“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.

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.

Panetta Makes A Gaffe*

Filed in National by on June 15, 2009 0 Comments

*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 […]

There is a difference between the Castle Tease and the Biden Tease. Castle is doing it himself. Biden can’t so long as he is on duty in Iraq, a tour which ends in September. So his father steps up to the plate: GREGORY: What advice have you given your son about a potential run for […]

So I’m reading Kavips and I’m stopped cold by this sentence. The average global life expectancy is now 70 years. At 365.25 days per year, that amounts to 25,567 days. After a quick calculation I worked out that I’ve spent 15,490 of my 25,567 already. That’s 60%…gone gone gone. A measly 10,077 to go. Of […]

It was a simple post. So simple that it flummoxed our wingnut readership. Honest Question I need to figure out which of our newer talk-radio drunk fools, liars, and Republican party functionaries are worth paying attention to.
