The Trouble with Speed Cameras

Filed in National by on January 4, 2009 17 Comments

Kids in Montgomery County, MD have apparently discovered how to fool the speed camera in front of their school. The kids print out the targeted license plates on glossy paper, using fonts that are close to the ones the State of Maryland uses, paste the paper over the real plate and zoom through the camera’s […]

Obama’s Not The President

Filed in National by on January 4, 2009 60 Comments

It’s apparent to me that when Obama becomes President (he’s not the yet, ya know!), he will not be able to move fast enough for many of the Radical Right, Libertarian or Fence-Sitting bloggers and commentors around here. Their blog posts and comments here are filled with, “We know what Obama will do . . […]

Breaking: Mike Protack To Run for Something – Probably Governor

The DE GOP’s totally unkillable Rasputin gets his hat in early: Jason, Happy New Year. After a disastrous 2006 (Ting) and even worse 2008 (Lee and others) I have no concerns about where I stand. I am sitting real good right now. I have a statewide recognition over 75% and the issues I care about […]

Top 10 Rightblogger Stories of 2008

Filed in National by on January 3, 2009 11 Comments

The Village Voice’s Roy Edroso routinely forays out into the wingnut blogosphere (calling them Rightbloggers in Voice-speak) to document the atrocities. Roy’s blog isn’t quite as much fun as Sadly, No! in the wingnut blogger critique, but he is reading these people so we don’t have to. And as befits the end of a year, […]

I am watching the coverage of the ground operation that Israel has launched into the Gaza strip.  I just watched a report from CNN Interntional, where a Gazan was being interviewed by phone.  During the interview, an Israeli rocket slammed into his neighborhood.  His windows shattered and he had to get off the phone to […]

DE GOP: No Starters, No Bench & No Draft Picks

Filed in Delaware by on January 3, 2009 36 Comments

In thinking about what the next year might hold for us DE Liberals I think we have to filter our strategy through the reality that the DEGOP is flat on its back.  Being such a pathetic rag-tag enterprise, might make 2009 a year of revolutionary change for Delaware’s Republicans, but I doubt it.  That would […]

Twits on Twitter

Filed in National by on January 3, 2009 9 Comments

I wondered to myself why Davie Burris shut down another blog, daveburris.com, and went to a whole new direction. Hey there! daveburris is using Twitter. And then, over at Ars Techinca (a total geek site), I read Reinventing conservatism, one tweet at a time and I understand why. Much of this effort, in light of […]

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Topless!

Well I’m back from what has come to be known as “The Super Secret Hefty Lefty” Conference in the Azores and I have to say that this year Soros outdid himself. Getting marching orders from George at this annual pep rally had become a somewhat dreary experience over the years but this year everybody was […]

Clean Coal?

We’ve been criminally negligent around at Delaware Liberal about the Kingston Fossil Plant disaster which has been called “the largest environmental disaster of its kind in the United States” by experts in the New York Times. Luckily some of our blogger sisters and brothers in Tennessee have been mired in the muck.. Cup of Joe […]

It Had To Be Fox News

Check out the scroll at the bottom during this clip on the Faux News NYE coverage.  Viewers were allowed to text in messages that would scroll by on the little bar at the bottom.  Sigh. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=710_ItlHUXI[/youtube] The only good news is that it is good that the Obama Presidency will annoy Jen and John C.
