I must start this “Around the Horn” with the last time that I will rave about the bravery of Dave Burris over at First State Politics. I don’t care what anyone says, I credit Dave with talking John Adkins into resigning. He has my eternal respect. Now where have you been Brutha? Dave promises to return to blogging on Monday.
Tommywonk has the scoop on how the Republicans have already given up on the Delaware Governor’s office. Looks like Carney or that other guy… 🙂 Rove to Copeland: Drop Dead!
Dana Garrett over at Delaware Watch is talking about safe harbor provisions for State employees. Dana brings the drama. Plus he is keeping his foot on the throat of Thurman Adams.
Donviti has a story about the new links between the White House and MZM, the company that got Duke Cunningham in trouble. He also has some breaking news coming, so we are standing by…
Down with Absolutes has a great write up on the 41st RD in the spirit of Stephen Colbert. Wonderful.
Jesus’ General has a story that shows how to google your way to better relations with our friends to the South.
Over at Karmic Musings, Jay has a reprint of one of my favorite joke emails. My fave is “Ask People What Sex They Are. Laugh Hysterically After They Answer.”
Kavips has a post telling Dave Burris that he may have one victory here, but getting his boy Mitt elected is an uphill battle.
Ryan at Liberal Delight gives kudos to the Senate for the war smackdown on troop-hating President.
Merit Bound Alley has a great quote from an uber-geek conversation. Choose Perversion.
Nancy Willing covers uber-blogger Celia Cohen about the Adkins babysitter and the hush money she was offered (OK, it was a promise of Cool Ranch Doritos in the house every time she babysat).
Meanwhile, Celia is reporting that Atkins is trying to get his name on the ballot for the special election that will be held to replace him. If the Republicans won’t have him, he may go independent. Scum.
Mike Matthews Mahaffie is schooling MOT Newbie on Yiddish terms. Can I hear it in a sentence? Yes, “Dave Burris is a Mensch.”
Speaking of MOT Newbie, please check out his call for help with a little girl with a rare disease. Or his last minute entries about County council starving to death or programming tips for WDEL.
Pencader Days has a link to a YouTube clip showing Rove…I guess you could call it dancing…
Mike Protack is on an education jag. He is up to #4 of 50. This could take a while…
Hube Felix at Colossus of Rhodey is bitching about the failure of the Sam Fox ambassadorship. There is some Kerry bitterness in Hube.
Paul Smith has a post about how Maryland is taking a gamble in trying to bypass the electoral college.
Ryan at JttR is trying to pin the Military Hospital problems on Diane Feinstein. Yes, in January she started installing rats nests and leaky plumbing. Good analysis, Ryan.
Finally, Kilroy is annoyed at DelTech and the people that get scholarships to it.
