The Congressional Democrats Screwed Up
It is that simple. No need to white wash it or enter into some fantasy world rationalizations (as our GOP readers are so fond of doing when it comes to Bush’s daily hourly screw ups). Keith Olbermann’s “Special Comment” : You, the men and women elected with the simplest of directions—Stop The War—have traded your […]
Mike Castle Closes Barn Door Five Years After the Horse Took Off
Congressman Mike Castle (who continues to support George Bush and his open ended war in Iraq) got all full of himself in this press. “Although this is a complicated issue, I firmly believe that it is Congress’ responsibility to make certain that ethical people are providing sound advice when it comes to crucial government decisions […]
Wonky Wednesday: Delaware Chooses Wind
It’s doubtful that the Public Service Commission has ever generated more interest and excitement than it has with yesterday’s decision to order Delmarva Power to begin negotiating with Bluewater Wind. The PSC’s order, which should be available online tomorrow, also directs DPL to negotiate with Conectiv and NRG for a natural gas backup facility. A […]
The grossly distorting, idiotic myths the media allows to become immovably lodged in our political discourse
What does seem clear is that one of the principal factors accounting for the reluctance of Democrats to advocate de-funding is that the standard corruption that infects our political discourse has rendered the de-funding option truly radioactive. Republicans and the media have propagated — and Democrats have frequently affirmed — the proposition that to […]
Wolfowitz loses his job…and his girlfriend
Outgoing World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz and his love interest, Shaha Riza, have split up. Riza was reportedly “upset by all the publicity” and the implication that she was ….uhh, well….you know.
A little story
So there I was walking down the street on a beutiful spring day. I was sort of minding my own business, as much as one can when they are as stunningly attractive and adult as I am. I was walking along and whistling. I like to whistle. It relaxes me, my Pop-pop used to whistle, […]
Wind Themed Drinking Liberally Celebration
Today Blue Water Wind’s proposal for a wind farm off the coast of Delaware was approved. Delmarva Power will be required to negotiate in good faith with Blue Water for some of Delaware’s electric supply. This is great – it calls for celebration!! Invite all of your wind friends and come to Drinking Liberally next […]

Editors Note: On my current level of testyness
As a commenter has pointed out, I have lately ratcheted up my level of bitterness and bile toward the recalcitrant dumbasses, like Michael N. Castle, who refuse to acknowledge that working for the election of George W. Bush was a mistake that they should feel contrite about. As it happens a good friend of mine […]
The FIRST state !!!
I’ve never been as proud to be a Delawarean as I am today. (Wind) power to the people! [Due credit to the few sane Republicans for being on the side of the angels… BUT I just have to add that I love the fact that this is a big “ef-you!” to the moronic dumbasses on […]
Now That Falwell’s Gone, Gay Flamingos Can Adopt
I found this curious (no pun intended). There is a pair of gay flamingos in England that has been “a couple” for 6 years and they have recently adopted a chick. The hatched again flamingo movement is not happy and is crying “fowl.” Let’s not let Cheney anywhere near them with a gun.
Comment Rescue: Waiting for the News Journal and other futile endeavours
Dana has a post up about how the News Journal is not covering an proposed change to the Wilmington’s city charter (HB 161) which, as Dana puts it “ would change Wilmington’s city charter to make Wilmington residents pay for their sidewalk repair: in effect, reversing by legislative fiat a change to the city charter […]
