When it rains it poors
I think most of you know a little about my history and the early Donviti days. If you don’t well, here is a little back story. I was 19 when I found out, actually 18, I was 18 when I found out my girlfriend was pregnant. 19 when my first daughter was born. I was […]
The New Face of the GOP Indeed
Get your coffee and then settle in to see this (I think about 5 or 6 mins long): He already has the FBI looking into a campaign payment to a defunct company owned by his sister. Today we see the full embrace of the movement tactics of just funneling money to your buds. Who knows […]
Delawarean, David Plouffe, Smacks Down GOP Partisanship
The numbers don’t lie The source of Obama’s advantage is critical: independent voters, who give the president high marks on his handling of the economy and his job overall. Obama won these voters, who famously recoil from what they see as overly partisan and shortsighted politics, by eight points in 2008 — a dramatic improvement […]
Deep thought
If people on wall street are telling me what Obama is doing is not good for the country, I have a hard time believing them
Political Flirting
Terri over at Kentucky’s Barefoot and Progressive once read a big book out of spite which lead her to write a great post. Here’s the spite: We parted ways, of course. Maybe it was the Icehouse and peppermint schnaaps. Maybe it was the women’s studies classes. We just never really clicked. No hard feelings, though. […]

CASTLE RESPONDS TO RUSH LIMBAUGH’S ADDRESS TO CPAC

Washington – “Rush Limbaugh delivered what I consider to be a clear assessment of our party’s current situation and some of the electoral challenges facing us. I appreciated his straightforward approach while relaying such important details to American conservatives. I share the de facto Chairman’s goals in so many […]
You’d think
You’d think that a blog with part of its’ name being “Commonsense” you’d see some of that in the blogging… Think again: I mean, surely she has to have heard about the ferfuffle over the New York Post cartoon that some have thought implied President Obama was a chimp, or at the very least that […]
Day 34: Mike Castle’s Betrayal of Delaware w/ Bonus QotD
The question of the day is this: What do Congressman Mike Castle and RNC Chair Michael Steele have in common?
Comment Rescue: Love!
David Anderson: I love President Bush Love! Never mind the fact that he goes on to criticize Bush. He only does so with love in his heart. Tell me, Republicans, though you may have many criticisms of your former president, do you still love him? (let’s be adults here – obviously we’re talking about admiring […]
No Country For Clean Coal
The Reality Campaign has lured the Coen Brothers into making a commercial to mock the whole idea of “clean coal”: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFJVbdiMgfM[/youtube] Their signature dry (and quirky) humor is on full display here, but I’m not so sure how well this works for a 30 second commercial. But they’ve also got a blog to help you […]
