BIDEN DAY
Despite Donviti’s drunken objections last night, the word is starting to filter into the traditional media. Look at this tease from Mark Halperin of Time Magazine’s “The Page” this morning. Say It Is So, Joe Foreign Relations, Judiciary, debater, speechifier. Bo knows….the pick. Another tease: The News Journal now has redone its special online section on […]
Any High School Basketball Fans Here?
I’ll admit that I am not much of a basketball fan, but I have been fascinated by Elena Delledon for years. The rivalry that she developed with another player at St. E’s was really a boon for womens basketball in Delaware. When her rival, Khadijah Rushdan went to Rutgers, Elena stood alone in the state […]
Thomas Frank on Colbert
Frank has a new book The Wrecking Crew, How Conservatives Rule, that he was on Colbert promoting. Colbert’s very funny observation that government is welfare for people who can’t put out their own fires seems to encapsulate the neo-conservative attitude to government quite precisely. Shoot — I lost the embed code that LG did here. […]
you know what???? Screw it….
I’m not getting behind Biden, just because he is from Delaeware and I’m from Delaware. Screw it man. you know why??? Because, because Joe Biden is everthing I Donviti, DHB have rallied against as a person that that fights the man, that “rages against the machine” as a person that considered Nader and Perot a […]
A dose of reality….
On the one hand, it’s not the most exciting choice. He doesn’t bring a state. Delaware’s going to go Democratic. And it’s barely a state at that. But Biden has a pretty deep knowledge of pretty much every big foreign policy question. And his ideas and judgment strike me as fundamentally sane. I did long […]
Lifflander v. Good Old Boy(s)
I have been hearing some stories out of Sussex County about the Atkins/Lifflander Primary. I have to admit that I have been sorely lacking in my pursuit for this race. I have heard stories of sign theft, intimidation and even that Lifflander might drop out. This made me sad, since I think that Atkins back […]
Breaking: VP to be announced tomorrow morning?
From (god!) Drudge: The NYT newsroom was buzzing late Monday afternoon after Obama-beat reporter Jeff Zeleny learned how the Dem hopeful has now finalized his choice for a running-mate. Obama has set an elaborate roll-out to announce his decision that will begin with an early morning e-mail to supporters, perhaps as early as Tuesday, Zeleny […]

Duncan Black (a.k.a Atrios) on Biden
This made me giggle. Biden I’m a lot cooler on Biden than Josh, but like Chris it wouldn’t bother me that much if he were to be chosen. Of the people I don’t really want to be Veep who keep showing up on those fake short lists people keep coming up with he bothers me […]
Ask Doctor Liberal: Party Heal Thyself
Today I got a letter from one of my most handsome, smart readers looking for the silver bullet that will fix the Delaware Democratic party. He writes… Dear Dr. Liberal, I was wondering, what you think it take to get the state Democratic Party back on track? > replacement of the state party chair > […]
Socializing Loss, Privatizing gain; Part 2,218,250
go ahead, tell me what they are doing is fine and that McCain will be any different
Coooooool
I just thought of something cool about Biden getting the nod. A bunch of frauds and losers like Katie Couric from the national media will come to Delaware and I’ll be able to yell, “Katie you suck!” from close range.
Will the NJ cover Noyes’ trip to Denver?
I could see why they would not cover it it if it was me going – but Tom Noyes is respectable. I would think that his going to the convention WITHE PRESS CREDENTIALS is a big story. When I interviewed Tom my only request of him was that we’d be able to run the interview […]
