True story: Ruth Vader Ginsburg was the name of Darth's long lost cousin and Chief Justice of the Supreme Imperial Court in the original draft of Star Wars. She was an ugly-ass b**ch, too.

For all the lefties, here's a more stirring depiction of Dear Leader.

It'll either be a great time for people who like political arguments and all the behind-the-scenes action, or it'll be the schism that finally tears the Republican Party to shreds.

Santorum's not my guy, but I'm so effing sick of every damned article or news report trying desperately to convince us of Romney's inevitability. This thing will go all the way to the convention, and if Romney's lucky, he'll squeak by with just enough delegates.

The convention will be an absolute mess as half the people there won't approve of the nominee.

First, you haven't suggested anything that will make a difference. Sanctions will do absolutely nothing. We've had an embargo on Cuba for half a century, and in case you haven't noticed, the Castro bros are still in charge. What will sanctions on Iran do? They'll make the citizens who hate the regime start seriously hating the foreigners who are starving them. Said differently, sanctions will drive the young people — who are more westernized than many folks realize — into supporting the mullahs they currently despise. We need to keep the young people on our side. They vastly outnumber the older radicals who are dying off and will be the key to a more moderate future.

Second, by suggesting Israel can't do something on her own because it might invite retaliation, you imply we have no choice but to do it instead. What kind of bass-ackwards kind of thinking is that? You're essentially saying we have to do everything for Israel because there'd be blowback against Israel if they did it. Won't there be blowback against us? Do you honestly think we can drop bombs on Iran and have nothing bad happen in return? Not only is this incredibly naive, it also overlooks the fact that Iran has consistently said if we bomb Iran, they'll bomb Israel in retaliation. In other words, if Israel bombs Iran, Iran bombs Israel. If we bomb Iran, Iran bombs Israel.

(I won't even go into the fact that the Pentagon has already said bombs won't be enough to stop an Iranian nuclear program. It will require boots on the ground, and if you think we can afford that — or that the American people will stand for it — you're probably crazy.)

Folks, they're gonna go nuclear at some point. And when they do, we'll still have subs parked off their coast, ready to annihilate them at a moment's notice. Israel will still have hundreds of nukes pointed at them, ready to annihilate them at a moment's notice. We've already spent enough blood and treasure over the last decade without seeing any real return for that effort. Let's be a little smarter over the next ten years than we have been.

If he goes to Washington and pounds people into quivering puddles of Jell-O, I'm behind Mr. Johnson 100%.

"I will never resign myself to Mitt Romney until I have to get drunk and push a button for him in November."

I predict a lot of people stumbling into the voting booth in November. I'm know I'm gonna have to be blitzed.

Use 'em for advertising, like tiny Goodyear blimps armed with high resolution surveillance cameras and short-range missiles.

"I just prefer we quit wasting time and energy on things like this."

Are you kidding? This is one of those red meat issues designed by the folks in charge to distract people from the fact that, regardless of party affiliation, the idiots in the state capitals and in DC have their noses to the grindstone, working feverishly to screw over all of us. They want us wasting time and energy on things like this.

If we're paying attention to gay marriage, it means we're not paying attention to all the new laws and regulations and taxes. It means we're not paying attention to the $15 trillion debt. This is exactly how our rulers want it.

It's as though the phrase "Commerce Clause" is some kind of mystical incantation which renders all other sections of the Constitution obsolete. And if you listen to the talking heads, that's precisely the argument they try to make. "If you're a church it's one thing, but if you want to sell insurance in this country..." Blah blah blah.

There's zip in the Constitution about insurance (or, indeed, about business regulation period), and the faulty reasoning employed in mangling the Commerce Clause to justify every action of government is easily refuted by a cursory glance at the writings of the Founders themselves. The Commerce Clause, contrary to popular opinion, is directed at the states — not at businesses in this country. The Constitution deals with limits placed upon government, not the citizens. Why should we think the Commerce Clause is different, that it grants the government virtually unlimited power?

What these people want is a government without limits, a government which can tell all of us when to jump and how high. Sane people recognize that as tyranny.
