Krugman: Pass The Bill Already
Congressional Democrats, please listen to this man: A message to House Democrats: This is your moment of truth. You can do the right thing and pass the Senate health care bill. Or you can look for an easy way out, make excuses and fail the test of history. A message to House Democrats: This is […]
How Low Can He Go?
Rush Limbaugh, commenting on Obama’s plan for regulating banks: On Wednesday, Rush Limbaugh accused Barack Obama of waging an anti-Semitic campaign against Jewish people. Limbaugh’s logic? There are a lot of people, when you say banker, people think Jewish. … People who have a little prejudice about them. … To some people, banker is a […]

Thursday Open Thread
It’s Thursday open thread time. Today’s open thread has a theme: racism. The floor is yours. Oh, what is this world coming to when you can’t make a good racist joke among friends? Bill O’Reilly is very very sad that you can’t make “Arab jokes” anymore: O’REILLY: So 48 years ago — 48 years ago […]
It’s Worse Than That, It’s Dead Jim
Well Nancy Pelosi has just come out to say that there aren’t enough votes for the Senate bill in the House. So the Kill the Bill people have won. I am sure that Jane Hamsher is sitting on a barstool next to Jim DeMint slapping each other on the back about how much they just […]
Breaking: Supreme Court Opens The Floodgates
Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, perhaps we might want to keep our eye on the ball. The long-awaited 5-4 ruling, in the Citizens United v. FEC case, presents advocates of regulation with a major challenge in limiting the flow of corporate money into campaigns, and potentially opens the door for unrestricted amounts of corporate money […]
Legislative Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Thursday, Jan. 21, 2010
Post-Game Wrap-Up I interrupt this report to start out today with a raging screed. To the surprise of absolutely nobody. Yesterday, the Delaware State Senate unanimously approved the nomination of Diane Clarke Streett to become a judge on Superior Court. I know this because the Governor’s office sent out a congratulatory release about this. However, […]
Obama To Deal With “Too Big Too Fail”
This is a good move. I feel a lot of resentment against these banks that put our economy on the brink of collapse and then reward their executives for getting taxpayer money. The president, for the first time, will throw his weight behind an approach long championed by Paul A. Volcker, former chairman of the […]
Do Delaware Democrats Have A Plan B?
We are now more than halfway through the month of January and there is still no announced Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Ted Kaufman. How much longer do we have to wait? If Beau Biden isn’t planning to run he’s really putting the Democratic candidate at a disadvantage, Castle has […]

I Wish I Had Thought Of This
Village Voice headline: “Scott Brown Wins Mass. Race, Giving GOP 41-59 Majority in the Senate.” That says it all.
Hitting Our Children; It’s What We Do
Sometimes I wonder why we keep on having the same discussions over and over again. For instance, Scientific American reports on a new study that says parents and caregivers should “eliminate their use of any physical punishment as a disciplinary measure.” The study by the American Psychological Association task force “found correlations between physical punishment […]
