Breaking News: Bank of America still paying bonuses
I have first hand factual knowledge that Bank of America employees in Delaware are receiving bonuses. Employees down to the Assistant Vice President Level are receiving several thousands dollars for their hard work in 2008.
Blogging is a Conversation
It is a conversation that bends space and time. I had a conversation with Allan Loudell and Jack Markell through blogging tonight. Loudell behind his microphone, me in my car, Jack on the telephone.

Seeing as how Republicans believe the market acts rationally and is the only barometer to measure policies, obviously they’re going to to pin a 236 point rally on Obama. Wall Street always behaves rationally, after all. Ha ha ha, I crack me up. I look forward to comments below from the wingnuts telling me how […]

Gordon Liddy concerning WH Press Secretary Gibbs comments. SANTELLI: He started that press conference saying, “I don’t know where he lives, I don’t […]

Markell, DEDO Director Levin to Make Economic Development Announcement When: Wednesday, Feb. 25, 10 a.m. Where: Barclays, 125 S. West St., Wilmington.
