John Carney’s stunning defense on Markell’s ideas

Filed in National by on August 9, 2008 3 Comments

Regarding Markell’s “plan for job growth-through-training Wednesday while touring a slew of small businesses in Delaware.” Carney chalked up the plan to election-year talk. Carney cited his work as lieutenant governor in bringing the Bluewater Wind project and those jobs to the state. “To grow Delaware’s economy, the state must invest in more aid for […]

Ron Suskind Releases transcripts

Filed in National by on August 9, 2008 9 Comments

You saw it coming a mile away.  Typical White House defense is to discredit the messenger and make narrow (ala Dave Burris) defenses that don’t directly deny something, just deny one teensy-weensy portion that isn’t exactly true.  They call Suskind’s new book, “gutter journalism”  Yep, that’s what Pulitzer Prize Winning authors usually give you.  Pathetic.  […]

Comment Rescue: John Kowalko on Charlie Copeland’s false memory

Filed in National by on August 8, 2008 18 Comments

John Kowalko: As one who personally attended scores of meetings, hearings and political posturing exercises on the matter, I have said before and I reiterate this point. Charlie Copeland did not support the Off-Shore wind project and in fact, aggressively worked behind the scenes as well as out in the open (occasionally), against it. This […]

Wow. As I wrote to her in the comments,I am in awe at her perrsonal inner courage.  To have gone through all she has gone through in life, from the death of a child to cancer to this and God knows what other personal obstacles, Elizabeth Edwards is truly a role model to us all. […]

Charles Lammot du Pont Copeland is a liar.

Filed in National by on August 8, 2008 5 Comments

I trust Tom Noyes.   For he has forgotten more about the history of the off shore wind negiotiations than Mr. Copeland ever pretended to know. Copeland complains that Denn is “fabricating” information on this subject, but the record clearly shows he was against wind power before he was for it. Sorry Charlie, but we’re talking […]

Taxes and the truth…

Filed in National by on August 8, 2008 25 Comments

=looky, looky, loo McCain claims in an ad released today that “Obama voted to raise taxes on people making just $42,000. He promises more taxes on small business, seniors, your life savings, your family.” But when it comes to promises, it’s worth pointing out that, according to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center’s analysis of both […]

My Thoughts on John F-ing Edwards

Filed in National by on August 8, 2008 32 Comments

I spent the day riding a bike around Martha’s Vineyard, I am burnt to a crisp (why do I think when riding a bike I will not get sunburnt?), and I come back to our Bed & Breakfast across the sound in Falmouth to find out this has finally broke. So Edwards admits to the […]
