Relive Bob Woodward’s Epic Swordfight With H.R. Haldeman In ‘Watergate: The Videogame’
For someone who spends the day sitting at a computer with NPR playing in the background, Yr Doktor Zoom doesn’t actually use many NPR stories as the starting point for his Wonkets. Today, an exception: We heard this thing on the radio t’other day and knew we would have to write about it, because A) [...]
Dictators’ Errand Boy/Fox News Democrat Lanny Davis Explains Left Is Hateful
Southern California has a plethora of tourist destinations so it is understandable if you have never felt compelled to visit the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda.

Insert Watergate Headline Here
Good Monday! In the news today, Republican battles to not be involved in Mitt Romney’s campaign at all intensify, “Tricky Dick” had a mortifying nickname for a reason, and the Supreme Court wants you to stop telling them how fat they look in their robes. All of Mitt’s potential running mates are just too cool [...]
