Cellphones, Texting And Kids
There’s a debate going on in the Pandora household – Is it time to let the kids have cellphones, and if we let them have cellphones should we let them text? First, is everyone sitting down? Okay, here it is. I do not have a cellphone. Now, everyone take a deep breath and I’ll explain. […]
Limbaugh Doubles Down On Teh Stupid
Oh Rush Limbaugh, you never fail to disappoint (and I do mean disappoint). Limbaugh is still pushing some conspiracy theory that President Obama is going to steal money intended for victims of Haiti. A caller from my hometown challenges him and he manages to keep up the stupid, with a nice dose of misogyny thrown […]
Washington Times: Obama Has Passed More Cuts Than Bush
I know, what you’re thinking: Delaware Liberal is linking to the Washington Times? Has the world gone mad?

President Obama notched substantial successes in spending cuts last […]
Delaware To Appeal Sports Betting To SCOTUS
In what I would call a surprise decision, the Markell administration has announced that it plans to appeal the sports betting decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. Gov. Jack Markell says Delaware will appeal restrictions on it sports betting lottery to the U.S. Supreme Court. Markell and his aides said Thursday that the state expects […]
The Brown Campaign is Over.
So, besides their racist hatred of our nation’s first black President, the supposed freedom loving Teabaggers got their start in opposition to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the bailouts of both the banks, AIG and the auto industry. They screamed “stop the bailouts!” They screamed that it was their money. A new moment […]
I Was Wrong: Republicans Do Have New Ideas
Marco Rubio is the Republican Senate candidate in Florida who is cleaning Crist’s clock. He’s a darling to the Tea Party/Club for Growth set. He proposed an interesting idea for fixing the economy – suspend Congress. Last night on CNBC, Marco Rubio, a right-wing Republican running for US Senate in Florida, told host Larry Kudlow […]
What Sort Of Scum Would Profit Off The Haiti Disaster?
If you answered credit card companies you’d be correct. As a massive human tragedy unfolds in Haiti, relief organizations are soliciting credit-card donations through their hotlines and websites. About 97 percent of these donations will actually make it to the designated organizations — but the other 3 percent will be skimmed off by banks and […]
Thursday Open Thread
Open thread time! Because Katrina response was so great: According to multiple sources, Obama last night called George W. Bush and formally asked him to participate, along with Bill Clinton, in humanitarian relief efforts for Haiti — in the same vein that Bush’s father and Clinton did following the tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia. Bush […]
Legislative Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Thursday, Jan. 14, 2010
According to the Legislative Record, nothing happened yesterday. Of course, in the case of the House of Representatives, we know that committee meetings took place. So, El Somnambulo, you may ask, why does the record not reflect this? Glad you asked as it gives me yet another teaching opportunity. Yay! Once the House breaks for […]
The Haiti Disaster Brings Out Teh Stupid
We’ve already heard about the disgusting statements of Pat Robertson about the Haiti earthquake disaster. Rush Limbaugh also couldn’t help making an ass of himself about the Haiti crisis. On his radio show yesterday Limbaugh said the earthquake in Haiti will play right into Obama’s hands by allowing him to play up his “compassionate” and […]

Scott Brown: Tea Party Who?
Conservative centerfold and MA-Sen candidate Scott Brown now says he’s never even heard of the Tea Party movement. On Wednesday, Republican senate candidate Scott Brown told reporters in Massachusetts that he was “unfamiliar” with the “Tea Party movement,” despite receiving the endorsement of a key national Tea Party group which is currently raising money for […]
