By my calculation, the two largest U.S. banks, Citi (C) and Bank of America (C), have over the last year lost roughly as much in market capitalization as is the current value of the other six U.S. banks combined.

I think I liked the abortion trolls better than the gun nuts. At least abortion trolls had (inside their crazy heads) a sense of common decency. The gun nuts are all about murder and mayhem. The more murder and mayhem there is in society the more they feel justified in clinging to thier hackneyed talking […]

Protack is on Mascitti right now and I have to say that I like Mike’s take on the Wilmington gun violence issue. I have not looked into the technology he is talking about, but at least he is talking about gun violence. Anyway, we should all be outraged whenever ANYBODY is shot in Delaware. Not […]

Retired Judge Bill Lee held a swanky fundraiser at the “opulent Montchanin Road home” of Irenée and Barbara du Pont last evening.  According to the Lee campaign, 215 people attended at $250 a head, which according to my math, means that Lee raised $53,750.00 last night.  Lee admitted that fundraisers such as these are the […]

While it seems that the most important and all encompassing decision facing Delaware voters is who is Delaware’s Hottest Blogger, the executive board of the Delaware State Education Association was more concerned with who to endorse in September’s Democratic Party.   And they could not choose! Is that allowed?   I was not allowed to give two […]

UPDATED: Rick Jensen Getting Paid To Shill For Copeland

Filed in National by on July 14, 2008 39 Comments

That is what I’m trying to find out, because the shilling is frankly over the top. To get to the bottom of “Jensen-gate” I’ve written to a contact in the WDEL sales department.

Breaking: Paul Clark’s Bad Day

Filed in National by on July 14, 2008 17 Comments

Paul Clark has pissed off too many people and brought too much heat on the NCC by cozying up to developers in such a brazen manner. How much heat? Ciro Poppiti has been calling around to see if people would support him running against Clark. Poppiti’s wine importing business was bought out by the Delaware […]
