The Daily Gouge

It’s Wednesday, October 10th, 2018…but before we begin, if you thought Lisa Murkowski’s reason for giving Brett Kavanaugh a thumbs-down was specious, consider why Heidi Heitkamp voted “no”: his body language! We had no idea the soon-to-be ex-Senator from North Dakota… …was so skilled in the art of non-verbal communication.  Hells bells, she’s the Mandan, […]

It’s Monday, October 8th, Columbus Day 2018…but before we begin, a few random thoughts on the passing scene. #1: As our friend Jeff Foutch noted on Friday, whoever Lisa Murkowski faces in 2022 will be getting a check from us.  Consider this bit of pompous self-aggrandizement: “I take this obligation…as seriously as anything that I am […]

It’s Friday, October 5th, 2018…but before we begin, two quick observations.  First, if Joe Scarborough can see it…  …it’s as undeniably obvious as the ears on Obama’s head. Second, only the Party of Stupid could create this confluence of calamitous circumstances: As Kavanaugh vote looms, GOP Sen. Daines says he’s going to daughter’s wedding […]

It’s Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018…but before we begin, along with John Fund writing at NRO., inquiring minds want to know not only… Who Was behind the Flake Set-Up? ACORN’s tactics live on in the senator’s elevator confrontation with activists from a Soros-backed group.   …but more importantly, how did those two haranguing harpies get past security?!?  […]

It’s Monday, October 1st, 2018…but before we begin, one brief observation on the current culture inspired by the baseless character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh.  By now, most of you’ve probably heard about the little girl who was asked to tone it down by a fellow Astros fan. Various accounts described the woman as “screaming” or […]

It’s Friday, September 28th, 2018,…but before we begin, we offer two thoughts on the Kavanaugh kangaroo court: first, our adaption of Cordell Hull’s response to the Japanese ultimatum of December 7, 1941: In all our 62 years, we have never seen a spurious accusation more crowded with infamous falsehoods and distortions – on a scale […]

It’s Wednesday, September 26th, 2018…but before we begin, G. Trevor just cracked the Kavanaugh case wide open: By the way, if you haven’t seen it, George Snuffleupagus just set a new low for Progressive hypocrisy:  That was now; this was then:  As Conservative Chris Barron was quick to note… “Stephanopoulos is also flat […]

It’s Monday, September 24th, 2018…and here’s The Gouge! We kick off the last week of September with this offering from the editorial board of the WSJ: The Presumption of Guilt The new liberal standard turns American due process upside down.    “As Judge Kavanaugh stands to gain the lifetime privilege of serving on the country’s […]

It’s Friday, September 21st, 2018…and as a combination of business and pleasure limited our creativity for most of the day, here’s an abbreviated edition of The Gouge! First up, Speed Mach forwarded the following column by John Kass writing at the Chicago Tribune: Eviscerating Kavanaugh: Sen. Feinstein, have you no sense of decency?   Uhhh, that would […]

It’s Wednesday, September 19th, 2018…but before we begin, courtesy of Wink Martindale, here’s another truly “late” breaking story whose provenance is as questionable as that of Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser: Now, here’s The Gouge! We lead off the Wednesday edition with two thoughts on the latest Kavanaugh kerfuffle: first, this forward from G. Trevor succinctly summarizes […]
