Carney v. Loudell?

Filed in National by on July 1, 2008 11 Comments

A little birdie shot me a note about a post that Allan Loudell has up on his blog.  He is basically begging for an interview with Carney about the eminent domain bill.  Could it be that I can get 15 minutes with Carney about the bill during a recess on the last day of the […]

“This Isn’t Over.”

Filed in National by on July 1, 2008 15 Comments

Those are the words of Ed Osborne after the Senate failed to override Governor Minner’s veto of the Eminent Domain Bill last night. So true those words. Politics isn’t easy.  Civic participation in our government isn’t easy.   If it was, more people would do it.   And this country would either be a utopia or a […]

In all, he fought 52 bulls, three of which were killed instantly, and 49 had their horns taken off with knife hand blows.

Oh Man, That Rick Jensen is a Tool

I’m sorry.  I had to get that out. I had the misfortune to hear him for a few minutes this afternoon and I am utterly convinced that he does no preparation for his show whatsoever other than watching Bill O’Reilly the night before.

Carney on Eminent Domain

Last night I was at Legislative Hall to see the circus that is the last day of the session.  I had an issue at work, so I got down there a little late and ended up just missing the eminent domain vote in the Senate.  I got the lowdown from Sagacious Steve in the liveblogging […]

Bloggers Giving The Man a Headache

Filed in National by on July 1, 2008 2 Comments

Not to be too self-congratulatory, but that was such great blogging last night by Geek, DelawareDem, Sagacious Steve, Mike Matthews and others. If you haven’t – take look at the videos Mike posted.
