More Free Market bullshit. Protecting the Banks from thier own stupidity
$1 million sought for mortgage crisis Minner’s task force: Funds needed to slow the rate of foreclosures less foreclosures = less losses plain and simple, they could care less about the people in the homes. Having a built up inventory of property that was overvalued and have mortgages 30% higher than what they will sell […]
Around the Horn Friday: Fat Man With Presents Edition
No, I’m not talking about Santa, Dave Burris and his little elves had a big day this week bringing 5 bills to the Senate to provide a significant amount of transparency to Delaware’s government. Dana reprinted the press release with commentary. And Nancy gave it some good press. While I’m talking about Nancy, she celebrated […]
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 […]
…and Hube continues to wonder why we think fox news is biased

Ouch! Delaware State (the University and the Rest of Us) Called Out by Cal Blogger
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)?
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
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.
ha ha funny
Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along a southern country road one evening when an old cow loomed in front of the car. The driver tried to avoid it, but could not. 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”
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 […]
