A Yankee In the Statehouse

BOB BROWN/TIMES-DISPATCH

Former President Bill Clinton, left, smiles as Governor-elect Terry MCauliffe, right, and his wife, Dorothy, head down the steps of the State Capitol in Richmond, Va.. on Saturday, Jan. 11, 2014, for McAuliffe's swearing-in as the 72nd governor of Virginia.

Duck Dynasty it aint.

A Graph of Misery

There is only one job available for every three people who want one. Where have all the jobs gone?

Another Goodbye

What are we to do now? Could someone tell me, please.

Could Have Been Longer

It's pretty cool Google hasn't blown up this site, despite my recent lack of activity, most of which is attributable to poor health, alcohol and general sloth. On a more upbeat note, congrats to Barry...but I really love Elizabeth Warren being In and Joe Leiberliar being OUT. Hope springs eternal in an idiots breast. How does Hillary's blood clot rate more negative reporting than all the GOP sexcapades of the last 4 years? How 'bout those Redskins?

The God Squad, or Maybe Not

Dan Amira highlights The Almighty's seeming lack of support for a few of his GOP minions in The New York Magazine:

Every Candidate Endorsed by God Has Now Lost to Mitt Romney

 The end — sorry, um, suspension — of Rick Santorum's presidential campaign is a major milestone in the primary race, clearing the way, as it does, for Mitt Romney to cruise here on out to the nomination essentially unchallenged. But Santorum's withdrawal is also a major milestone for God, the beloved all-powerful deity whose personal endorsement somehow failed to secure the nomination for any of the numerous Republicans — Santorum, Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and Rick Perry — whom he reportedly encouraged to run for president. It is unclear at this point whether God will even bother to offer anyone his apparently useless endorsement in the general election.

We can thank the DPE for up to the minute culinary advice.

We can thank Winchester, VA for Rick Santorum.
