Bwah Ha Ha Ha Ha, Dumb Ass
The other day I am perusing Facebook as I am wont to do and I see that Mike Matthews has posted a note about blogging etiquette — which in itself is hysterical since Matthews skated around the edge of trying to out a fellow blogger. But I pay him no mind anymore. Then there are […]
Discrimination is Not a Religious Liberty.
First, a hat tip to Mike Matthews for posting this first. But I want to do more than discuss it as if there were two legitimate points of view at work here. Chris Theis, a leader of the Delaware Family Policy Council, says through his Twitter feed that SB121 (formerly HB5), a bill that would […]
Late Night Educational Video
This is a video by a behavioral economist about how people make decisions. Hint: it’s not always rational.
Look! Torture works
It works of course, if you are torturing them and are hoping they tell you what you want to here. Besides that little bitty nuance, torture is effective! Wooohoooooo!!!!!! WASHINGTON – Accused al-Qaida mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed complained that interrogators tortured lies out of him, though he proudly took credit for more than two dozen […]
Deep thought
A poor person getting over on the government for a few thousand bucks is easier to villafy than a multibillion dollar corporation
Who Said This?
“I don’t understand why Letterman would say that about a young woman… They deserve some kind of protection from being the butt of late-night hosts.” Could it be the same man who said this… “Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because Janet Reno is her father.” Know what I say? H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E.

Castle a Victim of the Latest Pink Postcard?
I got an interesting email yesterday from someone only identified as “Delaware Republican”. Let set aside, for now, that this is the latest handle used by Mike Protack. The content of the letter is essentially a threat that Mike Castle should retire now or face a hard slog where his age is issue #1. You […]
Panetta Makes A Gaffe*
*A gaffe in politics is when you say something truthful. The New Yorker has a long article on Leon Panetta, the new CIA Director. It’s definitely worth a read. Panetta is not a CIA insider, he’s a political operator with a good relationship with the president and is generally considered a good manager. Not long […]
Who is the Other Dem?
In the poll at the left, we are asking who you think the 2010 Senate Matchup will be. The field is still fluid, with both Beau Biden and Mike Castle weighing their options. The only announced candidate that I am aware of Christine O’Donnell. I think the “DELAWARE WAY” has already decreed that Mike Castle […]
