Deep Thought
Jack Markell should be all…”The franchise fee cap is way too high, yo. We need to knock that shit down!” Then Dick Cathcart would be all..”Fuck that! The franchise fee cap needs to be raised, Big time!” Then Jack would be all, “If you say so Dick.”
They Are Losing Their Minds
They are crazy. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) has now signed up with the Birther cause — the people who think Barack Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen and should be required to produce a birth certificate (which he already did, anyway) — World Net Daily reports. Is this all they have? Looks like it. The 21% […]
Donviti FYI #1
I know I’m a better Christian than Mike Protack, David Anderson, Frank Knotts, and Art Downs to name just a few faux Christians.
SB 121 First On Tuesday’s Senate Agenda
Some things just can’t wait for Tuesday’s pre-game show. SB 121, which would outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation, is #1 on the Senate agenda for Tuesday. Predictably, Sen. Bob Venables (D-Mars) has lobbed in three amendments, only one of which has even a passing acquaintance with sanity. He’s probably got a few more being […]
Alaska’s Crazy-Ass Haters Look Like Delaware’s Crazy-Ass Haters
My Home(r) Girl Shannyn Moore of the blog Just a Girl From Homer compiled pictures of the “Christians” that showed up to protest an ordinance not unlike our SB121. The pictures have been set to music and put in video form. I love that they spelled “straight” wrong on the car window. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkQ8PJ9kyY[/youtube]
With leadership Like Mike Protack, is this surprising?
Poll: Republican Party Now Less Popular Than Dick Cheney Lost in the news yesterday about the polls showing eroding support for Obama’s policies was a funny detail in the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll: The overall popularity of the Republican Party has now dropped below even the abysmal level of approval enjoyed by Dick Cheney. The […]
The Ensign Plot Thickens
I figured the John Ensign affair scandal was just your regular, run-of-the-mill adultery scandal. Apparently it’s a lot more complicated than that. At one time, Ensign employed the woman, her husband and her son at the same time. Ensign also got a job for the woman’s husband with a campaign contributor. Now there are two […]
Around the Horn Friday
It has been a busy week in the Delaware blogosphere. For this post, I have a few criteria. For example, I do not include in this roundup any post that is not about local or Delaware politics. With that very restrictive criteria, I was still left with 89 posts from you very prolific writers. And […]
Don’t Call Me Liz!
This is a funny, yet bizarre segment from Countdown last night. Congressman Jim McDermott’s staffer really, really objects to being called Liz in an email exchange. The re-enactment is hilarious! Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
General Assembly June 18 Post-Game Show: “Everything Else” Edition
Lots more noteworthy stuff happened and didn’t happen yesterday in Dover. First, here’s the whole enchilada: Now here’s that Spicy Somnambulo Salsa that turns an otherwise bland meal into a taste sensation: Highlights from the Senate: HCR 7(Oberle), discussed here yesterday, passed the Senate w/o opposition but with a Senate Amendment, which supporters had sought […]
General Assembly June 18 Post-Game Show: “Everything Falls Apart” Edition
Apparently taking their cues from Mitch McConnell, the Republican Caucus of the Delaware House of Representatives has decided to blow to smithereens any hope of addressing Delaware’s dire fiscal situation by June 30. Yesterday, the Rethugs, led by Minority Leader and Delaware State University bagman Dick Cathcart, defeated, on straight party line votes, three bills […]
Neato Shit
Whenever I see neato shit like this “augmented reality” browser for a smart phone, my wonder and awe is tempered by the fact that the most consumed fuel for cooking in the world is still wood. That’s right, wood. The same stuff Jesus and 2,000 years befor him befor him, kRoqMgrok of the hill people […]
