Yeah, I decided I’m the dope of the week having contracted SSS (Sudden Stupid Syndrome) as we call it here at the ‘Grok. While I try to save, save, save things, after writing a long post electing Roy Buckley, State Democratic Party Chair for the Dope, I somehow got rushed…maybe because I’m one of those quintessential multi-tasker people?…previewed my … Read more

GraniteGrok “Dope of the Week” Award: Sheryl Crow

Sheryl Crow after exercising the "one square" rule, sitting in obvious discomfort… . After stating that she has spent much time on her recent concert tour trying to come up with ways to slow global warming, singer Sheryl Crow believes she has found the answer: "Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, … Read more

Easter Bunnies need not apply…

Every so often, a story comes along that really makes you wonder if it can possibly be true at all. You know, a tidbit so deliciously obvious in proving some point that it must be made up. Most of these stories tend to be related to either political correctness or culture. So it is with … Read more

Ann Coulter’s Britney Spears moment?

Sometimes a person can be too smart for their own good. There are times when, for some inexplicable reason, certain otherwise very intelligent individuals can say the stupidest things imaginable in some lame attempt at humor that in the end makes no sense to anyone else but them. Think John Kerry or George Allen for some recent examples you might recall making headlines. The medical term, I think is "SSS" ("Sudden Stupidity Syndrome"), or "triple-S".
.
The latest public figure to become afflicted (some might say as a "relapse") with the scourge of "Triple-S" is, it pains me to say, Ann Coulter, who, giving a speech to CPAC, used the word "faggot" in reference to Democratic presidential wannabee John Edwards. (Click here to watch the video clip). I agree with RWN’s John Hawkins on this one:
the flip side of Ann grabbing headlines for herself is that she deliberately put the presidential contenders and the other people attending CPAC in a bad light (Left wing talking point: "See, that’s what Republicans really say when they’re together!") in order to draw attention to herself.

That makes her extremely selfish, especially since this is the second year in a row that she has said something particularly obnoxious and controversial at CPAC. What’s on tap for next year? Will she drop the N-bomb? Will she use the C-word to describe Hillary Clinton? Whatever her plans are, after being burned twice in a row, CPAC shouldn’t invite her back next year.

I really hate to do this, but for her stupid remark, there is no choice but to give Ann Coulter the GraniteGrok "Dope of the Week" award…

Even if she claims we’re all using the wrong definition of the word, she still shouldn’t have done it. Huh?

It’s been a while…

It has been quite some time since the prestigious GraniteGrok "Dope of the Week" award was last bestowed. Not that there haven’t been any deserving candidates, mind you. We just, you know… forgot. . The wait is over! Let the white smoke puffs billow from the chimney! Sound the klaxon! Ring all the bells! Hooray! (well, not … Read more

Documents? Oh, THOSE documents. Never saw ’em…

If ever the actions by a high-ranking government official begged for a skit on Saturday Night Live (the old-school version, oh do we miss it so!), the most recent revelations in the former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger saga are it. Better yet, maybe a plotline for a new Seinfeld episode…
.
What a story– Former government hack, involved in an investigation that might make him, or worse yet, his boss and chief benefactor, look bad, accepts a mission to get back on the "inside" and dispose of key evidence. Sounds almost the stuff of some action-adventure novel. Except, in this case, we’re talking about a rumpled, bumbling slob of a man, who breaks into a sweat when asked difficult questions like, "What is your name," and, "Is that a rolled-up document in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?"
.
Yes indeed, Sandy "Samuel" Burger, or, as he is now affectionately called, Sandy "Burglar" has provided no small amount of laughter (we probably ought to, in fact, be crying) as the story of his theft of national security documents unfolds.
.
You remember the tale: Sandy Berger, while preparing for testimony before the 9-11 Commission, got caught removing key documents by stuffing them in his shorts and socks. As new evidence comes forth, the comedic value just gets even better. Consider this AP report on the matter and tell me you can’t picture some George Costanza- type actor in the role of Sandy Berger:

Dope of the Week (Month? Year?): John “Loathesome” Kerry

Via Matt Drudge ======== . John Kerry addressing some college students, on education: if you make the most of it… You study hard. You do your homework and you make an effort to be smart… ah… you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq. This really needs no comment, as … Read more

GraniteGrok presents the Dope of the Week Award

Thanks to a September 19th  press release, The Neturei Karta International, "a worldwide organization of Orthodox Jews opposed to Zionism," earns GraniteGrok’s prestigious "Dope of the Week Award" (DOTW) with their announcement that the group
has officially extended her hand, together with many believing Jews, to the Iranian President Ahmadinejad, upon his historic viisit to the United States. The respectful display of friendship brings peace, harmony, respect and trust.
OK- while this is certainly a nutty idea- it’s an idea espoused by a great number of emotionally guided liberals and their Democratic comrades in government, this alone does not earn this obscure group the DOTW award- otherwise we would run out of space and time handing out awards.
.
This statement (while certainly deserving) from their press release doesn’t earn it for them either:
It is the sincere hope of Torah true Jews, with the help of the Almighty, that this expression of peace will counter the provocations of the Zionist organizations. The motes operandi of Zionism and its organizations, is the cause of animosity and mistrust, which can only bring catastrophic results, endangering Jews and non-Jews alike, in Palestine, the U.S.A. and around the world.
This is the belief of moonbats of all stripes. No what earns them the GraniteGrok DOTW award is when Neturei Karta International says this:

Dope of the Week: Jimmah Cahtah

Dope of the Week Honorable Mention

In this previous posting, Skip discussed the meltdown of the mainline Protestant churches: Much has been written here in NH, due to the ascendancy of Gene Robinson to bishop of the NH Episcopalian church (openly gay, recently admitted to a rehap facility for alcohol abuse).

Because Inquiring Minds Want to Know…

"How do you do it?" goes the question. "What’s the secret formula?" Some have speculated the black arts might be involved. Perhaps we analyze the entrails of a freshly slaughtered donkey? (What, you were thinkin’ a goat, right?) How many years of scientific analysis went into the method of selection? Many have sought the answer. Few have lived to know… Since the dawning of this blog, countless people (really, because we have no way of knowing) have asked, "How does Granitegrok.com select the prestigious Dope of the Week award?

“Dope of the Week” Nominee: John Kerry

The July 23rd Detroit News is reporting via its online Detnews.com website on a recent utterance of Sen. John "Loathesome" Kerry. This time, he’s pontificating on the recent events of the Middle East.:
"If I was president, this wouldn’t have happened."
.
"The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East…We’re going to have a lot of ground to make up (in 2008) because of it."
The story further tells us that Loathesome John’s statements were made during a stop at a Detroit bar ironically named Honest John’s bar & grill. He also remarked that
This is about American security and Bush has failed. He has made it so much worse because of his lack of reality in going into Iraq.…We have to destroy Hezbollah,"
Now how does Sen. Kerry propose to "destroy Hezbollah?" Being the consummate liberal, he despises the military. How would a Kerry administration have dealt with these terrorists? Bore them to death with his snotty "Boston brahmin" pseudo- intellectual dialect?

Dope of the week: NYC Mayor Bloomberg

The list of so-called "Republicans" from New York who hack me off has long included NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg. In a contest for the worst between him and Gov. Pataki, I’m not sure who I would pick. This week, it’s the mayor. The AP reports on July 5th that Bloomberg, testifying before a Senate committee, said … Read more
