Adam Smith on Government
I think it is amusing (and not at the same time) that the previous administration and conservatives in general HAD latched on to Adam Smith’s Free Market views as the model for our country to thrive upon. Much like anything else, they were clueless as to what Adam Smith meant and only used small bits […]
Citigroup Gets a Well Deserved Spanking
After taking 45 billion in tax payer money Citigroup unveiled their plans to purchase a 50 million dollar luxury jet that seats twelve. Fortunately the Obama Administration stepped in – and what do you know? – bye, bye jet. ABC News has learned that on Monday officials of the Obama administration called Citigroupabout the company’s […]
Donor List Delays in Tennessee
Last week in ¿Hablas inglés?, we wrote about a rogue Council Member in Nasville TN who started English Only Referendum which was surprisingly defeated. Eric Crafton, said rogue Council Member, did not release the donors to the English Only campaign because of fear of harassment. Crafton did promise to release the donor list late on […]
Eminent Domain: Nemski’s Letter and Denn’s Response
Dear Lt. Governor: At the Delaware Liberal Inaugural Ball, you asked bloggers to help keep you honest, to keep your feet to the fire. Well, Mr. Denn, I am happy to oblige. On Monday, you held a press conference with representatives of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce as well as the AFL-CIO and you […]
Mike Castle in the Spotlight Today
Reports of Mike Castle and the Rest of the House Republican Caucus’ meeting with President Obama to talk about the economic recovery plan will start to filter out soon. I wonder if Mike will side with the corrupt to the core Radical Republicans who call the shots in the caucus, or if his apology was […]
Comment Rescue: El Somnambulo on HB1, Cook and Larson
The following is a public service announcement from El Somnambulo: Speaking of fiscal notes and Sen. Cook, there is no doubt in the mind of the Beast Who Slumbers that it was Nancy Cook who sought a ‘killer fiscal note’ to derail HB 1. Cook’s domain is the Controller General’s Office. Her modus operandi on […]
Which Republican Blogger/Candidate Will Save the DE GOP?
In the fight to “save the DE GOP” we have two people who have been shadow boxing in the gym for a while, but now seem ready to RUMBLE! In this corner wearing gold trunks with embroidered duckies is the man from Greenville, Charlie “Don’t call me Charles Lamot Dupont” Copeland and in this corner […]
se fue
January 2009 has been a great political month for the ol’ nemski. Bush is gone, Obama arrives and now I just read the six sweetest words of the English language in today’s New York Times: This is William Kristol’s last column. Image blatenly borrowed from Progressive Alaska.
John Carpenter’s The Thing With Stop-Motion Animated GI Joes
I found this video by the band Zombie Zombie on Boing Boing. Pretty cool
A Challenger in the NCC 5th
A little birdie (named Rebecca) has told me that the Republican party will be challenging Lisa Diller for Stephanie McClellan’s council seat. The candidate is James Moulthrop Jr. of Old Post Farm. I hope to conduct an interview of Lisa Diller next week. If you know anything about Moulthrop, let’s hear it.
HB 48: Motor Vehicle Document Fee Income Tax Deduction
While Gov. Markell is looking at ways to get us through our current budget crises, State Rep. Charles Bill Oberle (R 24) has sponsored some odd legislation that will take money out of the state budget, HB 48, just when it is needed most. This Act allows for a Personal Income Tax deduction for the […]
A Deliberate Mess or More Incompetence?
How is this possible? President Obama’s plans to expeditiously determine the fates of about 245 terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and quickly close the military prison there were set back last week when incoming legal and national security officials — barred until the inauguration from examining classified material on the detainees — discovered […]
