Best Internet Fundraising Pitch Ever

Filed in National by on July 17, 2008 9 Comments

Really, just go see. Sean Tevis is running for State Rep in Kansas where the so-called “intelligent designers” are working hard to make sure that their kids know as little as possible when they leave school. And the ask is only for 8.34. This is spirited and funny and creative as all get out — […]

Obama Art Clobbers McCain Art

In what I hope is a glimpse into the future, the Wall Street Journal has a story about how Obama campaign posters are going for as much as $700 each on ebay. Knowledgeable collectors have already turned a profit by buying multiples. Tanley Wong, a 30-year-old consultant for Fannie Mae in Washington, D.C., owns 30 […]

I just had to pass this on from earlier this morning: as I was introducing myself and Delaware Liberal at the State Blogger’s Caucus, I mentioned our recent victory in securing offshore wind energy for Delaware, and for the possibility of success for OOGA in the coming year.    This was met with a round of […]

Ruth Ann’s Legacy

When the history of RAM’s admistration is written I think two things will standout as net positives for the state. One of them is the indoor smoking ban.  I’m sure we all agree (with the exception of Dana) that the smoking ban is great. The other might be controversial, so don’t click through unless you […]

Typical White House Strategy

Awesome strategy being invoked by the whitehouse.  If you haven’t been following, essentially every President gets a library, how that cash is raised is HIGHLY secret.  Well someone videotaped a bush guy saying that they could see the VP, Sec of State of for a few million.  …trhe scandal that erupted this week with the […]

SEU RFP To Be Released Before New Oversight Board is Seated

Filed in National by on July 17, 2008 13 Comments

I spoke to the Energy Office this morning. The word is that the new board will not be seated before the RFP goes out. This is sad. Apparently, Gov. Minner has signed the bill into law, but she has not yet appointed the new board. Whether or not the SEU Task Force is legal and […]

Netroots Nation – Day One

Filed in National by on July 17, 2008 20 Comments

I arrived last evening, and did some hobnobbing (i.e. drinking) with some of the Blogosphere’s illuminati.   The feel at these events is that of a reunion, as over the last five years over the history of the blogosphere, many of us are indeed close friends, even if we only get to see each other sparingly. […]

As much as I hate to do it, I’m going to but the book club on hold. I have gotten no firm commitments on attendees. Perhaps we can pick it up later, but it seems like we just can’t squeeze it into schedules this month.

On my way to work today I saved a puppies life and seconds later rescued a baby bird by giving it mouth to mouth. I also, saved a baby seal from being clubbed to death by liberalgeek. It was awful, but I did what I had to do to protect the Spaghetti Monsters creatures. My […]

A 22 million dollar error?

Filed in National by on July 17, 2008 6 Comments

Obama raised 52 million in the month of June. The numbers are in for June, and they put to rest some of the fretting over whether his money machine was slowing. Tough to be the Wall Street Journal, which last week reported that Obama would bring in just a little over $30 million. From an […]

Castle flip/flops on Impeachment Hearings: Now Opposed

Filed in National by on July 17, 2008 31 Comments

No matter what party you belong to, I think we can all agree that George Bush has committed “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” while in office that make lying about a blow job look like…well lying about a blow job. Heck, even Bush die hard, Mike Castle thought that prospect of the President’s criminality was worth […]

Nobody could have predicted this… Maryland has opened energy supply talks with a Delaware offshore wind developer, hoping to tap into green energy from an expanded wind farm off Rehoboth Beach.
