The Wrongness. It Burns.
Conservatives could not have been more wrong if they were named Wrong W. McWrongfield, III. Seriously, you have to work at being as wrong as they were. Failing on such a massive scale makes most people fundamentally reevaluate their very existence. But what did these same conservatives all do? They supported Sarah Palin and championed anti-intellectualism in the last election. That is stunning.

Open Thread: Jack Markell on WDEL 1150AM 1pm to 4pm Today
Update: I promoted this since they are on now. Has a sitting Governor ever guest hosted a radio talk show? Will Brian Selander let any real questions get through?

Republican Fools
Something has happened to me over the last month – I can no longer sustain my outrage over Republican idiocy. There’s just too much stupid. Here’s the latest. Catherine Crabill, the Republican Party’s nominee for Virginia’s 99th District in the House of Delegates, gave a speech at a recent political event suggesting that Second Amendment […]

Carney Raises $262 K
Earlier this week we learned that Mike Castle raised around $125,000 during the last quarter, with only $14,000 of that amount coming from individual contributions and the balance coming from PACs and other political committees. We have remarked that these are hardly encouraging numbers for a man who plans to run for the Senate. Indeed, […]
