UPDATED: Delmarva Lobbyists

COMMENT RESCUE: Sagacious Steve says, “And if ethics in government is such a Republican clarion call, when will the legislative leaders holding up windpower reveal any involvement they might have with Delmarva?” Great point. Why don’t these Republican lobbyists for Delmarva REALLY stick it to the Democrats by fessing up? Delmarva Power sure is lucky […]

Bailout

I knew someone was going to be holding the bag and it wasn’t going to be the banks (thanks Mike Castle!). Link Anyway. I’ve got to be honest I have no sympathy for some nit wit who bought a $350,000 house for $550,000 because they thought it was going to be worth $750,000 in a […]

Some 17-Year-Olds CAN Vote in the 2008 Presidential Primaries!

From Alan Loudell’s blog: Some young people register to vote at the same time they apply for a driver’s license, yet may NOT realize they may be able to vote BEFORE they turn 18 in Delaware. Here’s the deal: If you’re registered, and you’d be 18 in time for the November general election, you have […]

Some blogger at the University of California takes a few pot-shots at us and our second best University (snark). Be sure to stop by and remind him that he has an action hero for a Governor and other weirdnesses of Cali. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgBPj7cxG3U[/youtube]

Will We See a Brokered Convention (or Two)?

Filed in Uncategorized by on December 20, 2007 7 Comments

It has never happened in my lifetime, but we have a shot at it this cycle.  It is a situation where no one candidate has enough committed delegates to win the nomination going into the convention.  This is more likely this cycle due to the compression of the schedule.  If we have an equitable distribution […]

Potentially Devastating Grapevine Column on Biden

Filed in National by on December 20, 2007 8 Comments

Celia sure picked a strange time to have some journalistic integrity. Perhaps it is because Biden ran afoul of Cohen’s sense of history. She is nothing if not nostalgic. Regardless, if this perks to the national press, it could be the end of Biden’s 2nd run for the nomination. I’m not linking to it.

This is how far we have come: Irwandi Yusuf, the governor of Indonesia’s Aceh Province, bluntly said to me: “We don’t believe the Americans in this administration.”

Self serving, pathetic and just plain disgusting examples of where our country is headed

Democrats instead closed the first session of the 110th Congress yesterday with House votes that sent Bush $70 billion in war funding, with no strings attached, and a $50 billion alternative-minimum-tax measure that shattered their pledge not to add to the federal budget deficit. One of these god damned days people are going to get […]

The aged bovine was struck and killed. Hillary told her driver to go to the farmhouse and tell the owners what happened. […]

The intersection of “Open Government Avenue” and “Wind Power Street”

Filed in National by on December 20, 2007 15 Comments

Dave Burris (for his myriad of faults and just wrong-ass shit that he believes) is a credit to his party. The open government movement has taken a huge leap forward this week and he needs, not only congratulations but support. Having said that – he is still a partisan hack when it comes to pointing […]
