Harris McDowell is using public office for personal gain – The Smoking Gun

Filed in National by on April 21, 2008 50 Comments

I wish that the statement above had the ability to shock, but for people who have been watching McDowell for a while it is not shocking. McDowell works for Delmarva Power. Ho hum. McDowell is working to establish a six-figure job for himself in the manner of Roger Roy. No duh. These are simple facts […]

Book Review — Where Does The Money Go?

Some weeks back, I heard the authors of Where Does the Money Go? — Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson — give an interview on Fresh Air that I really wish I could have finished listening to (work gets in the way sometimes). They were riveting, engaging and remarkably clear in discussing and answering questions re: […]

Proof the Saudi citizens are smarter than US citizens did you know that…. 15 of their countrymen flew airplanes into the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. It was a wildly successfull mission too man.  Let alone the five or six people they killed that day.   I mean we get spied on […]

Stand by your man… 2008 style

After the ABC “debate” and the outcry that ensued something dawned on me. We didn’t focus on bitter-gate. We didn’t argue the “merits” of flag pins. We didn’t try and educate the population on the history of the black church. Frankly, we didn’t behave in typical Dem fashion. We stood by our candidate and made […]

Just watch this video from Brave New Films jumping the gun on Sunday’s McCain interview on the ABC yack show. Hysterical.

Suicide The large number of attacks — more than double the number in any of the past 25 years — reflects a trend that has surprised and worried U.S. intelligence and military analysts. More than four-fifths of the suicide bombings over that period have occurred in the past seven years, the data show. The bombings […]

OMFG!  Obama in Philly

Wow. Now I wish I had blown off my book club to see Obama. He drew 30,000 people to see him deliver a speech at Independence Hall. It was the largest crowd that he has drawn in the campaign (and that is saying something). Let’s put this in context. Tonight in Philly there was a […]

Around the Horn Friday — DE Libertarian Style

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 18, 2008 2 Comments

Steve Newton has ably surveyed the DE Blogosphere this week to show that at least we’ve been darned busy. I especially like his continuation of Brian’s feature of adding a couple of blogs outside of this circle that we might have never seen. Very nice job, indeed, Steve.   All the rest of you head over […]

Dan Barnett, commander of the First Squadron, Second Stryker Cavalry Regiment. “A wall that isolates those who would continue to attack the Iraqi Army and coalition forces can create security conditions that they can go in and rebuild.” I guess […]
