Clear Off Your Desks, Boys and Girls
As Obama is leading the US government back to science, it is time for a pop quiz courtesy of NewScientist. For full disclosure, I didn’t do half bad. 😉
How Pitiful Is This
Open Left reports that John Boehner is advertising for “credentialed” economists who oppose the upcoming stimulus package. Evidently the “credentialed” economist community sees the economic problems we face sufficiently serious enough that they aren’t available to the wingnut echo chamber to try to advance their ill-informed opinions on how the government should deal with the […]
Biden Defends the Warren Choice
Joe Biden will evidently be in Larry King Live tonite and has said this about what the Warren selection means: …Barack Obama said you’ve got to reach out. You’ve got to reach a hand of friendship across the aisle and across philosophies in this country. We can’t continue to be a red and blue country. […]
Nominations Being Accepted: Rookie of the Year
It takes a lot of committment to run a blog, and while some of them have gone by the wayside this year, several others have popped up. I’ll start off the nominations with The Mourning Constitution, which Brian admits was named on the toilet. Who else do we have that has joined the ranks and […]
Tom Carper On Being Made a Fool of By Joe Lieberman

Oh my gosh…
it wasn’t Clinton’s fault… As for Mr. Bush’s banking regulators, they once brandished a chain saw over a 9,000-page pile of regulations as they promised to ease burdens on the industry. When states tried to use consumer protection laws to crack down on predatory lending, the comptroller of the currency blocked the effort, asserting that […]
Markell selects McGonigle to be new COS
Gov.-elect Markell has selected a new Chief of Staff: Wilmington Attorney Thomas McGonigle. McGonigle served as legal counsel to former Gov. Tom Carper and has worked as a lawyer representing the state for the past several years. Last year, he was hired to handle probes into conditions at the Delaware Psychiatric Center. “Tom combines top-flight […]
Ted Kaufman Admits He Will Not Be His Own Man.
There was really a rather remarkable article in yesterday’s News Journal, wherein our next Senator essentially admits that he will be nothing but a puppet. Many lawmakers have grappled with how to balance their constituents’ needs with their own principles. As Ted Kaufman sees it, he’ll have a third consideration when he becomes Delaware’s new […]
