Is Hasan a Terrorist?
I was having a discussion at work the other day about the Ft. Hood killings. One of my co-workers said, “He’s a terrorist.” I disagreed with him and stated my definition of terrorism. Primarily, it deals with the motive of the act being designed to terrorize a populace into forcing a political change. Israel, Northern […]

Why Eminent Domain Had To Be Reformed
Hopefully we all remember the fight that Ed Osbourne fought for several years to prevent his business (an incredible auto repair shop) from being taken through eminent domain. The issue was that an extremely shitty Supreme Court decision had ruled that it was legal to seize property (with compensation) through eminent domain in order to […]
A Classic Takedown of Carper and Corporate Whore Democrats
From Hunter of Daily Kos: So, let me get this straight: we’ve got Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE), of all people, coming up with an “alternative” to the currently proposed opt-out public option.

As a terrible storm slowly works its way up the coast, I hereby call on Mike Castle and Sussex County Republicans to demand that the federal government save our tax dollars by not spending on beach replenishment.

DE’s Sex Offender Registry-Good News/Bad News
In one case at least, common sense has finally won out. From today’s News-Journal: For the second time this year, the Delaware Supreme Court has found that a person legally can be removed from the state’s sex offender registry — implicitly finding that the registry is not a permanent life sentence without exception and that […]
They have a candidate… finally.
The first Republican to place his or her hat in the ring to be Mike Castle’s successor in Congress is business owner and political novice Fred Cullis. He generated so much excitement for his campaign that 6 people, including his staff and family, showed up for his announcement.
Will Wolf Blitzer Take Lou Dobb’s Seat On The Crazy Train?
Because it sure looks like he’s auditioning for the role. On CNN this afternoon, Wolf Blitzer really antagonized Col. John Galligan (Ret.), the civilian attorney of suspected Fort Hood shooter Maj.
