twitter for reactions more than they were actually watching the debate. Wedding ring check. This made Ghettoputer here laugh, because Milbank … Continue reading →

Mitt Romney won last night’s debate going away. Ignore what you’re hearing in much of the media. They’re brainless automatons programmed to advance Obama’s agenda regardless of cost to themselves or the nation. Sure, Obama was feisty. Sure, he sounded … Continue reading →

Yikes, what a mess. Some of you already know the Czar is less than pleased with the nonsense of the town hall-style debate. Many Twitter twerps were irate at how pro-Obama the questions were (immigration, Bush, outsourcing); in fact, a … Continue reading →
Let us see how good you are at playing this game. A single bullet was fired into the Denver headquarters of Barack Obama’s campaign; thankfully, no one was hurt, but a window was shattered. You already know how the press … 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 →
How bad is it? So bad that people are spending their own money to take down Obama. His statements echo a recent European immigrant who spoke with us: she came from a socialist country, and she was there long enough … 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 →
Well, even the far-left Pew Research has concluded that Mitt Romney won the debate with change to spare. Did we read correctly that undecided voters are leaning toward Romney 72-16 based on the debate? Worse news for the Obama campaign: … Continue reading →
