The GOP Braintrust Has Been Busy
The Haiti earthquake has really brought the GOP braintrust out in full force. Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Mark Krikorian have all embarrassed themselves lately. The latest member to speak is South Carolina’s Lt. Governor Andre Bauer. In his case he wasn’t talking about Haiti in particular, just poor people in general: Bauer, […]
David Plouffe To The Rescue
Yesterday the White House announced that David Plouffe, Obama’s campaign manager, would take an expanded role. Today an op-ed by Plouffe appeared in the Washington Post called “November doesn’t need to be a nightmare for Democrats.” I hope Democrats are listening to him: We still have much to do before November, and time is running […]

Weekend Open Thread
Hooray for the weekend! I’ve had a busy weekend so far because I just got back from the pancake breakfast fundraiser. I’m ready for a nap! Anyway, let’s go with this open thread. The “urban heat island” effect does not explain away global warming: Many skeptics for years have sought to explain away decades of […]
Another Dispatch From The GOP Braintrust
It’s been a pretty depressing week for Democrats, watching their supposed leaders turn into lumps of useless jelly because they are actually supposed to do something instead of just talking about doing something. Then along comes NRO’s Mark Krikorian to remind us that, yes, Republicans are worse. Today, Krikorian is arguing against the U.S. taking […]
Wilmington City Council Approves Protester Buffer Zone for Health Facilities
John Manifold noted this in the Open Thread yesterday, but it is worth its own post. And this is good news too — the ordinance that the Wilmington City Council approved would require protesters within 100 feet of health care facilities to stay at least 8 feet away from people coming and going into the […]
Pop Friday Music Video: Hollywood, by Marina and the Diamonds
Conservatives hate things that are unpatriotic, except that they also hate our president and want America to fail. This is what happens when your entire political philosophy is purely emotional rather than rational.

The 24th Representative District Democratic Committee is teaming up with the UAW 1183 Emergency Food Closet to hold a pancake breakfast. Seatings are at […]
Friday Open Thread
It’s your TGIF version of your open thread. Let’s roll. I obviously picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue: During an interview with Mike Huckabee last night on Fox News, host Greta Van Susteren said that Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts’ U.S. Senate special election this week “has awakened people there might be […]
Governor Markell’s State of the State Address
First, I should apologize to readers for not getting something up on this earlier — I’ve been completely slammed by work this week and missed alot of news and activity here as a result. Governor Markell gave his State of the State address yesterday. Just from reading this, the Governor still sees plenty of fiscal […]
“When Democrats Retreat, You Better Watch Out Or You Will Get Run Over”
Those are John Cole’s words, which go a long way in describing my feelings about the chances of HCR getting better and not worse. Yesterday, in one of John’s typically snarky posts he asked: My only question- which house blue dog will be the first to introduce a bill extend the Bush tax cuts to […]
