Now, here’s The Gouge! First up, […]

It’s Saturday, January 26th, 2013….and once again, despite the weekend, so many breaking stories….so little time. So, here’s The Gouge!

It’s Friday, January 25th, 2013….and here’s The Gouge!

It’s Thursday, January 24th, 2013….and before we begin, a brief bit of commentary on a very dark day for America, which, following immediately on the heels of The Obamao’s 2nd inauguration is saying something.  As the WSJ reports: Pentagon to Drop Exclusion on Women in Combat    A parting shot from Leon Panetta?  Hardly; it’s […]

It’s Wednesday, January 23rd, 2013….and here’s The Gouge! Headlining the mid-week edition, two opposing views of John Boehner’s debt-ceiling dance; first, writing at the WaPo, the AEI‘s Marc Thiessen describes what he believes to be…. An inaugural gift from the GOP   You’re welcome! They should be holding today’s inauguration on the deck of the […]

It’s Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013….and for those who think The Anointed One’s second coming would usher in a new era of bipartisan congeniality and harmony….

It’s Monday, January 1st, 2013….and while the Ravens are going to New Orleans…. ….Tom Brady’s headed home to Giselle; who’s to say who got the better end of that deal?   Regardless, it’s late, we’re tired, but we’ve just enough energy to send out an Inaugural Special.  So here’s The Gouge! Since a picture’s worth […]

It’s Saturday, January 19th, 2013….and once again, since the Ravens are playing Sunday evening, and we had enough material by 0830 Friday morning for another edition, here’s The Gouge! First up, as the front page of the WSJ reports, The Gang That Still Can’t Shoot Straight fires back….well, sorta fires back: House to Vote on […]

It’s Friday, January 18th, 2013….but before we begin, a quick video clip forwarded by Bill Meisen which begs a couple of simple questions the Empire State’s crack team of investigative journalists never thought to ask: As Mr. Meisen noted, if cops facing a crazed gunman need more than 7 shots, shouldn’t law-abiding citizens facing a […]
