A Trimphus For The Conquering Hero
Posted on 22. Jan, 2013 by Theodore Roe in Analysis, Current Events
Here we are, back at the beginning. Four years ago I wrote an article, Panem Et Circenses On The Potomac, chronicling the epic overindulgence of the raucous coronation of our Lord and Savior King Barack Obama. The 2008 Obama inauguration was such a spectacle of waste and excess that this comparison is not difficult to [...]

Posted on 23. Dec, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Today’s topic: Political chicanery with a Christmas twist! Dreaming Of A Working Government by Theodore Roe Three years ago I wrote a little ditty about how the Democrat-dominated legislature couldn’t stop writing stupid laws. Now they can’t seem to write anything at all. So, without further ado, I give you my rendition of White Christmas [...]

Desperation, Foolishness, Drive Romney To New Lows
Posted on 17. Sep, 2012 by Lucy Raed in Current Events, Politics
Last week Mitt Romney yet again proved what a tremendously terrible president he would be. He chose to make political hay over how a local embassy chief expressed a message of religious tolerance hours before a riot broke out, and laid the blame for this chief’s actions squarely at the feet of President Barack Obama. Rarely have I seen this level of idiocy displayed on the national stage.
Paul Ryan’s Demise
Posted on 12. Aug, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Paul Ryan may have made the greatest mistake of his political career yesterday when he publically admitted to the crime of being stupid enough to jump on the Romney ticket. I’m not sure what he was promised, how much campaign money and/or political clout the RNC heavies offered him, but there is no way it [...]
Should The Big G Be Your Sugar Daddy?
Posted on 04. Feb, 2012 by Theodore Roe in Current Events, Politics
Sweet, sweet sucrose-injected, fructose-laced damnation awaits us all, at least according to a recent article in Nature magazine. Three researchers in California have produced a report that shows the toxic danger of sugar, eventually going on to suggest that it should be regulated by federal governments as a controlled substance. I would like to sidestep [...]

Theo’s Twit Of The Week: Sarah Palin
Posted on 25. Dec, 2011 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
This week’s Twit must have had a Death Panel visit her popularity rating in Alaska! Get ready for some One Nation bus tour style hi-jinks with everyone’s favorite half-term Governor: Sarah Palin Sarah Palin must be getting desperate. In all the shuffle and general hub-bub of the Republican primary debates, it seems that TV and [...]
The Grand Old Problem For The GOP
Posted on 01. Sep, 2011 by Alex Sharp in Analysis, Current Events
In an increasingly anxious political environment, largely brought on by the spectacular failure of the much promised “Change We Can Believe In” agenda, the Republican leadership has fallen into an old trap. It appears that in their rush to make a huge media splash and gain national attention, they have yet again allowed the Grand [...]
Good Money After Bad: The Fed Gives Fanny And Freddie Limitless Funds
Posted on 28. Dec, 2009 by Theodore Roe in Current Events
The news wire (pardon the anachronism) was buzzing today about the Treasury’s decision to remove the 200 billion dollar cap on aid to drowning mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The two companies have been in government conservatorship since the sub-prime housing bubble popped late last year. Word of the new blank check the [...]
