Bulo Remembers 2009-Most Interesting Ideas of the Year
For the ninth consecutive year, the New York Times Magazine has published its Year In Ideas section. If you have a brain, you’ll want to read it. It is, as the title suggests, thought-provoking. I even found one idea that, were I a state legislator, I’d turn into a bill as soon as possible (more […]
Carper Fights For His Base
Earlier this year Carper voted with the Republicans to block an amendment to allow Medicaid and Medicare to negotiate drug prices. It caused quite a stir because Carper railed against the unfairness of hurting the profits of drug companies. Carper is doing it again. Byron Dorgan has filed an amendment to allow drug reimportation from […]
Wow. Just Wow.
Looks like the always interesting Michael Steele did a photo shoot with the Republican party interns. Please don’t drink liquid while viewing the pictures.
Bottom line, Michael Steele has no idea ‘what up’ with the Asian guy.
ACORN Scores A Victory
ACORN has scored a court victory, successfully arguing that Congress’s defunding bill was a bill of attainder: A judge has put an injunction on Congress’s ban on ACORN funding. U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon today ruled to put a preliminary injunction on the Congressional resolution that barred ACORN or its affiliates from receiving federal funds, […]
Friday Open Thread
Time for your open thread again. Type away and have fun! We’ve had an invasion of scientific “experts” lately, so I thought you might enjoy this. Wikileaks has the doctoral thesis of one Kent Hovind, in Christian Education from Patriot University. Kent Hovind is currently in prison for tax evasion (he forgot the part about […]
More on The War on Christmas Party
Over the past week, I have told several people about our War on Christmas party. I have been very surprised that I had to explain it to many people. Apparently, it is somewhat of an inside joke on the Internet. I guess it is good that most people haven’t been tricked into this whole War […]

From Eat Me Daily, a distinguished group of DIY’s. Also, check out that Bacon Christmas Tree Postcard. As always, one of the most valuable features of […]
Fox News Is Off The Deep End
I was doing my normal evening blog surfing and I came across this article at TPM: Fox Poll: Does Obama Want To Cut Taxes, Or Is He Corrupt Instead? To be specific, here’s what the poll asked: “What do you think President Obama would like to do with the extra bank bailout money — save […]
Wait… I Thought That Christians Were Under Attack
We get wacky visitors here all the time talking about how Christmas is under fire, or that liberals are trying to take God out of everything… Then this. North Carolina’s constitution is clear: politicians who deny the existence of God are barred from holding office. Opponents of Cecil Bothwell are seizing on that law to […]
Anybody Not See This Coming?
Via Think Progress: In an interview with National Review today, DeMint said that the tea parties should no longer be thought of as “separate” from the Republican Party: “The GOP leadership needs to stand up for mainstream American principles,” says DeMint. The best way to do that, he says, is to “look to the great […]
Governor Markell Discusses Delaware as a Wind Energy Hub
Governor Markell addressed the AWEA’s Offhsore Wind Workshop a few weeks back, highlighting his plans to make Delaware a hub of offshore wind energy expertise and manufacturing. We’ve been enthusiastic about this previously, and we’re still enthusiastic. Starting with the U of D really evolving as a major research center for applied alternate energy strategies, to the Bluewater Wind effort, to work to manufacture components here there is great groundwork to grow a real next generation piece of the economy right here.
