I Wonder How Uncle Jimbo Really Feels About Rep. Lynne Woolsey

by Smitty Uncle Jimbo at BlackFive: Good lord there are far too many dim-witted buffoons in Congress to actually catalog, but Rep. Lynne Woolsey wins the Daily Douchebag award for this asininity. “General Petraeus is giving us the Charlie Sheen counter-insurgency strategy, which is to give exclusive interviews to every major network, and to keep […]

Dan Collins Should Be Linked, And Often, And By Someone Who Knows How

Please go visit Dan’s blog Piece of Work in Progress immediately and, if the spirit generosity should coincide with a few bucks in your account, hit that man’s tip jar.

Not The Time To Go Wobbly In Wisconsin

Insert punchline here. My own objection is to the use of “gender” instead of “sex.” As an old editor […]

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Alternative Reality)

“Not only did Democrats under her Speakership raise discretionary spending 18% in three years, not only did she pass a Pay-Go law and then fail to adhere to it even once, Pelosi became the first Speaker since Watergate to fail to pass a budget resolution for a fiscal year. In 2010, despite having a 77-seat […]
