It’s Friday, January 26th, 2018…and just when we were going to lead off the day begging someone…anyone…to please educate The Donald about the importance of effective communication and the use of proper English… Yes, as TLJ noted, what The Donald was trying to say, in his wholly ineloquent way, was that the FBI is attempting to lay the […]

It’s Wednesday, January 24th, 2018…but before we begin, if we weren’t already done with the NFL as a result of its continued countenance of the Nuts Who Say Knee, we’d be doubly-done with it now: NFL rejects veterans group’s Super Bowl ad urging people to stand for the anthem   “The nation’s largest veterans service […]

It’s Monday, January 22nd, 2018…but before we begin, just when you thought you’d heard it all… CNN: Asteroids could place Earth in peril during government shutdown   As someone so accurately observed, only in the present era of Fake News could 95% of Republicans have voted to keep the government running while 95% of Dimocrats […]

It’s Friday, January 19th, 2018…but before we begin, this meme from Balls Cotton… …tied in nicely with a factoid cited by Chris Plant, a local radio talk show host: four…count ’em, FOUR…of Illinois’ last seven governors ended up in prison.   Just… …sayin’.  And since we’re on the subject of out-of-control asses, can anyone name a […]

It’s Wednesday, January 17th, 2017,…but before we begin, while Sh*tholia (see cartoon above) is a creation of Stilton Jarlsberg’s matchless wit, were it a real country, we know two world-renowned sh*theads,…  …Frederica Wilson and Maxine Waters, either of who would easily qualify as its emissary.  Both have refused to attend Trump’s first SOTU address […]

It’s Monday, January 15th, 2017…but before we jump into the sh*t, here’s another breath of fresh air courtesy of a President who, though incredibly crude, continues to be in many ways terribly effective: Kentucky to add Medicaid work requirement; first state to follow Trump plan   Problem is, there’s far too few like him! Kentucky […]

It’s Friday, January 12th, 2018…but before we begin, writing at his Morning Jolt, Jim Geraghty offers a… Message to House Democrats: You Can’t Always Get What You Want   “A strange development: Liberal members of the U.S. House of Representatives seem to think they can get everything they want on legislation for DACA without making major […]

It’s Wednesday, January 10th, 2018…and the offsides penalty on the blocked punt, not to mention the two subsequent non-calls (face mask and unsportsmanlike), at the beginning of the 2nd half of the CFP Championship confirmed the fix was in.  Seriously, we’re to believe THESE were the best referees collegiate football could provide?!?  The CFP now […]

It’s Monday, January 8th, 2017…but before we begin, the WSJ‘s Dan Henninger records… The Non-Accidental Presidency Donald Trump didn’t want to be president.
