Thank God, He is Not Specter.
While I never gave it much thought, the fact that some considered Castle’s statements to Philadelphia Business Weekly equivocal as to whether we would run for the Senate as a Republican gave me enough pause to consider the truly horrifying prospect. Well, Castle cleared it up for us: From CQ Politics: Asked about his comments […]
We Are All Human, Unless Some of Us Pretend We Are Not.
Following up on my original post this afternoon, Daily Kos diarist Liberality echoes my main point of anger concerning Mark “Cry for Me in Argentina” Sanford, but says it better: Gov. Sanford, on the other hand, does not have our sympathy. Not because of his adultery, but because of his hypocrisy. You want the gloating […]
And Yet More Mark Sanford-Inspired Music
Good thing Sondheim’s a better lyricist than Sanford is an e-mail correspondent… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpdB6CN7jww[/youtube]

New Rules For Republican “Fess Conferences”
Just as it is unrealistic to have a celibate Catholic clergy, I don’t think we should expect Republican office holders to be monogamous. They are like bonobo monkeys. They simply have to have sex with people other than their wives, so I think we should let them. Otherwise I think we continue to run the […]
Democratic Party Rules Committee Meeting Tonight
We got a tip from Rebecca Young that the New Castle County Democratic party rules committee is meeting tonight (7 PM at party HQ). I believe the meeting is open to all registered Democrats, at least as an observer. Here’s your chance to have an affect on how the party operates. Put any suggestions for […]
Franchise Fee Cap Raised?
I’m not sure, but it looks like John Kowalko got the tiny increase on Disney and other Fortune 500 companies located in DE passed in the House. Calling El Somnabulo. Do I read this right?
Because Everyone (OK, Joanne C) Requested It

Updated w/ Video: My Advice for Republicans
Stop pretending you are holier than thou. Stop pretending that your values are better than anyone else. The feeding frenzy we are seeing right now with respect to Sen. Ensign and Gov. Sanford, it is because both are supposed family values conservatives of the religious right, both of whom condemn gay marriage as a threat […]
New Senate Leadership Team
It would appear that everyone moves up a rung on the ladder. Per WDEL, current Senate Majority Leader Tony DeLuca will become President Pro Tem, current Senate Majority Whip Patty Blevins will become Majority Leader and Senator Margaret Rose Henry will be the new Majority Whip. No word on if this is temporary until the […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up and Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, June 24
Most of yesterday’s abbreviated sessions were given over to tributes to Thurman Adams. Sen. Nancy Cook reportedly led a group of about a dozen of Adams’ family onto the House floor (Sen. Venables was also with them). Several shared their memories. When it was all over, the session was adjourned for caucus with the announcement […]
