Supreme Court to return hear ObamaCare verdict case this week. Three possible rulings.
(Editors Note: It appears my title is in error. The Court seems to have only agreed to “hear” the case at this time, not produce a verdict. I apologize for the error. – Mugsy) There isn’t much to say (so why is this op/ed so long?) in advance of today’s anticipated ruling from the Supreme [...]
It Couldn’t Be More Clear: GOP running against fictional president with fictional record
Super Tuesday is now history, and the Republican presidential candidates have all given their “victory” speeches (not Ron Paul, who won no states). And it is clear from listening to them that each one of them absatively-posalutely believes they will be running in November against some fictional “un-American” president with a record that bears no resemblance [...]
How do I know the election’s over? Because CPAC was obsessed with social issues not jobs.
[PopUpFad=GROUP=widget:RANDOM=NO:SESSION=NO] Last week was the annual CPAC… “Conservative Political Action Conference”… held in D.C. each year. The very existence of CPAC is a testament to Conservative’s innate paranoia and feelings of inadequacy. Conservatives feel the need to get together each year and make a big show of Conservatism in America because if people don’t SEE a bunch [...]
Romney said WHAT about Insurance? This one will make you angry. (video)
Sometimes someone says something so bizarre… so disconnected from reality… that it makes you stop dead in your tracks and shout “WHAT???” Such was the case Tuesday as NBC’s Andrea Mitchell chased after GOP front-runner Mitt Romney the day of the New Hampshire Primary to ask him about his “I like to fire people” gaffe. Romney’s response [...]
Mugsy’s predictions for 2012: “The apocalypse never comes when you want it” Edition (UPDATED)
[PopUpFad=GROUP=widget:RANDOM=NO:SESSION=NO] Where to start? Every year since 2006 I’ve dug deep into my toy-chest, pulled out the turban from my “Ancient Secrets Magic Kit”, rubbed my lucky penny for good luck, and concocted my annual “Predictions for the coming year”. And by the end of that year, I always expect to find I did really poorly… but [...]
The List II: Santorum, Huntsman, and The Rest.
This week raps up our review of the remaining “also-rans” in the GOP primary… the candidates that have never polled out of the single digits and never will: former Senator Rick ”Don’t Google My Name” Santorum of PA (Oops! Shortly after posting this op/ed, Santorum became the last “Not-Romney” standing to finally break out of the single-digits into the Top Tier [...]
The List II: The Strange Case of Dr. Ron Paul.
It is extremely difficult to summarize the very complex platform of Texas Rep. Dr. Ron Paul without getting too deep into the weeds as to why he’s often a clueless… even dangerous… presidential candidate that no one should ever seriously consider voting for. The Texas Libertarian is extremely popular among young voters (mostly Conservative & [...]
The List II: Michele Bachmann
Everybody knows someone like Michele Bachmann. The “Tall Tale” teller, the “Everyone’s out to get you” paranoid, or the Bible-thumper that throws a screaming hissy-fit if you dare challenge their beliefs. But how many of us know all-three rolled into one? Long-time readers know I can’t refer to Michele Bachmann without the obligatory “BSC*” suffix after [...]
The List II: Newt Gingrich
This weeks “List” tackles former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. I’ve made no secret of my distaste for the former Speaker over the years. In fact, among all the GOP candidates, I don’t think I have a more visceral dislike of anyone more than “Professor“ Newt Gingrich. Even BSC* Michele Bachmann and Rick ”Don’t Google My Name” Santorum, who [...]
The List II: Mitt Romney
(Attention: With Ron Paul’s pseudo-concession of the race to Romney [May 14th], I have moved this List to its own page linked on the Toolbar above. For the latest updates, please view that version instead. – Mugsy) Welcome to our first installment of “The List II”: An archive of links to comments, stated policies/agendas, misconduct, hypocrisy [...]
“The List” is returning: Mugsy’s Master List of Reasons to NOT Vote for Each GOP Candidate, all December long.
Back in October of 2010, I posted “The List”: A list of 101 Reasons Why the GOP Should Not Be Allowed to Regain Control. “The List” was very popular, and (I’d like to think) played a part in preventing over a half-dozen of the most radical teanut ideologues from winning their respective races (Angle, Miller, Fiorina, [...]
Defending Myself, condemning the indefensible.
Most people know me from one of two places: either my YouTube page or from my weekly reporting of the Sunday Morning Talkshows over at Crooks & Liars. At the end of all my posts is the following tagline: Final Bush tally: 10,300+ DEAD (3,000 on 9/11. 4,500 in Iraq, 1000 in Afg. 1,800 in [...]
