Trump’s Candidacy Snuffed In One Line

by Smitty (h/t Corner) Chris Rock on Donald Trump: “I won’t vote for him. I’m afraid he’ll leave us for a younger, prettier country.” And when you recall Ivana, it’s clear that no amount of stimulus projects will do. A buddy of mine chips in: “But I guess as long as he pays off our […]

Dark Thoughts Of 2012

by Smitty Apparently the 18 hour road trip to Texas was a bit too much alone time for Ladd Ehlinger. 1) The Republican candidate will lose to Obama, no matter who is picked and 2) The “Red Wave” of 2010 will be reversed. Sorry to be a wet blanket here, but from my observations it […]

How Ladd Ehlinger Went Viral And Flu Around The World

by Smitty Never mind my sorry pun fetish, read Ladd’s play-by-play in full. A wee cough: In space, no one can hear you scream. On youTube, no one HAS to watch your video and no one WILL unless you do something interesting. If, on the other hand, you’re an obscure politician in Alabama running for […]

It’s Only Disaster If Anyone Pays Attention

by Smitty Pat in Shreveport links the WSJ story about an independent Trump candidacy if His Donaldness doesn’t score the GOP nomination. Well, we can just pack it in right now, as far as I can tell.
