Petard comes from Latin.  Petar means "to break wind."  Seems appropriate.

I really do wonder about the president's staff.  Didn't anyone do a little research to make sure she would be a good example?

He is a classic arrogant leader.  No one can be on his staff that is smarter than him.  Makes for a pretty incompetent bunch.

Particularly when he's focused on preparing for reporters' questions about his college basketball championship brackets. Priorities, after all...

I thought it was his laser-like focus on jobs.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Sure. The jobs of the staffers at BLS fudging the employment/unemployment statistics.

Well, maybe that is why so many have burned up and gone "POOF" since 2008?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

If by that you mean the only Harpo who ever mattered to me was a Marx Brother, why yes, and thank you.
