DTC Presents: All the Great Books Abridged
Unfortunately there are only 4 shows left of this hilarious play. I took my limo to see it last night and the only thing I regret is I had the wrong champagne for the event. The play has a show tonight, 2 Saturday and 1 Sunday. If you have time, go see it. Tickets are […]
Tempest
Best Parody of that silly NOM ad: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0pPEAdDn64[/youtube]
Fox News Reports on Its Own DHS Hysteria
And Shep Smith does real journalism again. I can’t find an embeddable video of this, but you can see it over at Crooks and Liars and you should watch the whole thing. What he reports is: There was a left-wing extremist report released in January, that we haven’t heard anyone whine about yet. Any thoughts […]
Stupid Marketing
Sure the newspaper business is a dying model. But the dummies that run the New York Times missed a huge opportunity to make the NYT into the Nation’s liberal newspaper of record. I think over the last eight years there would have been a huge market for first rate investigative reporting and commentary from […]
I wonder if Rick Jetson will rally his base for this one
Hey…lookie, lookie Susiemadrak.com had this lovely find: This month, every Republican senator, joined bizarrely by 10 Democrats, pushed for yet another tax break for the super-wealthy — the elite 5,854 estates in all of America valued at $7 million or more per couple. Who are these senators so distressed that the children of the very […]
Around the Tea Bag Friday
Two stories dominated the Delaware blogosphere this week: 1) John Carney upsetting the Delaware Way and perhaps forcing Mike Castle into retirement (one way or the other), 2) the gathering of homogeneous crowds who think their taxes have been raised even though they got a tax cut and who love tea bags, or teabagging, or […]
Poll: What should happen if Texas were to secede from the Union?
Texas Gov Rick Perry, and a great many teabggers, think that Texas has the right to break away from the United States because we elected a Democratic President. As, the burnt Orange Report points out, we fought a war back in the 1800’s (and we have a 5-3 Supreme Court decision) that settled that question. […]
Late Night Music Video: Air Traffic – Never Even Told Me Her Name
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
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
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 […]
New Teabag Rules
The new Republican “theory” of democracy: GOP wins: “Mandate! Elections have consequences!” GOP loses: “Tyranny! Fascism! Revolution! Secession!”
