Thursday Open Thread
Talk about whatever is knocking around in your head. Here’s one thing that is knocking around in my head, but it’s more of a WTF. Chuck Norris wants you to desecrate a flag: As 9/12 concluded, we all heard many ways to keep this revolutionary movement going. But I was sitting back thinking there’s one […]
Meet The New Massachusetts Senator, Paul Kirk
The new interim Massachusetts Senator is expected to be named today at an 11 a.m. press conference. His name is Paul Kirk: Multiple media sources this morning, indeed, are pointing to the 71 year-old Kirk, a Boston-based attorney who served as the head of the Democratic National Committee in the late 1980s.

Guest Post: Kowalko’s Open Letter to Delaware’s Delegation
Dear Senators Carper, Kauffman and Congressman Castle,
As a Delaware State legislator whose focus and efforts are dedicated to the best interests of all Delawareans just as your efforts have always been focused, I am writing you to ask you to reconsider the consequences of your vote to cut-off “housing and community grant funding” to ACORN.
Drinking Liberally Tonight!
Sorry I’m so late in posting this – I had trouble getting my act together. Anyhoo… hope everyone can join us! Where: CW Harborside (River front) Time: 7:00 p.m. Come join us on the gorgeous outdoor patio (if the weather doesn’t cooperate, meet us inside at the bar). Looking forward to seeing everyone!
After Castle
Having met Tom Kovach at Delaware Liberal’s Miles for Melanoma event this summer, I can say he will be a strong candidate and precisely the “Mike Castle Republican” the GOP needs (and those are Kovach’s words describing himself, not mine). Anthony Wedo? He is an unknown. An investment and resturant executive who could self finance a race. I suppose if the GOP is desparate for a sacrificial lamb against Carney in the House race should Castle retire, someone who can self fund his campaign, then Wedo is the perfect candidate, all the while Kovach can run for Senate and give Beau Biden a run for his money.

A Lynching?

Wednesday Open Thread
A science-y version of your open thread today. Swine flu, yikes! We are already close to the number of cases as we normally have during the peak of flu season and we haven’t even entered the official flu season yet. (The red line is the current flu season and 98% of cases are H1N1 right […]
