At least we aren’t over there for the oil this time…
“Georgia was one of the first Christian nations,” McCain said. “Georgia, back in the Third Century, the king of Georgia converted to Christianity. You see churches there that date back to the Fourth and Fifth Century.”
Liveblogging…
I’m not sure who knows how to liveblog and who doesn’t…so if you do…it’s up and hopefully some of you guys will hop on tonight and live blog while you watch the convention. If you don’t know how to log on, click the liveblogging page link here or at the top. Then enter a “handle” […]
Breaking News…
Insert heaving panting (not petting sicko’s) panting!! Holy smokes….(picture me having just run 20 feet as if I was Mike Matthews chasing down a Carney Ice Cream truck in North Wilmington to get to my laptop and report this breaking news, to you the world!) Have you guys seen what is on CNN? Hillary Clinton […]
Tommywonk From the Convention Floor
Our intrepid reporter, Tom Noyes, has filed his first report from the convention floor with a preview of what you will see tonight. Take a listen.
Thoughts On The Coons/Gordon NCCo Executive Race
(The following is my opinion on the state of play of this race.) Mike Matthews from DWA liveblogged the last debate from the Widener Law School that I also attended with one of my neighbors. I took a lot of notes from that debate, mainly to be able to recount here what happened – the […]
Speaking of Ike…
Tommywonk’s current post from Denver reminds us how far partisan zealots like Dave Burris have driven the Republican party away from it’s historic brand ID. Several Republicans will step up to the podium tonight, including former Iowa congressman Jim Leach, who recently retired as director of Harvard’s Institute for Politics. I had a chance to […]
I Read DelawarePolitics So You Don’t Have To
Today’s wingnut news: Barack Obama was born in Kenya and is therefor prohibited from being the President of the United States. No doubt Rick Jensen will be all over this “news” and will soon breathlessly report Obama’s birth… in Kenya….not in Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii…as stated on his birth certificate.
Markell Plans Common Sense, Practical Plan to Reduce Gun Violence
Today Jack Markell joined community leaders and public-safety advocates Monday to release his plan to make Delawareans safer in response to the recent escalation of gun violence. I have just skimmed it so far, but I really like these practical common sense steps which DON’T INFRINGE ON ANYONE’S 2ND AMMENDMENT RIGHTS. CLOSE THE ‘GUN SHOW […]
This is Different
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X9LypdiQFo[/youtube] An attack ad with a lighter tone! This makes good use of one of McCain’s more astute self- assessments (“The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should…”) with a song that is going to stick in your head for awhile. This is supposed to go up in battleground […]
Mike Castle Signage Violations
Another “sign” that Mike Castle is slipping and far too old to represent Delaware in Congress is that his signs are in clear violation of election law. Nancy Willing writes: I was putting up signs around Newark and came across a mess of them on DelDot Right of Ways and in town. The sign laws […]
Deep Thought For The First Day of School
There is no point in making teachers, adminstrators, and school boards more “accountable” for student success or failure if parents are not accountable for getting those students to bed befor 10:00 pm.
Your Liberal Media
This is the top item on the CNN Web Site this morning: Blitzer: Democrats begin big sell in Denver And now the selling begins. The Democrats need to do some major marketing at their party convention in Denver, Colorado
Messing With Donald E. Wildmon
This is awesome. The American Family Association is all pissy and bent out of shape because Hallmark has a new line of gay marriage greeting cards. So they put up a web form so that their members could send an email to Hallmark registering their outrage. Joe M at Merit Bound Alley, used the AFA […]
