Filed in National by on March 11, 2009 28 Comments

If you were reading the mainstream media, you would have missed this. A Nazi-sympathizer and white supremacist, distraught over the election of Barack Obama, purchased ‘depleted uranium’ over the ‘net (!?). According to the dispatch from ‘Raw Story’, trust-fund millionaire James Cummings had the resources to construct a ‘dirty bomb’ and had been in contact […]

Thoughts from the Reality Check Town Hall March 9

Filed in Delaware by on March 11, 2009 5 Comments

This is the one in Wilmington held Monday night. There were perhaps 50 people in attendance and lots of politicians — Councilwoman Shabazz and Councilman Wright from the City; Representative Plant, Representative Johnson, Representative Keeley from the House and Senator Henry. No Senator Marshall, which was really strange. Governor Markell was late, so the pols […]

Ron Williams Calls in Rush Limpbaugh To Save Limp Fundraiser

The Gridiron Dinner & Show is an annual horrible train wreck in which clubby backslapping insiders pay $150 for cocktails and the privilege of listening to Delaware pols lampooned half-heartedly by having their names inserted into the song “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina” from the 1978 musical Evita. Hilarious! If that does not sound horrible […]

So if Obama is Responsible for the Tanking of the DOW….

Filed in National by on March 10, 2009 5 Comments

A familiar refrain from the wingnuts over the last month was that the stock market was tanking because it was not liking what it was hearing from President Obama. So if we go by that logic, I now expect them to immediately and without qualification praise President Obama for encouraging today’s nearly 400 point gain […]

(updated with handshake story link) Around 2pm yesterday I headed for the closet and pulled out my white shirt. Reached for the ironing board and the iron. Domsqyuishy was laying in his play pen wide awake. “Ok buddy, Daddy’s got to get ready for tomorrow” and with little to do I might as well iron […]

I Can’t Wait For Tonight’s Daily Show

Filed in National by on March 10, 2009 12 Comments

Taking on a comedian is never wise.  Taking on someone as quick and clever as Jon Stewart is beyond foolish.  Watch the clip.  And while I can’t predict what Stewart will do to Cramer and Scarborough I know it’s going to hurt – in a painfully hilarious sort of way. (h/t TPM and a. price.  […]

I kidded Castle yesterday about his lust for killing snowflake babies – so this is goes inthe “credit where credit is due” file. According to NARAL Mike Castle’s voting record is 100% “pro-choice” so he is not really just after unborn zygotes, but all unborn Americans are on his shit list.

Evolution Vs. Swedish Socialism: What’s a Wingnut to Do? UPDATED with Video!

Filed in National by on March 10, 2009 12 Comments

No, this is not a hypothetical from El Somnambulo’s psychedelics-ravaged mind. From our friends in socialist Sweden comes news that a chimpanzee at a Swedish zoo calmly collects rocks in the morning to hurl at onlookers later in the day. “These observations convincingly show that our fellow apes do consider the future in a very […]

Jason has made an absolute guarantee that Mike Castle will not run for the Senate seat. But what happens if the PPP polling shows Castle close to or beating Biden? Last week Raleigh, North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling announced they would poll several races in Delaware for 2010. On the company’s blog this morning they […]
