Robert Gibbs Sends Me an Urgent EMail!

First things, first, though.  I’ve decided I can’t tell the story of horror and mortification that was my Friday evening.  You’ll have to take my word for it that it actually has naught to do with said mortification, but I can say no more.  Get a few drinks in me, and that might change. That [...]

President Obama Copycats Me!

I don’t know if he has his minions watching my Twitter feed, or what, but hell if I didn’t go out for burgers Thursday night with Caleb, College Politico Steve, and Minority Report Bob, which surely resulted in a huge surge in sales of hamburgers with mayo and bone fragment.  Sure, he just “decided” to [...]
