Filed in National by on April 16, 2009 0 Comments

Great song, not really intended for release as a video – it’s just the band playing the song in the studio during the recording of their debut album. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5uEH36H_do&feature=related[/youtube] i heard you on the radio, you were screaming out; you grabbed me by my heart and soul, through the speaker cone

Comment Rescue: Le DuPont Ancien Régime

Filed in National by on April 16, 2009 7 Comments

John Manifold makes a timely observation. Were I still frequenting downtown bars on weeknights, I’d have poked my nose into the Gold Ballroom 9 days ago to see how widely they spaced the tables at the Steve Forbes dinner. Tix were $150 each. [My taste runs to seeing Harry Kalas and a bunch of athletes […]

Deep Shallow GOP Bench Thought

Filed in National by on April 16, 2009 20 Comments

If, as Geezer suggests, Copeland is going to be tied down by his big loss to Denn then the DE GOP might have Protack and O’Donnell as their standard bearers.   The best case scenario for the DE GOP would be Castle and O’Donnell and even that is pretty lame.

Done and Released

The Obama Administration certainly did the right thing today by releasing the Torture Memos today. (The link is to Salon, and you may have to sit through an ad.) They note that no CIA staff involved with torture will be prosecuted. The ACLU has uploaded pdfs of each memo here. It will take abit to […]

Thursday’s Open Thread

Tea Parties, John Carney running for Congress, and Charlie Copeland launches another website, oh my! BTW, if you haven’t checked out DV’s video montage of Wilmington’s tea parties you’ve missed some great reporting. (I’ve linked to one, but there’s plenty more!) ‘Bulo gives us another great Republican breakdown, while DelawareDem issues a Thank You and […]

A View From The Lofty Perch of Sanity

The Wilmington Delaware Riverfront was host to one of the four “TEA” Parties going on in the state. It was nothing more than a two and a half hour therapy session that had Republican speaker after Republican speaker yap and complain about spending, socialism and pork. One after another they proved they know nothing about […]

‘Bulo’s Top 10 Republican Targets in 2010-#8

Filed in National by on April 16, 2009 8 Comments

8. Sixth Representative District-Thomas Kovach ‘Bulo doesn’t rate this race higher b/c, since defeating Mike Migliore in the special election to replace Diana McWilliams, Kovach has been more of a Dave Ennis-moderate than Wayne Smith- whacko or Greg Lavelle-blowhard. He is voting his Bellefonte/Claymont area district so far. He’s also signed onto some D-sponsored feel-good […]

Comment Rescue: Beware of Sandbagging, Carpetbaggers bearing Teabags

Filed in National by on April 16, 2009 4 Comments

A Glenn Beck zombie didn’t like Copeland horning in on Protack’s glory. The only disappointment was the hijacking of the event at the beginning by the Delaware GOP and Charles Copeland. I don’t think Mr. Copeland attended any of the planning or did any work for the event. At least he was not there when […]
