Dirty Andy Cuomo

There was a bit of artwork in the WSJ that showed discount broker Chuck Schwab using a punching bag with the face of Dirty Andy Cuomo. Cuomo is a second generation hack who has high ambitions and is going after certain people on Wall Street. He wants to become governor and with the bumbler currently [...]

Quick Fixes

A Federal Appeals Court just overruled the decision of Federal Judge Gregory Sleet and said “No” to sports betting in Delaware. From a judicial standpoint, this should come as no surprise, given Sleet’s quirky reputation. “Sports betting“ is being touted by an assortment of Delaware hacks as an economic panacea but this may simply be [...]

Lionizing Monsters

The Scottish Twit who released the convicted terrorist is a person deserving of a slow and painful natural death for the further outrage that he has perpetrated on the victims of an atrocious mass murder of innocent victims.

The Arrogance of Incumbents

Members of Congress have little fear of losing their jobs. It was once said that the only threat was a scandal involving a live boy or a dead girl and Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy have disproved that. A few may live in rare marginal districts where they can be ousted but most have a [...]

Contrived Anger?

There was contrived anger over the dismissal of some political appointees from their jobs as United States Attorneys. Such persons serve at the pleasure of the President and typically all are replaced at a change of party at the White House. Those dumped were not Democrat appointees but Bush appointees who allegedly were doing a [...]
