Customer Service
Nate Silver writes: Anyone who’s ever had to deal with Dell customer service knows that, indeed, there IS a company more desperately terrible than Comcast in this department. Conservatives would say that in theory the market would replace those horrorshow companies, but for anyone who lives in the real world and interacts with American customer […]
New DNREC Role: Getting to the True Costs of Energy
Tommywonk tells us about a directive Gov. Jack Markell has made to the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) to take a place at the table as the Public Service Commission evaluates Delmarva Power’s Integrated Resource Plan.

The definition of Greed
Bank of America must think that this is still the Bush Administration and they can get away with trying to be above the law. This can’t get much more disgusting. They know they aren’t going to be able to pay out jthe bonuses later so they bust their asses to pay them out early. It […]
QOD
Quick, without looking anything up on the internet, answer this question: Who is your state Senator, state Representative, and County Councilman? And if you live in a city or a town with councils, name your city or town council.
O’Donnell to Run for President.
And Mike Matthews just fainted with dreams of being the First First Gentleman. But no, not our favorite local wingnut Christine O’Donnell. Ed O’Donnell. Who? Precisely. WDEL is currently running a story about a little known perennial candidate named Ed O’Donnell, who just “announced” that he is running for the Patriot Party’s (what?) nomination for […]

Sure, they can name their President, their Vice President, and they can probably name their two U.S. Senators and Congressman, and their Governor. But as for their real local representatives in their […]
TO Gone from Dallas Zoo
Pro football’s most famous opera singer (me-me-me-me) has sung his last aria for the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry ‘Kids, Don’t Let Cosmetic Surgery Do This To You’ Jones has parted ways with the man Bill Parcells referred to as ‘that player’. Of course, football’s finest diva will not be out of the spotlight for long: The […]

They say an Elephant has a long memory.
Apparently not. From People For The American Way: In a letter released [Monday], all 41 Senate Republicans threatened to filibuster President Obama’s judicial nominees unless they were given veto power over judges from their states. The letter also demanded that President Obama renominate ultra-conservative Bush nominees like Peter Keisler, Glen Conrad and Paul Diamond. […] […]
Civics: A Parent’s Responsibility
It has always been unbelievable to me that there could be seniors in high school who do not have a basic understanding of the governmental institutions, about the duties and responsibilities of citizenship, about the roles of Congress and the President. Indeed, the lack of that knowledge is dangerous to the preservation of our Republic, […]
