Welcome to The Iron Mouth. The Iron Mouth will be speaking daily. Topics you will hear the Mouth speak of may include politics, culture, religion, outsourcing, bail bondsmen, turncoats, anti-antidisestablishmentarianism, under use of punctuation, and others.

The Mouth starts as five friends, but the door is kept slightly ajar: three within the deep savage heart of the D.C Beltway, one perched aloft the glassy, reflective towers of nearby Baltimore, the last in Middle America. Of course, these friends don't always share the same point of view, though as friends they certainly try to get along.

The Iron Mouth is named after La Bouche de Fer, a journal published by the Cercle Social, a club founded by Abbe Claude Fauchet (1744-1793). Fauchet, a revolutionary priest, was a leader of the attack on the Bastille and styled himself the "Attorney General of the Truth" in the French Revolution. Viva.
