Will The Real Mike Castle Please Stand Up?
Mike Castle is trying to have things both ways. He’s trying to reassure the rightwing the he’s their guy while trying to maintain his cred as a moderate Republican.

January Cattle Call
The Calendar tells me that it is 2010. But the real important date is July 30, 2010. That is the filing deadline. And until then we really will not know officially who is running for what when. But let’s play our game anyway. The game is rampant and unsourced speculation.

Signed,
Wondering in Wilmington

Inhofe suffered his latest indignity at the hands of Rolling Stone, which awarded him the 7th spot on its list of the “planet’s worst enemies.” Inhofe took this as a slight. “I should have been number one,” he told KFAQ radio […]
Bulo’s Music for the Masses: R. I. P. Bobby Charles

Bobby Charles, actually Robert Charles Guidry, was a Cajun who was first inspired by Fats Domino and who helped to create that wonderful […]
