Bank of America Swirling in Toilet
I’m glad I didn’t buy a bunch of shares when LiberalGeek told me that the Countrywide purchase was a good deal for BoA. .

Day 23: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware
Today we commemorate the 23rd day of Congressman Mike Castle’s betrayal of Delaware when he did not vote for the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009.

Are Banks Making Money Off Unemployment Benefits?
If there’s a justification for the biggest welfare queens in history subsidizing their losses on the backs of people their incompetence and greed helped place in the unemployment line I’m not seeing it.

Around the Horn Friday
Another week, another Delaware Blogosphere “crisis.” This time, Mike Matthews proclaims boldly that he is done with Delaware Liberal because I guess we were too critical of him, or mean.

A Wingnut Smack Down Sans Profanity

Will Healthcare Take Center Stage In Obama’s Big Prime Time Speech?
I sincerely hope so. According to The Plum Line. President Obama may make health care a theme of the big prime-time speech he’s making next Tuesday about the major challenges facing this country, Obama aides confirm to me.

Cowards that they are, Bush’s henchpersons cited ‘technical issues’ in voting against a non-binding UN Resolution. Thanks to Obama, that opposition is no longer […]
Fashizzle My GOPnizzles
Oh man, grab the popcorn, sit back and enjoy the train wreck that is Michael Steele: “We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles,” Steele told the Washington Times. “But we want to apply them to urban-suburban hip-hop settings.” “It will be avant garde, technically,” he […]
