Schumer Against Iran Deal
Here’s some big news tucked away on a busy GOP presidential debate night: Sen. Chuck Schumer is opposing the Iran nuke deal. Here’s the scoop from The New York Times.
Deal or No Deal
I just watched President Obama’s speech on Wednesday defending the nuclear deal with Iran. The speech, in front of a friendly audience, was pretty insulting. First, he repeated misleading assertions about “anytime, anywhere” inspections (a condition applicable to declared sites, but apparently not applicable where … Continue reading
Truman’s Hump Day Song of the Week: Get Lucky
Stay up late enough and you’ll see some weird (or repulsive) stuff on TV. Is it my imagination or does V. Stiviano have an Adam’s apple? Dig around long enough on DOD computer networks and, apparently, you’ll find a contingency plan for … Continue reading
Truman’s Hump Day Song of the Week: We’ll Meet Again
I suppose if I was one of the forgotten caretakers of America’s nuclear arsenal – left to rot in coffin-like bunkers waiting for a war that will never happen – I’d also nap with the blast doors open, have a problem … Continue reading
Entertainment for the Next Ice Age
It’s beginning to look a lot like another Ice Age this weekend. Perfect weather for survivalists looking to validate their multimillion dollar investments in fully stocked and fortified bunkers. Not-so-perfect weather for interstate air commuters. Here’s what’s on tap for … Continue reading

There’s a love story woven in … Continue reading

‘If You’ve Got a Business, You Didn’t Build That…’ or Did I?
President Obama made an ill-advised remark last week during a campaign rally in Roanoke that – depending on whom you ask – was completely benign or a glimpse into his socialist soul. A full transcript of his remarks is provided … Continue reading

PDA You Should Keep Inside Your Pocket
I’ve become mostly immune to aberrant behavior after being surrounded by the douchey guys and Kesha lookalikes of D.C. for the better part of seven years, but even this was too much to ignore. I was standing in line at … Continue reading

D.C. Doomsday: No Air Conditioning
Sharpen your 7-irons and top off those margaritas, fellow D.C. thunderstorm survivors — all 2 million of you. (My condolences to the families of those who died). My experience over the past 48 hours tells me one thing: we are … Continue reading
