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?

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.

No word on if this is temporary until the […]

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 […]
The Governor’s Tax Package-Bill By Bill
Here is a summary of, and link to, each bill in the Governor’s tax package. As required by law, all revenue enhancers must start in the House, and a 3/5 majority is needed for passage. Please note that all are sponsored by the Democratic leadership as the Rethugs seem determined to simply play political Russian […]
Sanford Returns From Secret (Sex/Drug?) Trip to Buenos Aires
Sanford very well may have been in the airport stall next to Larry Craig. Of course, Nate points out the the Mayo Clinic is also in the area. Everyone relax, it was just a secret trip to Buenos Aires. Sanford said he was alone on the trip. He declined to give any additional details about what […]

This is the first time the federal government has issued offshore wind leases, and the decision comes after the administration papered over regulatory infighting among various agencies […]
Deep thought
The Republicans are doing their best to not allow people to remember that everything they said months and months ago seemed to be for the small businesses in this country and how they, the small businesses are the ones that create the majority of the jobs in this country. It seems that now, they are […]
Confession
I’ll admit it – I ruined blogging. I was trying to reach something on the top shelf and I accidently knocked blogging off. It broke into a bunch of pieces. I tried to superglue it back together, but it fell apart again. My bad.
