I Have The World’s Smallest Violin

I Have The World’s Smallest Violin

My violin weeps for Bart Stupak. He went from the U.S.’s most important Congressman to irrelevant. He went to a publication that has only the Democratic party’s best interest in mind, the National Review Online to have a pity party complain: Sitting in an airport, on his way home to Michigan, Rep. Bart Stupak, a […]

Things Aren’t Always ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ Concerning Family Values

Things Aren’t Always ‘Red’ and ‘Blue’ Concerning Family Values

The problem with social conservatism is that it backs good people into a corner, whether it’s Utah leading the nation in pornography consumption or the litany of Republican politicians who dip their wick outside their marriage bed. As much as we might enjoy the downfall of hypocrites like Sanford and other self-righteous politicians from the […]

Booth in a Box

Booth in a Box

Booth has been running around like a chicken with its head cut off where this bill is concerned. He puts his name on a bill written by an NRA lobbyist and then is surprised that the bill overturns all gun control legislation? Really, Joe? As a Sussex County Senator, you have to wonder why Joe Booth didn’t go the Atkins route. He wouldn’t get in trouble with his constituents if he had gone all Second Amendment on our asses. So why is he dancing around?

A Quick Idea About Earmarks

Filed in National by on March 12, 2010 7 Comments

As a belated follow-up to Cassandra’s wonderful post on Monday (yeah, the new guy’s sucking up. You got a problem with that?) that touched on earmark reform, I have an idea I want to throw out. This morning as I was doing my usual volunteer work (or I might have been in the bathroom — memory’s […]

Chip Flowers’ Bold Plan

Chip Flowers’ Bold Plan

I have talked to Chip Flowers several times in the past at various political events.  He and I have made small talk, or discussed small-time political analysis.  After just a few minutes with him it is easy to see that he is a pretty nice guy.  However, if you spend another hour with him, a […]

Friday Open Thread

Friday Open Thread

TGIF! It looks like the wonderful spring-like sunny weather is not going to hold through the weekend, unfortunately. Let’s roll with the open thread. Democrats overwhelmingly want to pass the health care reform bill. I understand how they’re feeling, I’m sick of the delays. Roughly five out of six members of MoveOn favor passing the […]

Unicorns, Ponies, Rainbows, Oh My

From our beginnings in the 18th century, the United States of America has been the underdog in the international scene. Though our underdog status has left us long ago, the American people have a penchant for rooting for the underdog that is exemplified in rooting for sports teams and characters in Hollywood movies. Some Americas […]

Harry Reid Eats His Wheaties

Filed in National by on March 12, 2010 2 Comments

I’d like to start this post with a sincere wish for the rapid recovery of Harry Reid’s wife and daughter, who were in a serious car accident yesterday. Health care reform looks more certain to pass any day now. One hold-up has been the distrust between the House and the Senate. The Senate is now an almost completely dysfunctional body and the House is worried that the fixes to the health care bill will not see action. There are now at least 54 Senators on board with reconciliation for the sidecar bill containing fixes to the Senate bill and Harry Reid has sent a letter of notice to Mitch McConnell that Democrats are going to pursue reconciliation:

Mike Gave Us Quarters

Filed in Delaware by on March 11, 2010 27 Comments

You will remember when I first came to Delaware Liberal, my new compatriots were kind enough to allow me to bring over a logo I used on my old blog “Daily Delaware,” the one with the Caesar Rodney quarter. I did not learn until many months later that our illustrious founder Jason330 was kind of reluctant to do that, since Mike Castle was the author of the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act of 1997 that created the 50 State Quarter Program, and since Jason330 was Mike Castle’s mortal enemy. I was put in mind of that after reading the latest Kavips.

Tells

Last week Glenn Beck called on his cult like followers to investigate their church’s website to see if the word “social justice” anywhere. And if they found those words, they were instructed, nee ordered to leave their churches immediately. Because he says those words are code for Nazism and Communism. Yes, that’s right. Glenn Beck […]
