Deep Budget Thought
Someday in the future, when the last Delaware smoker buys the last pack of cigarettes, it will cost him $90.00. $89.00 of which will be taxes.
Why I Hate The Media Part: CXVIIDCM
Devil’s Tower point’s to the right-wing meme going around about FDR and the great depression – but the larger issue is that conservatives have learned how to manipulate the media. Conservatives know that the media will accept anything… ANYTHING… that right wingers say as factual, provided they say it repeatedly. Even the esteemed Allan Loudell […]
Happy Anniversary, John Atkins
It was on this day, 2 years ago that John Atkins tearfully resigned on the floor of the State House of Representatives. That was a great day. Too bad we’ve had a string of bad days with him since.
Operation Chaos
Remember Rush Limbaugh and his Operation Chaos, where he wanted his mindless followers to change their party registration from Republican to Democratic so that they could vote for Hillary Clinton in the Pennsylvania primary and in other states so as to prolong the divisive Democratic primary? Well, Delaware is two steps away from making it […]
GOP Reaches Back.
Steve Forbes? Is that the guy with those strange buggy eyes that thought being related to a rich family meant that he could be President? The magazine publisher and one-time presidential candidate will make a visit to some familiar territory when he comes to Wilmington’s Hotel du Pont on April 7 to accept the fourth […]
Ask Dr. Liberal
A reader writes in: Dear Dr. Liberal. I gave my boss, who I like and respect, an expensive little lacquer box that I got on vacation. She said she loved it and made a big fuss when I gave it to here, but when I was back in her office later that day, my jaw […]

A Great Day for Equality in Delaware
Fresh from the news that the Marriage Discrimination Bill went down to defeat in the Senate, we now learn that the House has passed HB5, the anti-discrimination bill sponsored by House Majority Leader Peter Schwartzkopf (D-Rehoboth) that would finally prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. The vote was 26-14. According to the House Press Release, […]
Breaking:’Sanctity of Marriage’ Bill Defeated
Sen. Robert Venables’ attempt to permanently outlaw same-sex marriage was defeated in the State Senate today. The roll call for SS1 for SB 27 was 9 in favor, 11 opposed, and one not voting. Because this was the first leg of a constitutional amendment, 14 affirmative votes were needed for passage. Instead, the vote failed […]
Michelle Bachmann is Stupid or Evil, or Both.
The Fire Breathing Traitorous McCarthyite Representative Michelle Bachmann has engaged in yet another fire breathing display of drama. But this time, it seems she does not understand what she is so angry about, or she does understand, and is just trying to gin up a false controversy, since, as we all know, the Republicans stand […]
Really NCAA..? (w/ apologies to Seth Meyers)
You are really going to punish Delaware because we have sports betting? Really? You have playoff games in Las Vegas Nevada, but you are really going to punish Delaware? Really? Delaware sports betting is going to harm the purity of sport…really? When you run Division 1 football and basketball like feeder programs for the NFL […]
Republicans Unveil Their Budget Plan… Or Not
Tax cuts for the rich? Check. What? Were you expecting more? Apparently so were reporters… “Two nights ago, the president said, ‘We haven’t seen a budget yet out of Republicans.’ Well, it’s just not true, because here it is, Mr. President,” said House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), waving a blue document in the air.
