Point and Laugh for 4/24
Dana says that our enemies do worse, so torture is okay. A commenter who shows some common sense says: When I was six years old, Dana, my mother taught me that just because someone else does it, doesn’t mean I should do it. Congratulations, the United States is not quite as bad as the Taliban, […]
‘Bulo’s Top 10 2010 Republican Targets-#2
5th Senatorial District-Cathy Cloutier Caustic film critic Pauline Kael once famously called quasi-film star Don Ameche, “The zero who sings.” Don Ameche, meet Cathy Cloutier. Like Ameche, Cloutier is likable and well-intentioned. Like Ameche on film, as a legislator, she’s just there, although sans mustache. Like Ameche, she brings nothing else to the table. And […]
The Tease.
So Mike Castle is telling Celia Cohen and Roll Call that if he is going to run for an elected office in 2010, he is “leaning more toward running for Senate rather than another term in the House, if he decides to run for Congress again in 2010.” He also reveals that he is getting […]
Around the Horn Friday
Life marches on in the First State. Except for Delaware Politics, which in the last week (from Friday April 17 to Friday April 24) has had two posts, both concerning that week’s release of Coastal Sussex. Well, I guess it is representative of the problem facing the Republican Party: no new ideas means no new […]
Final Thought
Sometimes I wonder if maybe Tom Carper is encouraging Castle to run for Senate, so they can go on riding Amtrak together for 6 more years. Castle would support Carper’s watered-down no-brainer environmental agenda, Carper would support Castle’s money picture schemes, and together they’d protect big corporations from consumers. I’m not saying Carper would actively […]
Late Night Music Video: The Breeders – Walk It Off

War is Over?
One of my all-time favorite bloggers, Tennessee’s Southern Beale has a great post from the Radical Right saying that war is over. You got it, even though we have soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan and Bush is considered a “War President”, somewhere between Jan. 19th and Jan 20th, the United States went from being a […]
Open Source Open Letter To Celia Cohen
Looks like Celia Cohen is back to blogging. I’d like to lay down some ground rules so that the blog community can welcome her back without misgivings, so I’ve drafted an open letter to her that I’d like you guys to help me shape up a bit. We all know that blogger ethics are a […]
A Lethal Mixture: Science and the Radical Right
Earlier this month Alabama’s à la Rob wrote about a new “textbook” for homeschoolers, Facts, Nor Fear: Teaching Children About The Environment. It’s really not humorous when non-scientists delve into science. It is valuable as a model of propaganda technique in general, and of anti-regulatory rhetorical strategies in particular. Its method mostly consists of amassing […]
Thursday’s Open Thread
Sorry, we missed yesterday. Roger Cohen in the New York Times says: So I’m wary of the clamor for retribution. Congress failed. The press failed. The judiciary failed. With almost 3,000 dead, America’s checks and balances got skewed, from the Capitol to Wall Street. Scrutiny gave way to acquiescence. Words were spun in feckless patterns. […]
