The Daily Gouge

It’s Wednesday, March 16th, 2016…but before we begin, Marco, now that you’ve finally faced the inevitable, for the good of the country, PLEASE finally do the right thing… …to make up for your Gang of Eight apostasy and urge every one of your constituents…and delegates…to back Ted Cruz!  Oh,…and John, you may have won, but America […]

It’s Monday, March 14th, 2016…but before we begin, two brief observations.  First, this headline: Chicago PD: We Didn’t Tell Trump to Cancel the Rally   Integrity = honesty = telling the truth…which just ain’t in him! On Friday, a planned Donald Trump rally in Chicago was canceled after protestors swarmed the event venue. In a […]

It’s Friday, March 11th, 2016…but before we begin, three brief thoughts.  First, Jeffrey Herf identifies what we perceive to be the problem with Trump’s contention his self-proclaimed “deal-making” skills will transfer well outside the world of his real estate bubble: “For him, whose name hangs over casinos in New Jersey and Las Vegas, and who […]

It’s Wednesday, March 9th, 2016…but before we begin, the latest anti-Trump/pro-Republic campaign ad attacking The Donald’s…”colorful“…and limited…vocabulary: No, Don; to borrow a phrase from the immortal Tony Soprano…with whose real-life counterparts you undoubtedly had innumerable…er,…”business deals”… By the way, Trumpeteers, your man was caught in yet another lie last week; and it gets worse. Please: […]

It’s Monday, March 7th, 2016…but before we begin, a brief thought on the actual odds of Hillary ever being charged, let alone serving time for her obvious email illegalities. Forget all the spin and obfuscation from The Left; the WSJ is right: Hillary ought to hang.  Okay, the Journal didn’t put it so provocatively; we proposed […]

It’s Friday, March 4th, 2016…but before we begin, here’s Hope n’ Change‘s preview of the style of reasoned debate we missed by ignoring tonight’s RNC-sponsored Mudslingathon: These aren’t debates; they’re more like the comments section from some internet posting with Trump playing the role of the unreasoned, obnoxious troll.  Were Cruz and Rubio cognizant of […]

It’s Monday, February 29th, 2016…which means it must be a Presidential election year.  But before we begin, a brief observation regarding a consistent theme we’ve detected running through a recent spate of racially-motivated “hate” crimes.  Submitted for your perusal, Exhibit “A”… Marine Assaulted At McDonald’s, As Gang Yelled ‘Do You Believe Black Lives Matter?’   […]

It’s Friday, February 26th, 2016…but before we begin, a couple points to ponder regarding the stench of dysfunction currently permeating the atmosphere on both sides of the aisle.  First, Jonah Goldberg opines on the odor increasingly emanating from The Right… “…The morals of this story so far should be familiar. First, you can’t count on […]

It’s Wednesday, February 24th, 2016…but hold the countdown for a brief observation about the end…mercifully, at least for the country in our opinion…of the Bush dynasty.  As we’ve observed before, George H.W. Bush breaking his no-new-taxes pledge, along with an incredibly listless campaign, birthed 8 years of Bubba.  George W.’s most enduring legacy, due to […]

It’s Monday, February 22nd, 2016…but before we begin, anyone remotely interested in the continued future of independent blogging, i.e., the free, unfettered exchange of information absent any government cencorship would do well to heed the latest offering from Hope n’ Change: For want of a nail, the shoe was lost.  At this point in time, […]
