Double secret impeachment

Hard to believe the movie, National Lampoon’s Animal House premiered more than 40 years ago. The film has a marble-laced parade of chaotic scenes from Bluto Blutarsky’s food fight, to beer-fueled road trips, to toga parties that introduced a generation to the Isley Brother’s 1959 song “Shout” (performed in the movie by Otis Day and the Knights), which today is the staple of wedding reception DJs. But there’s also a scene of administrative absurdity that has worked its way into the country’s psyche and lives on as an internet meme. Looking at the scene now, there is an unsettling chill of life imitating art by a real-life fraternity—the Animal House of Representatives.

Democracy vs. Liberty

With the inauguration of President Donald Trump, the talking hairdos and empty suits in the main stream media’s punditry class broke into a sweat with a collective case of the vapors. Sizing up Trump as the Prince of Perdition, their reporting better resembled a Nostradamus vision of the Apocalypse than coverage of the Constitutional transfer of power.

Was cleaning out the email bag and thought I would share some of the more evocative emails we received this year from our blog readers.

Dear Mr. Lordi,

I enjoy reading your blog and particularly like your post, “What Would Jesus Tweet.” 

The 2016 Quo Vadis? Satan’s Stool Sample Award Goes to . . .

It’s here.

You waited all year, the excitement building, the anticipation nearing fever pitch, the speculation non-stop.  Who is the winner of this year’s The Quo Vadis? Satan’s Stool Sample Award, a recognition of a person so obnoxious, so vile, so contemptible, that nothing they deserve more is a steaming pile of black excrement from the darkest of Dark Angles?

There is no one who better exemplified these character failures in 2016 better than Hillary Rodham Clinton.

But Hill didn’t win this year’s Satan’s Stool Sample Award for the reasons you may think.
