Making Smart People Laugh Since 2006
Who "We" Are
- Monday Morning Clacker
- is a citizen pundit covering the 2008 Presidential election (among other things). Monday Morning Clacker plays favorites - BIG TIME. Most of what you read on this blog is true. It is certainly only one man’s opinion. Clacker’s parents/friends only hope that he makes it out of ’08 without being sued for slander.
What Is A "Monday Morning Clacker"?
Monday Morning is taken from the expression "Monday Morning Quarterback" - we try to remind ourselves not to take ourselves too seriously around here.
Clacker is taken from the Cowboy Governor, who has declared his disgust with Washington DC "Clackers" (read: Press).
