Open Government is our Next Goal.
Progressives in Delaware have had three main goals over the last couple of years. One was to get our state to pursue alternative renewable energy. Another was OOGA – or Open Our General Assembly, which would provide for more open state government by removing the exemption of the General Assembly and its deliberations from the […]
A picture’s worth a thousand words
Can a man be judged by his shoes? McCain and his 520.00 Ferragamo loafers Compared to this… (photos: narcosphere.narconews.com/thefield) So remind me again… who’s the elitist?
Castle and Celia…sitting in a tree.
God, I thought I had written my last Celia post. But then the News Journal had to go publish this: Delaware Grapevine — the first and savviest of Delaware’s political blogs — posted a goodbye message that stunned those with an interest in state politics, from elected officials to party faithful to political dabblers. Savviest? […]
Celia’s Last Post: Legislative Rankings
I am actually going to miss Celia. Hers was not an opinion I often agreed with, but she was a good barometer on the political class’ conventional wisdom. She was a proud adherent to the Delaware Way. I can’t remember how many posts Jason, I, and others have done critiquing her opinions and her reporting. […]
Markell Raises $1M in 2008.
Perhaps this is why the Delaware Democratic Party feels so compelled to help Carney out. The $1 million is in addition to the $2.5 million he had in the bank at the beginning of the year. “It takes a tremendous network of supporters to pull together this financial support, and John Carney has not been […]
Jan Ting Thrown Out of the GOP.
And yet Joe Lieberman remains in the Democratic caucus. I think this demonstrates one of the differences between the parties: The man who was the Delaware Republican Party’s standard bearer in the race for U.S. Senate in 2006 has been expelled from his position in the state Republican Party. His crime? Quietly supporting Democrat Barack […]
I am Delaware’s Hottest Blogger…?
Okay, I’m not exactly sure how this happened. I’m thrilled, of course – and hot! Thanks to everyone who voted for me by contributing to a great cause. Over $500 for Tommywonk’s trip to Denver! Hmmm… Given the great turn-out and generosity maybe Tom is DHB! So… who’s up for voting on who really is […]
Celia Cohen Quits (her blog)
Crapvine. C’est fini. Delaware Grapevine is shutting down. It has lasted six years, as long as it can under precarious financial circumstances. Even her sign off is bullshit. Is she still inflicting her unique brand of sycophancy on Dover Post readers? We don’t know. All we know is that she likes people sucking up to her […]
Ron Williams Curled Up In The Corner In a Pool of Urine Rocking Slowly Back and Forth
I guess that’s what my brilliant email must have done to him, because the silence is nigh on 24 hours. So…still no response from Ron about whether he lied willinging and said that Vince D’Anna‘s bullshit, half-assed poll for Tom Gordon was an “in-house Democratic Party Poll” or if D’Anna lied to him. No retraction […]
Mo’money, mo problems baby
but I don’t care! I’m taking my $1k and buying me my flatscreen! Obamania baby! Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Friday announced an “Emergency Economic Plan” that would give families a stimulus check of $1,000 each, funded in part by what his presidential campaign calls “windfall profits from big oil.” Details are in this six-page […]
My Concession Speech…
Update IV: I am seriously considering hiring a lawyer and investigating if in fact this election was legal. I can say I did not vote at all, because as a good American I did not want to deface/debase our Homelands currency (and I am a cheap bastard). The more I think about it, I may have […]
Dave Burris Returns From the Underworld
He reemerges into human form to give a quote to the Cape Gazette: Dave Burris, former Sussex County Republican chairman, said, “It exposes a division that’s already there between the party structure, unions and Democratic Party. Certainly, it’s advantageous to Republicans when Democrats are at each others’ throats.” Dana over at Delaware Watch explores the […]
