Kickin’ The Can Down The Road
We doubt much will happen re Iran despite the frantic meme soup mania. An enrichment weapons grade nuclear facility does turn heads. Perhaps the Russians were duped – we are not prepared to take Obama staffers’ ‘expert’ body language at face value. But then Dear Reader, you need to recall how the Soviets/Russians compartmentalize. Consider [...]
Administrativa
Please bear with us as we update the Bunker. We apologize for the contractors, tarps and assorted pieces of dry board Wotan Steel lying about. Should only take a day or so. In the interim, we invite new readers to visit the updated Art Gallery. More will be added but from the beginning to end [...]
The Boy King (And Democrats) Want Us To Follow Them Into The Desert
You know you’ve been thinking the same thing. If only a primary challenge was more than a sophomoric reflex. The Democratic ‘Party’ as political construct is a dysfunctional, dissipated golem. 6 more years? Who wants to contemplate just another 2? ___ n.b. Another blank on your iGadget? Kvetch to Steve Jobs per usual.

The crazy kids at NRO slam the Age of Newt.

re the Skorzeny manse, trying to see the ‘ratline’ from there to the Continent down to Rome . . .
All points taken, James. Hadn’t realized it until you mentioned it, but now just see Asimov hair.
Oddly – this house was once owned by Otto Skorzeny, but they don’t really advertise that fact:

A reference to Galactus invests the Newt with far too much gravitas. (Though I agree that he’s just scamming for his next meal.)
How well do you know the Fourth World saga? Newt Gingrich has the moral decency of Glorious Godfrey and the intellectual heft of Funky Flashman.
I can’t get over that hair. He’s like a little Isaac Asimov!
@James Nostack You know, James, there is a sort of Galactus-in-the-making-hoping-to-be vibe going, now that you mention it. A shame the mere picture deprives us of the smooth stylings of Bachman-Turner Overdrive . . .
That would be a funny book, and who knows, maybe it was on a TOR slush pile. Our friend who used to commission and edit him later often wanted to pull his hair out in frustration, even after pairing him with a previously published writer.
what is the name of that sci-fi book? it sounds fascinating, like steam-punk gone nuclear.
I must admit, he’s looking pretty boss.
Newt Gingrich’s fashion choices predicted 2011 Williamsburg, Brooklyn?? He truly is a visionary, or at least a Jack Kirby villain.
