Does anyone recall last year when the Czar wrote about the Цесаревич’s spectacular and politically (un)popular baseball adventure, in which his plucky band of die-hard teammates took on the well-funded and well-organized baseball team of a Very Wealthy Suburb called … Continue reading →
It’s been my experience that Senators are only focused on pleasing those who fund their campaigns… and they are more than willing to forget the niceties of democracy to get those funds. Dr. J.
Continue reading →Dr. J.’s buddy, Jamie Jeffords at the Eye of Polyphemus has been covering the Republican Primaries, and his predictions have been prophetic. He discusses the Santorum surge today. He makes five points regarding the surge. He writes: First, Santorum looks … 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 →

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, who also happens to be a New York Times columnist and shrill Democratic Party shill (but then ‘Puter repeats himself), parrots the White House and Occupy Wall Street talking point cum dogma: Income inequality is the … Continue reading →
‘Puter’s been watching Democratic shenanigans with a genuine mix of incredulity and schadenfreude. ‘Puter figured the mid-term elections were going to shake up the Democrats, but ‘Puter did not foresee this level of self-immolation. It’s as if the Democrat’s liberal … 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 →
