The 5 Stages.
With many conservatives resorting to treason in forming sleeper cells and advocating violence against the federal government, it occurred to me that Republicans have finally entered the second stage of the greiving process: that of anger. The stages are: 1. Denial (“I feel fine.”; “This can’t be happening, not to me!) 2. Anger (“Why me? […]
Republicans Have Bigger Problems Than Lowering Pelosi’s Poll Numbers
They have Rush’s poll numbers. According to the Democratic polling firm, voters view the conservative talk show host “negatively by a two-to-one ratio (53 to 26 percent), with nearly half the country, 45 percent, viewing him very, very negatively. Among independents, the ratio rises to three-to-one.” 45% view him very, very negatively. I’m shocked, I […]
BREAKING: Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston Split.
From the files of “Who Could have Predicted?”: Sarah Palin’s 18-year-old daughter Bristol has reportedly broken off her engagement with Levi Johnston, the father of her 2-month-old son Tripp. Um, I could have predicted. I did predict it. It was a shotgun wedding planned solely for political purposes. UPDATE: I fear I may have to […]
Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter?
First off, do we want him? I don’t. Markos posits that the only way that Specter wins reelection is by becoming a Democratic or an Independent caucusing with the Democrats. This declaration is based on several facts: 1) While Pennsylvania has become a pretty reliable Democratic state at the federal level, the PA Republican Party […]
Republican Air Rage
Far Right Repubican Sen. David Vitter threw a temper tantrum like the child that he is at Washington’s Dulles International Airport while trying to catch a flight home to New Orleans. The Louisiana senator arrived at his gate to find it already closed and then “opened the door, setting off a security alarm and prompting […]
Comment Rescue: What’s Going On With the SEU?
Anon posted the following question, and El Somnambulo would hope that our environmental watchdogs could answer it: “Speaking of environmental stuff… Anyone know what this means? NEWS FROM THE DELAWARE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL March 10, 2009 Vol. 39, No. 82 Contact: Charlie Smisson, Delaware Energy Office, 302-735-3480; or Melanie Rapp, Public Affairs, […]
Guns . . .
Love ’em! And this should warm the cockles of the Radical Right’s heart (if they have one), Europe is becoming more like us.
Delaware Gives Markell Very High Marks
More Public Policy Polling Numbers are In and Markell is well loved. Over the last year and a half PPP has done approval ratings on Senators and Governors in states across the country but never has it ever found a Governor with as high an approval rating as Delaware’s Jack Markell It is not just […]
News Journal Flies to Defend Mike Castle Against Bad News
This editorial framed as a news story is not surprising. Don’t shade Delaware a fully blue state quite yet Even though Democrats Barack Obama and Jack Markell easily won in Delaware last November, there still is a Republican to be reckoned with. According to a poll released Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Mike Castle has more support […]
Cat Calls
Thomas Friedman: Meanwhile, the Republican Party behaves as if it would rather see the country fail than Barack Obama succeed. Rush Limbaugh, the de facto G.O.P. boss, said so explicitly, prompting John McCain to declare about President Obama to Politico: “I don’t want him to fail in his mission of restoring our economy.” The G.O.P. […]
“The Party of Ideas'” Hit Their Approach to Governing
So while they’re complaining about the fact that Obama is taking on too much (BTW, Tommywonk has a great post on this here.) and not focusing on the economy, here is what the GOP plans to do to help resolve the crisis: “We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every […]
