Smarmey vs. Maddox

by Frumpzilla on December 17, 2009

Well, frumps, you might have missed it if you blinked but the Capitol hosted yet another Tea Party on Tuesday.  Numbers are decidedly down – could be the holiday season, the perma-recession or a scarcity of free bus rides provided by Fat PACs – Tea Party bloggers pegged the number at “a couple thousand;” other [...]

The Party’s Over

by Frumpzilla on November 22, 2009

The Party’s Over
Well, frumps, I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later:  Glenn Beck is feeling his oats and is going all political activist on us.  Maybe it was the success of his 912 Project’s Million-or-so Wingnut March on Washington, or maybe it was the warm fuzzy rush when Candidate Doug Hoffman cited [...]

World Class Ditherers

by Frumpzilla on November 7, 2009

In a rare show of bipartisanship, GOP members of the House helped their liberal counterparts to declaw the Patriot Act by attending Michelle Bachmanns “Super Bowl of Freedom” rather than doing their job (which, on Thursday, involved voting on one of the Republicans’ pet issues – National Security).
Three sections of the Bush legacy Patriot Act [...]

Eyes On The Prize

by Frumpzilla on October 10, 2009

Well, frumps, it’s probably best that President Obama’s Nobel Prize announcement came on a Friday.  It means that we’ve gotten through knee-jerk reactions, Twittermania and conservative blog bashing.  The rest of the world has taken some time to absorb input from saner sources – such as the Nobel Prize Committee, other heads of state and [...]

What’s a Party To Do?

by Frumpzilla on October 2, 2009

Well, frumps, it appears that we have an official outbreak of sanity and truth-telling in politics – fancy that. That is not to say that this unusual ailment has reached epidemic proportions but it’s noticeable enough, I think, that we can take heart that we are not on the big toboggan to hell. As we [...]

What’s a Minority Party To Do?

by Frumpzilla on September 15, 2009

Thank you, Glenn Beck, for proving to us, this past weekend, that we really have nothing to fear but fear itself.  After six months of planning, organizing and publicizing the 912 Project, even with the help of  Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks troops,  actual turnout for the 912 March on D.C. on a balmy September weekend, has [...]

The Windmills of Beck’s Mind

by Frumpzilla on September 12, 2009

Well, frumps, the big day has finally arrived.  What “big day” you ask?  Well it’s September 12th, of course, the day that Glenn Beck invented, back in March, in a weepy fit of tea-baggy nostalgia for the good old days of terror and chaos immediately after the 9/11 attacks.  Although many of us can only [...]

Wake Up, America! Glenn Beck = Al Qaeda

by Frumpzilla on September 3, 2009

Well, frumps, I have a confession to make.  I’ve been withholding information of a very sensitive but critical nature.  I don’t like to be one to set off needless alarums or to cry wolf at a time when we have more than enough bad news on our plates.  That said, though, September 12 is fast [...]
