Filed in National by on May 12, 2010 12 Comments

Only the absence of Monsignor Lavelle (who might’ve been laying low following the release of the Bradley Report, since he was one of only two legislators opposing a longer statute of limitations on civil suits against pedophile pediatricians) dampened the atmosphere for the passage of universal recycling legislation yesterday by a 26-12 vote.

Filed in National by on May 11, 2010 18 Comments

I guess because his first name starts with the letter “G” too, or something. But Bill Colley speaking for God is not the story. The story is that WGMD talkshow host and blogger Bill Colley apparently is now a bought and paid for shill for the Glenn Urquhart campaign.

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show Plus RANT: Tues., May 11, 2010

Filed in Delaware, National by on May 11, 2010 4 Comments

Not that it’s hard to do, but today I will demonstrate the sheer cravenness of politicians, especially, but not exclusively, legislators. J. L. Miller wrote an excellent article in yesterday’s News-Journal about the ‘one size fits all’ Scarlet Letter of the online sex offender registry, especially as it applies to minors. I have  previously written […]
