It is all as Dr. J. has foretold. The Supreme Court upheld the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 5-4. Dr. J. expected more intellectual honesty from the ladies (and Mr. Breyer) of the court, resulting in a 7-2 or … Continue reading →
Evidence is a strong teacher. Children will hear their parents tell them to wear heavy coats when it is cold outside but argue and refuse, only to find out that the advice makes a lot of sense. Based on the … Continue reading →
The Czar’s day-to-day annoyance level is pretty typical, and normally we shrug off morons who put political bumper stickers on their cars. Bumper stickers are written by and for people with a shallow understanding of the topic, but feel they … Continue reading →
‘Puter’s been busy herding cats and doing other folks’ jobs for them over the last several days. As such, he hasn’t had much time to cogitate on current events. In ‘Puter’s own inimitable, ADHD addled style, here are a few … Continue reading →
If you haven’t seen this piece yet, it’s worth it. The NYT ran an Op-Ed by Timothy Egan about Walmart and its payscales for employees – clearly advocating for a higher wage. Walmart, in a very non-traditional corporate response, posted … Continue reading →
So, President Obama dropped a new one on us yesterday that was so bad, even the Washington Post is calling out his blunder. In a response to a question, “Do you wish you had left a residual force in Iraq? Any … Continue reading →
Here’s what’s rattling around in ‘Puter’s head this morning, in no particular order. ‘Puter agrees with GorT. There’s precious little chance the IRS inadvertently “lost” Lois Lerner’s emails. To so thoroughly erase all traces of such emails requires more than … Continue reading →
From the Fox News link on the Redskins Trademark ruling, this quote from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid: “Daniel Snyder may be the last person in the world to realize this, but it’s just a matter of time until he is … Continue reading →
Today, the US Patent office ruled 2-1 that the Washington Redskins’ trademarks are patently offensive. What his means is that folks can make legally make Redskins memorabilia without paying royalties to Dan Snyder, the Redskins and the NFL. The Redskins, … Continue reading →
Dr. J. wrote on this subject over a year and a season ago, that is that new life begins at conception. That is scientific fact. It has stronger evidence than global warming, and certainly stronger evidence than man-made causes of … Continue reading →
While we’re on the kick of pointing out the lies that the Obama Administration has foisted upon the country, how about this one: Now pop over to this great piece on Forbes.com where they cite an analysis of 3,137 of … Continue reading →
Operative SMR writes in the following: To the Puissant and Metallic GorTechie, Please do not allow the red herring of the “lost” emails. Remember Occam’s Razor. The emails are not “lost.” The administration is flat out lying. Again. Your trembling … Continue reading →
GorT has been in the IT business as a full-time career for over 20 years and in and around computers since 1980. The whole “IRS lost Lerner’s emails” is such a crock of shit that I’m not sure where to … Continue reading →
Operative BJ writes in with something that has been bugging a lot of people, including your Czar, regarding the alleged loss of every critical Lois Lerner email—to and from—regarding the IRS scandal. Your Majesty, Even I, a lowly minion, am … Continue reading →
Just a quick mention that largely through the hard work of the Volgi, we are releasing a Visitor’s Guide to the Castle. Many of you might not be aware of all the references made, the categories/hashtags of the posts, etc. … Continue reading →
The other night, Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA) was soundly defeated in his primary by Virginia citizen David Brat. The punditosphere proceeded to navel gaze and read the tea leaves as it is not everyday, or even every primary, in which an … Continue reading →
Yeah, ‘Puter knows House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA7) lost his primary, but that’s not the most important political development from yesterday, and not by a long shot.* Less noticed but more important is Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rolf … Continue reading →
Gentle Readers, Superbusy is evolving into the new normal for Dr. J. Today’s mailbag has three letters. The first comes form Operative Run SMC regarding the Apple/Dr. J. Axis: Dear Dr. J., So, I think Apple knows who you all … Continue reading →
The FIFA 2014 World Cup starts Thursday and the talk of soccer in the United States is heating up. Of course, most of the discussion centers around two topics: (1) how unlikely it is that the United States’ Men’s National … Continue reading →
As everyone knows,* student loans are the sole reason today’s college graduates are unable to enter adulthood. This ginormous debt burden forces grads to decamp their college digs for their parents’ basements. We are told by our media betters that … Continue reading →
The Czar’s post reminds me that we did in fact discuss some grilling/smoking stuff during the ad hoc Gormogonicon earlier this spring. Much like the Czar, GorT has grilled all sorts of things. As far as smoking in my vertical … Continue reading →
Curiously perhaps, but all six of the Gormogons who write on this site have some sort of skill with food. Some of us are better in the kitchen and some of us are better out in the backyard, but each … Continue reading →
Your Czarness: Loved the analysis of girls’ volleyball! The Bubbas and I were watching SEC softball last week and I observed a lot of differences compared to SEC baseball, and it was not just the ponytails with team-color-ribbons in the … Continue reading →
A lot of folks are going rightfully nutso over a recent image taken by the Hubble telescope, which is aged and obsolete by all accounts. But boy, it can take some pictures. This is the photo that’s tearing it up … Continue reading →
Gentle Readers, One of Dr. J.’s colleagues posted this meme on his Facebook page. It is emblematic with the problems of environmental leftists in particular and leftists in general. Their point is obvious. The pollution in cities in the early … Continue reading →
America negotiated with terrorists to secure the release of a soldier* who, based on the facts available as of this posting, is likely a deserter. Not only did America break one of its most rigid rules to secure this soldier’s … Continue reading →
Just so we are clear, the Veterans Affairs problem still exists, but thanks to Shinseki’s resignation, they’re now one person short. So imagine this email we received from a doctor with inside information. What follows is not for the faint … Continue reading →
GorT normally covers kids playing sports—and trust your Czar on this one, but he has a cannon ready to fire on that—but the Czar quite by chance found himself attending a regional volleyball tournament over the weekend. No, the Czar … Continue reading →
