The Ad That Only Batters Women When You Aren’t Looking
Via Gizmodo — a bus stop ad that can tell when you aren’t looking at it. When you are looking, you see what appears to be a happy couple. When you look away, the picture is of the guy apparently beating up the woman. Very, very powerful and one of the cleverest meetings of compelling […]
Name Calling
Remember when the Republican National Committe was debating on whether or not to change the name of the Democratic Party? In that vein, we should decide what to call conservatives because we all know they are anything by conservative. My two favorites are: The Radical Right Christian Theocracists Do you have ideas?
General Assembly Pre-Game Show-Monday, June 29
2 days to go. Based on press reports, the white smoke has yet to be seen from the Legislative Hall chimney. The state’s finances, of course, being the foremost subject facing the Delaware General Assembly. Lots of ‘whipping’ is gonna have to go on, especially in the House Republican Caucus, for a balanced budget to […]
Cutting of Legislators’ Transportation Funds Misguided
A proposal to seriously reduce legislative funds designed to repair roads is ill-considered and will not save money in the long run. It will delay repairs of suburban streets, many of which, by DELDOT’s own grading of the roads, need to be done ASAP. The delays will only lead to increased repair costs when and […]
God Made Me Heterosexual…

Deep thought

Sanford’s Been A Naughty Boy
Oh, Mark Sanford, why won’t you let me ignore you? The State newspaper has a timeline out on the uncovering of the Mark Sanford affair, with some new juicy tidbits. A reporter called a Sanford staffer, saying the paper had e-mails that outlined an affair between the governor and Maria. Unless Sanford would address the […]
Money Where Their Mouths Are
A number of our conservative friends are upset at their standard bearer, Congressman Mike Castle. Not that this is news, since for years far right conservatives like Dana Pico and David Anderson have called Castle a RINO. With his vote for Cap-and-Trade, the conservative dogs are howling yet again. Saturday, George Soros funded a BBQ […]
Reforming the Democratic Presidential Nomination Process
Steve Benen at Washington Monthly reminds us that even though this is a non-election year, there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes. IF I EVER HEAR THE WORD ‘SUPERDELEGATE’ AGAIN…. The current system the major political parties use to nominate presidential candidates has very few defenders. The process is, by any […]
Tyranny and Irony
Remember how the right wing was screaming tyranny at the election of Barack Obama and at the passage of an economic stimulus package? Remember how Michelle Bachmann thinks answering the census is tyranny? Given that the events in Iran and Honduras over the last few weeks have shown us real world examples of tyranny, will […]
Coup In Honduras
It appears there has been a coup in Honduras and a new president has been sworn in. The details are still a bit sketchy, but the old president was exiled by the military to Costa Rica this morning. The news reports say that the president resigned, but (former?) President Manuel Zelaya denies this. There were […]
