I’m ashamed
Before I begin, I still do believe without a doubt that Obama will be wayyyyy better than what we have now and his opponent. BUT, I will say I’m greatly disappointed.

News Journal Makes Eminent Domain an Issue
In the last three weeks, we have had two major political events. The first was the Bluewater Wind deal. Politically, since Lt. Governor Carney was involved in the final negotiations, and since he was given partial credit at the news conference by Delmarva and BWW officials, it was a win for him. A win that […]
Look, France has Nuclear Power and it’s safe!
I guess your version of safe depends on how much Uranium you allow to leak from your power plant though. PARIS (AP) — Liquid containing traces of unenriched uranium leaked Tuesday at a nuclear site in southern France, and some of the solution ran into two rivers, France’s nuclear safety agency said. Authorities banned the […]
Iran has missles, let’s build better ones!
(pandora stole my thunder but who cares) OH MY GOD, IRAN HAS MISSLES! Call me crazy but when we move ships into the region, run sqaudron after squadron of our F-18’s off the Kennedy, circle submarines in the area, play war games off the coast of Iran, isn’t that a teensy, weensy bit agressive and […]

Gen. Hossein […]

Even if Iraq wants us out… Iraq Wants Withdrawal Timetable In U.S. Pact “There should not be any permanent bases in Iraq unless these bases are under Iraqi control,” Rubaie said, referring to negotiations over a bilateral agreement governing […]
When’s the next time you will eat at McDonald’s?
McDonald’s Ad: “I’m Lovin’ It When China Wins” Ronald, Grimace, the Hamburglar, and the other characters at McDonald’s have chosen the slogan “Wo jiu xihuan Zhongguo ying,” for their Chinese marketing campaign. When translated the phrase means “I love it when China wins.” Think “I’m Lovin’ It” with a sino addendum.
The DHS Starts Ripping Off Really Bad Star Trek
And this is how you know that your government exists only to transfer taxpayer funds to their pals — witness: an Electronic ID bracelet that also stuns misbehaving passengers. Someone at Homeland Security is actually thinking about this device that you’d be fitted with when you check in; that will somehow also be coded to […]
Postponed: Book Club Pushed Back a Week
I have not gotten a firm committment from anyone reagrding the book club meeting on Thursday so I’m going to push it off a week, hoping that the week after the holiday was the cause for low response. So the new date is going to be 6:30, July 17th at The Lobby House in Dover. […]
Obama v. Clinton: The First State Version.
Before I left on my mini-Fourth of July vacation down the shore, wherein I got sunburnt but thankfully missed the CC/PDD dust-up of which I know little and care about even less; I posted a story about Carney’s first TV ad buy the Salisbury media market, touting his leadership in the Bluewater Wind deal. Markell is […]
