Deep thought QOD
Do you think Republicans realize that their “Free Market” approach to the economy, combined with their monetary policies created the migration of all the people from Mexico and all the other Latin American countries to this country?
That’s Saul, Folks
Turns out the RNC did not have much a choice when they elected Grandmaster Steele. Michigan Liberal points us to this ditty from Saul Anuzis, former Michigan Republican Party chair and opponent to Steel for the RNC chair: We’ve so overused the word ‘socialism’ that it no longer has the negative connotation it had 20 […]
Monday’s Open Thread
Some things to discuss might be the anniversaries of Ruby Ridge, Oklahoma City bombing and Columbine. Or you can talk about the problems in tracking food scares in the United States (NYT), the Summit of the Americas (Miami Herald) or that Senator-elect Al Franken has started picking a staff for DC (Minneapolis Star-Tribune). Hey, even […]
More Dishonesty on the DHS Extremists Reports — Part I
I gather that the manufactured outrage of the day is over President Obama shaking the hand of Hugo Chavez. Last week’s manufactured outrage over the DHS Threat Assessments deserves abit more information — especially as the remarkable dishonesty around all of this is being used to not just work the refs but to also try […]
At What Point Does The Exception Become The Rule?
Having been away this weekend I missed this gem of a message left on Kel Munger’s voice mail. I believe it speaks for itself and accurately sums up the mindset behind the Tea Parties.

11th Representative District: Greg Lavelle Bleatings from the Rethuglican flock notwithstanding, Brandywine Hundred remains a target-rich environment for the D’s. Already gone are the 7th RD, formerly held by Wayne Smith; the 10th RD, the previous domain of Bob Valihura, and Jane Maroney before him; and the 4th Senatorial District, by registration the most R […]
Boehner Passes Gas
Boehner blames cows for Global Warming. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te3J5Rd-jf8[/youtube] Words cannot express how sick I am of Republicans donning lab coats in order to play scientists on television. Global Warming is not a political argument, but I’m beginning to think that everything is political to Republicans. They are solutionless on all fronts – Worse, they’re actually proud […]
Poll: How do you feel about sports betting in DE?
I’ve never been a fan of lotteries and gaming, but it’s time to end the legislature’s crony capitalism. Why should a small well connected clique be the primary beneficiaries of expanded gaming? DEFAC just reported that the historic budget shortfall Gov. Jack Markell and legislators will have to solve has grown even more severe and […]
