The Flatlining of Dead Tree News
Newspapers falling like dominoes seems to be one of the themes of the year, not unlike the 2 or so banks per week handed over the the FDIC. It never seems quite real until one thing just crystallizes it all. And this is it. Just go see what squeezing every last dollar out of a […]
Tom Carper’s Moderate (sic) Caucus
Is Carper’s Senate Dem “moderate” caucus really moderate? When it comes to taking care of banking industry sugar daddies it seems zealous. Some may even speak the unspeakable word, “extremist.” Here is David Waldman as quoted in a MYDD post by Todd Beeton: Again, nearly 2/3 of the American public supports giving assistance to homeowners struggling with […]
Now That’s What I Call An Apology

That is why they can, without shame or […]
Comment Rescue: Bethany Hall-Long Has The Delaware Disease
If the “Delaware way” means to wait ones turn and rise through the ranks based on cross party alliances and the patronage of a shadowy cabal of power brokers – then the “Delaware disease” is the chronic fear of losing elections once ensconced in your “delaware way” provided sinecure. Even when there is no chance of losing […]

Prison System A National Disgrace
That is the claim Senator Jim Webb makes introducing his National Criminal Justice Act of 2009: America’s criminal justice system has deteriorated to the point that it is a national disgrace. Its irregularities and inequities cut against the notion that we are a society founded on fundamental fairness. Our failure to address this problem has […]
Tell me why…
…Michelle Bachmann should not be arrested immediately for treason or at the very least advocating and/or instigating a treasonous rebellion against the United States of America? She appeared on a radio show in Minnesota earlier this week, describing elected Democratic officials as the “enemy” and encouraging her constituents to be “armed and dangerous.” Soon after, […]
