An Interview with Jerry Northington
Not done by me, but by fellow Kossack Avila. Check it out. Here is an excerpt: Q: You have written extensively about poverty as a human rights issue. How would you fight poverty at the grassroots level? What’s the best way to get local citizens engaged in caring for their neighbors? A: Poverty is a […]
Primary Wounds and Unity.
For all the insults traded between myself and Bitterique, and for all the glee Mike W and his fellow right wingers take in such exchanges, the facts are the party is unified. In the latest Research 2000 national poll shows that Obama wins Democrats 82-9 percent, which is little different than McCain’s 83-10 [among Republicans]. […]
A New Glass Ceiling.
Last night I said to Bitterique that I hoped we have heard the last from that evil, racist, wretched disgusting female dog named Geraldine Ferraro. I. WAS. WRONG. “If he picked Claire McCaskill or [Janet] Napolitano [or Kathleen] Sebelius, I think it would annoy women,” [Geraldine] Ferraro said. Ferraro added that “those are women who […]
Obama hits back with substance
Obama is heading where McCain fears to tread. “What Senator McCain neglected to mention was that during those thirty years, he was in Washington for twenty-six of them,” said the Senator. “And in all that time, he did little to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. He voted against increased fuel efficiency standards and opposed […]
Damn and Dire.
Some recent news on two political stalwarts, on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum, and their struggles with brain cancer. First, the honorable Senator Ted Kennedy: A Kennedy spokeswoman said Monday that the Massachusetts senator taped a five-minute video over the weekend to air during the [national convention] at the end of the month. Crews […]
I’m going to get a lot of grief on this
But I’m starting to like the idea of Hillary as Obama’s VP pick. Let’s face it the lady can fight, and Obama – who must stay above the fray – needs a fighter. It’s why I wasn’t thrilled when John Edwards was being considered, and why I like Biden. Picking Hillary also brings us back […]
“It Has Always Been This Way” is Not an Excuse.
Note: This is the 4,000th story on Delaware Liberal, at least according to WordPress. Congrats all! This morning’s NJ article has a lot of choice quotes from current and retired lawmakers concerning the power of the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, Thurman Adams. The article essentialy describes Thurman Adams as a mad dictator, with enough power […]
Judgement, experience, fear of being handed salt…leadership
Mr. President, what do you think we should do about Iran? No thinking or acting with out my lucky feather! Given to me by a tribal leader Oh, but Obama is a celebrity and is uppity. I really do laugh out loud when I think about the category 5 hurricane shi#storm we would see on […]
How many times have you stubbed your toe?
I remember as a kid stubbing my toe at least once a vacation on the Boards of Rehoboth. OH MAN that was smarts….
More Renewable Energy
Delaware is just in love with it now. From the News Journal: A Frankford company that is promoting turbines as a way to use fast-moving water to generate electricity has received preliminary approval for a $52,400 grant from the Delaware Green Energy Fund. The grant money will be used to test one of the turbines […]
Adams and Carney
I will have more to write about the News Journal’s article on Senate Pro Tem Thurman Adams later this morning, but I had to just post about this picture. I think it is devastating for the Carney campaign. In this caption, the News Journal lauds Adams as basically an old legislative dictator, with Carney sitting next […]
