First Degree Murder?
A story that was lost, at least by me, in the ether of the holidays was the tragic death of Delaware City firefighter Michelle Smith on December 22, 2008 as a result of a car hitting her while she tended to another man who was injured in another accident. The details are more sinister than […]
Print Journalism is Dead (Psst…Ron Williams Killed it)
Yes The News Journal is edited by blithering idiots, but I think that even they would blanch at printing this banner headline: “Bush departs with legacy in question” …and they might feel funny printing this lead sentence to a story about Bush’s legecy… “Some will remember him as Bush the protector, the president who prevented […]
Delaware Talk Radio In The Black
I missed Tommywonk on DTR yesterday, but in plugging his guest spot, Tom noted: Delaware Talk Radio, which features a number of well-known bloggers like Mike Matthews, Dave Burris and Maria Evans, is broadcast over the internet. With low overhead, the venture is running in the black after just a few months of operations. (emphasis […]
Hugo Chavez Has Been Oiling Up Sarah Palin
Our friend Elwood Foreclift over at I Eat Gravel (Alaska) asks a serious question, “Without Hugo Chavez, how will rural Alaskans survive?”
It’s on again people….
You got it. I will be on Delaware Talk Internet Radio Thursday with Maria. I will be drinking beer and taking calls and hanging up on you. I will have another list of Topics to discuss and you the readers can choose which you are most interested in. I nearly blew the show off the […]
Hello??? Did you forget about the party on 1/24
The Delaware Liberal Ball We still have a lot of room. Yes, the volunteer portion of the days events have filled but the more funner part is still wide open. If some of you are worried about paying through the website let me know. I can meet you in a dark alley behind the 7/11 […]
Castle Not Enjoying His Job.
From the News Journal: “Governor, I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride,” said Republican Rep. Mike Castle, who served as governor from 1985 to 1993. “I can say that being chief executive of Delaware was the best job I ever had, most days.” Governor…er ah…I mean Congressman, it sounds to me like you are not enjoying […]
Afternoon Quick Hits
Jeb Bush will not be continuing the horror that is his family legacy: he will not run for the Senate seat being vacated by Mel Martinez in 2010. Washington Governor Chris Gregoire and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius will not be the next Secretary of Commerce. Former Trade Representative appointee Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA) was considered […]
Sanjay Gupta to be Surgeon General.
Now this is an interesting appointment. In the Bush Administration, this post was nearly invisible. Probably because Republicans do not care about your health, or at the very least, they do not care to have the government care about your health. Appointing a well known and visible doctor to this post indicates that Obama will […]
Strike on Gaza School Kills 30
The BBC reports: At least 30 people were killed and 55 injured when Israeli artillery shells landed outside a United Nations-run school in Gaza, UN officials have said. A number of children were among those who died when the al-Fakhura school in the Jabaliya refugee camp was hit, doctors at nearby hospitals said. Israel said […]
Breaking News: Reid Denies Burris Seat in Senate
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said, “Mr. Burris is not in possession of the necessary credentials from the state of Illinois.” Harry Reid lacks the credentials to take out my trash. Harry Reid is an ass.
It Wasn’t That Good of a Movie, Joe.
I am sure this is true, since I saw Joe and Jill Biden at the same theater a couple of years ago. Employees at the Regal Brandywine Cinemas say the vice president-elect and his wife, Jill, tried to attend the [Saturday night] 7:45 showing of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” at the theater on […]
