Sunday Morning Open Thread
We haven’t had one of these in a while. Damnit, we keep saying we are going to have an open thread once a day, and by God, I am going to schedule 50 of them right now over the next week. Ok… coffee kicking in… calming down…. ahhhh. Cheers to Rep. Tom Kovach (R) for […]
Late Night Video — Ultra Deep Field Images
Simply incredible — this is a 3D look at imaging from the new Hubble camera pointed out at a part of the universe thought to be empty
How is that Bipartisanship Working for you Barack?
The media isn’t interested in health care policy because reporting about policy is hard. They are interested in the boxing match. The boxing match is easy. Republicans are not interested in policy or even in helping the country, they are only interested in the boxing match. The only person in the health care reform debate […]
Kaufman Was Willing To Do Town Halls, But Didn’t Want To Make Castle & Carper Look Bad
We live in Chick Shit City and Mike Castle is the Mayor.
Why Fox News is “Overrated”
Scott P breaks it down: “If you try to tell an aggressive right-winger that although they might be loud, their views are in the minority, one of the first things they usually bring up are the ratings for FOX News,” He grants that Fox may have slightly better ratings that some other network, but gives […]
Netroots Nation Day 3
Yesterday was a full day so I didn’t get a chance to post much. Up today is Valerie Jarrett and an economic panel with Jon Corzine, Anna Burger, Kevin Drum and Dean Baker. Yesterday’s highlights were Howard Dean and the Specter/Sestak forum. Specter did better than I expected. He emphasized areas of agreement: pro-choice, pro-stimulus, […]
‘Bulo’s Music For the Masses-Michael Vick Edition
The Canine Who Rubs Against You the Wrong Way is forced to admit it.

The Fraudulence of Wingnuts — Glenn Beck Edition
Outsourced to Jon Stewart who is very funny and very scathing here:
Around the Horn Friday… Moving to Sunday
No, you didn’t miss it. Our founder here at Delaware Liberal, the pure evil Jason330, started the Around the Horn column by placing it on a Friday. I felt, as I took it over, that we should continue posting it on a Friday. But as I thought about it… why Friday? It is the end […]
All of this has happened before…
All of this has happened before…. but will it have to happen again? I have long said intolerance will cease as the intolerant among us die off. Is this the last long final battle that will finally bury the conservative notion of a 1950’s white Christian intolerant America? By their rhetoric, conservatives seem to think it is. Their anger has a “nothing left to lose” quality to it. It is like they know we, as Americans, are at a turning point. It is a turning point I have longed for, and that they have feared, for years.
Damon Weaver Interviews President Obama
This is an impressive interview — Damon Weaver is a 6th grader from a school in Florida whose claim to fame before now was his delightful interview with then Senator Biden — finally gets to interview the President. I thought many of his questions were smarter and more interesting than many I’ve heard at a WH Press Conference.
Twitter War Between Specter And Grassley
I can’t tell you how awesome this is. I’m sure this is a direct result of the forum that Specter spoke at this morning. During the forum he was asked about Grassley’ spreading disinformation on health care (specifically “death panels”) and he promised that he would call Chuck Grassley right after he spoke. Some people […]
