My Take On The Passing of Michael Jackson
I know you’ve heard it all. It’s the only thing on TV this weekend and it will probably continue to be the lead story for another week. I’ve been meaning to put down my thoughts on this event since I first heard the news of Jackson’s death on Thursday afternoon. To read my take, check […]
Pawlenty Will Sign Franken’s Election Certificate

Pawlenty indicated today on CNN that he would sign the certificate once the Minnesota Supreme Court rules. Pawlenty told CNN […]
Kowalko Suits Up For Battle
John Kowalko has been fighting tooth and nail with the Governor (against the across-the-board pay cuts) and against the Republicans that don’t think that we should increase a single tax (even a small tax on alcohol and a larger one on cigarettes). But now, it’s crunch time. By midnight Tuesday they need to have a […]
Fixing The Health Care Bill
Ezra Klein has an idea… Health reform, remember, is a long game. The Senate Finance Committee will not write the health reform bill. They will just write their version of it.

China and the Electric Car
A lot of conservatives are pissing their pants because they think the Chinese will go on polluting the world while America and Europe seek to reduce emissions. While China at the moment certainly has smog problems, I’m quite certain that by 2020, they’ll be working as hard as the West is on trying to prevent […]

Why Delaware Needs Health Reform
Health Care facts and figures, from HealthReform.gov (thanks, HHS Secretary Sebelius!)

The Summer Of Like Like
We’re only a few weeks into summer and there’s one question I’m hearing repeatedly… Yes, but do you like-like him/her? Ah, the teenage years, and I’ll admit I’m suddenly all ears to the new tone of chatter. It’s interesting since the kids on the block only get together every summer. Nine months away from each […]
