My Thoughts on the Convention.
Why was it held? Seriously. Why? I went to the convention anticipating high drama. A floor fight over U.I.’s torture resolution. Perhaps multiple ballots on the party chair races. What did I get? I got shouted at by Auctioneer Tom Carper. I saw a party chair so disorganized that it made me wonder if he […]
Delaware Democratic Convention Wrap-Up: Delegate’s View
Well, I’m back from the Delaware Democratic convention. It was an interesting time. A little more chaotic than I expected, but really no fireworks. The atmosphere pre-convention was really quite intense, with delegates really getting lobbied on the leadership race. I felt like I wanted to hide for a while, really. Here are the outcomes: […]

‘Bulo’s Music For the Masses-‘Influenced by the ’80’s’ Edition
The Beast Who Slumbers roused himself from his torpor (don’t ask how, this is a family blog…) to forage for more musical nuggets from the ’80’s. In performing this aural archeology, he unearthed three great artifacts, one from the ’70’s, and two from the early ’90’s, each by artists who had success in the ’80’s. […]

Why I am a Progressive
Mike Lux over at Open Left has a great run down of why he is a progressive. I echo this list. After going through a history of what Progressives have accomplished in history, he asks what we can accomplish in the future (i.e. almost everything that comprises modern American life). In the comments, tell us […]
Is Obama Saving Moderate Republicans?
News reports appeared last night that Obama will name Utah governor Jon Huntsman as ambassador to China. Governor Huntsman is the Republican governor who expressed support for civil unions and whose speech in Michigan was canceled by a county GOP because he was insufficiently Republican. Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who is fluent in Mandarin Chinese […]
