Meet Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY28), 12 term representative, native of Kentucky (with the accent to match), and arguably the second most powerful woman in Congress, as chairman of the Rules Committee. In the best New York Tammany Hall style politics, … Continue reading →

Well, as we try to do, the Gormogons extend a personal welcome to our latest follower, the preemptively-named ObamaScandals. Alas for the Republic, he or she will probably be busy. (Baby, don’t you want to go | To that same … Continue reading →

Deleveraging and Obama

The Gormogons Posted on January 5, 2009 by 'PuterJanuary 5, 2009

Google “consumer deleverage” and/or “business deleverage” and see how many hits you get. ‘Puter’ll wait. Many, many commentators, from the famous to the not-so-famous think, in dangerously simplified terms, that our financial house is burning in large part because we … Continue reading →

Pathetic

The Gormogons Posted on January 5, 2009 by 'PuterJanuary 5, 2009

This whole Roland Burris as President Elect Obama’s successor in the Senate is pathetic on a most basic level when you think about it. Leaving aside the Gov. Blagojevic angle, and the President Elect Obama angle, we’re left with a … Continue reading →

Democrats are Racist

The Gormogons Posted on January 5, 2009 by 'PuterJanuary 5, 2009

So say the Democrats themselves. Black Chicago politicians are screaming racism because Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) was pushing for Gov. Blagojevic (D-IL) to appoint a non-black replacement for President Elect Obama. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of race … Continue reading →

Pepsi In the Can for Obama?

The Gormogons Posted on January 4, 2009 by 'PuterJanuary 4, 2009

Admittedly, The Kmiec Ramblings beat me to this observation, but the new Pepsi logo looks exactly like the Obama campaign logo. Pepsi, or its ad agency, apparently has no problem rubbing 46% of the voting population’s nose in it.  See … Continue reading →
