Late Night Music Video: The Raveonettes – That Great Love Sound

Anonone: The Great Arbiter of the Delaware Blogosphere?
Now, this goes with a very large caveat: is the Anonone who just made a great comment that I am about to highlight and which Steve Newton has already highlighted on Delaware Libertarian the same Anonone that battles with Burris and Dave on Delaware Politics and at other sites and that comments here frequently? I […]
More Tales from the Lunatic Fringe
Two more stories you couldn’t make up even on days when you took acid by mistake. From the Moonie (aka Washington) Times: RNC to Vote on Resolution Labeling Democrats ‘Socialists’ The funding fight comes on the heels of another open challenge to Mr. Steele’s authority. Unhappy RNC conservatives secured the signatures to force the committee […]
Castle Sees Writing On The Wall
One of the Washington Post articles on Obama’s 100 days focuses on Delaware Congressman Mike Castle and his friend, Republican Michigan Congressman Fred Upton and their vote against Obama’s budget in January. The money shot isn’t until the last two paragraphs when Castle is quoted as saying: I’m not giving the Republicans a lot of […]
100 Days
I give President Obama an A-. The reason it is a minus is threefold. First, I hate the continuation of the state secrets privilege, but my concern over it is tempered by the fact that Courts will overrule it, as it did today. Second, I am not keen on Giethner’s closeness with Wall Street, and […]
The Governor Of Utah (Yes, Utah!) Fails Conservative Litmus Test
Via John Cole: Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.’s appearance at a Michigan county Republican Party event was scrapped this week after the county chairwoman said that hosting the moderate Utah governor would mean abandoning the party’s conservative principles. Kent County Republican Party Chairwoman Joanne Voorhees abruptly canceled the party fundraiser scheduled for Saturday. “The voters want […]
State Secret BS shot down by Courts
One of the things you don’t here the Teabaggers and the rest of the conservatives talking about is Obama’s attempt to use the Bush hail mary play, aka State Secrets. Obama has used it 3 times already and one of the times has been shot down by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. What he […]

I guess Celia was feeling burned by not cottoning on to the fact that Carney was running when she made her triumphant return to blogging on April 23rd. Anyway, it is official now. Carney is running. Everyone who has been wondering […]
QOD
Is Arlen Specter any different that Delaware’s own infamous Party Switcher, John Atkins? In the end, they are both serving themselves and have no other life beyond politics. They can’t do anything else, and without what little power they weild are really weak, pointless, inconsequential, gutless human beings that have never served the interests of […]
An Open Letter to the NCCo Council
By rejecting Councilman David Tackett’s resolution to make it easier for citizens hear the proceedings in County Council via the web (live or archived video), you put yourselves on the record as firmly opposed to the cause of Open Government. Given the times we live in, restricting the availability of your proceedings demonstrates an incredible […]

Bloggers Win Again
It is a familiar story heard around the country. A blogger criticizes a politician on their blog. The criticism garners attention. The politician or supporters of that politician attempt to retaliate in some way. Some persue underground bully tactics, like trying to out the identity of the blogger if he or she is anonymous or […]
