Is Romney’s Run bad for Mormonism?
Flipp is bringing a lot of attention to the LDS faith and I’m wondering is the mormons are very happy about that? Were they content pretty much owning all of Utah and flying somewhat under the national radar? It seems like a learn some wacky new fact about mormonism everyday. For example, did you know […]
“The Next Reagan” Fails to Make the Ballot in Delaware
Fred Thompson didn’t get the requisite 500 signatures to make it onto the ballot in Delaware for our Primary. Good Grief, he’s the national version of Protack.
Mike Castle Wants to Reward Banks for F*cking Up
Mike Castle wants to shield banks from the consequences of providing crazy ass “NIJA” loans. Not all investors in mortgage-backed securities are thrilled with the idea of freezing interest rates on hundreds of thousands of adjustable-rate mortgages, and some have threatened to sue if the deal goes through. They won’t be able to, though, if […]
The problem with vaccines
Merck recalls childhood vaccine to prevent meningitis I have a problem with vaccines. I don’t know how safe they are anymore. Do you? We all know how greedy these companies can be. Especially under this administration that has bent over backwards for Drug Companies. So when you see all these drugs rushed through the FDA […]
The Bush Recession is Here in Time For Christmas
Well it looks like bogus Federal Reserve scams intended to prop up the DJIA don’t have the magic power that they used to. (As if proping up the DJIA was a valid goal inthe first place.) So…. It’s official. Morgan Stanley has issued a “full US recession” alert. Morgan Stanley has issued a full recession […]

Mike Castle Running as a Faux Democrat

Castle, Pelosi, Lewis, Snyder Commemorate 50th Anniversary of Little Rock Nine — December 7, 2007 Washington, D.C. — Delaware Congressman Mike Castle joined Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Congressmen John Lewis and Vic Snyder to recognize the desegregation of the Little Rock Central High School.

Those DEDO Ads on WDEL are getting on my nerves
When I hear them it is like nails on a chalkboard. In my other life I had a perfectly legitimate business opportunity (to expand my robotic pigmy Alpaca farm) and DEDO could not be less interested. I would say that I was treated with whatever is one notch above disdain. The whole experience reminded me […]
Kilroy Calls It Quits
Local blogger Kilroy (aka John Allison) has decided that he can’t fight the system alone. He has decided to cease his involvement in all Red Clay affairs and resigning his post in the Republican party. I cannot figure out if that means he’s going to stop blogging. If he does, it will halve the number […]
The NJ figures out how to hammer in the last nail
Is this Beth Miller lead a nail in Protack’s coffin, or a nail in his palm? That is the question. NJ Link I’ve gotta think Coffin. It was pretty devastating. Al is talking about it now and I’m trying to get through but the phone lines seem jammed.

UPDATED: Economic Dissonance
I find it funny that when you listen to WDEL the economic news is always good. Today for example, the markets are going to be going like gangbusters since the interest rate was cut. Whoopie!! But when you read actual economists, the bubbly optimism is had to find. http://rs.rgemonitor.com/blog/roubini/231693 “And even the soft-landing optimists […]
