If Donald Trump and Joe Biden really did duke it out behind the gym, who would win? Here’s Trump’s take: “Did you see where Biden wants to take me to the back of the barn? Me! I’d love that. Mr. Tough Guy. You know when he’s Mr. Tough Guy? When he’s standing behind a […]
Come on, Amercia! Wake up!
God bless Amercia. Or, as that memorable television character Marica Brady liked to say: “Ooh, my nose.” I’m with the Romney campaign on this one. Everybody on the freaking planet now misspells the word “lose” as “loose” and nobody gives them any grief at all. But one little typo in a presidential campaign and […]
It’s all about the barns
Today I received some materials from the Romney campaign. That’s the price of registering as an independent. The package included a large photo of the candidate, standing in front of a weathered barn. There’s a tractor in the shot, and an American flag. Mitt is wearing slightly-used jeans.

Whole lotta lyin’ goin’ on
So I guess Mitt Romney will finally manage to win one in Florida. But he’s had to do it the hard way: With several million dollars worth of ads comparing Newt Gingrich unfavorably to Lord Voldemort. Gingrich has been doing the same thing to Romney, of course, but then had the misfortune to appear […]
Obama, Al Green and the fat man
So we’ve got the president channeling Al Green and Newt Gingrich looking like he can win in South Carolina. Two guys defying my cynical and uninformed expectations. There is a reason I don’t get paid to analyze politics. How about that Obama? This is going to make the Tea Party types hate him all […]
