General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., June 3, 2010
Good news. Rep. Barbieri’s bill reintroducing discretion to the reporting of incidents on school property sailed through the Senate yesterday. Which brings up an interesting point. While the Senate as a body could hardly be considered progressive, it tends to vote progressive more consistently than the House. Why? I think it’s b/c the D’s are […]
Urquhart Goes On Godwin Overload
GOP Congressional hopeful Glenn Urquhart cites Adolf Hitler as the source of separation of church and state.
McGlinchey’s At It Again-One of His Flunkies Primarying Jaques
The Man Who Would Be Party Chair continues to amaze. Instead of being chastened by having to withdraw his challenge to Party Chair Daniello, Brian McGlinchey has ginned up yet another challenge to Dem. Rep. Earl Jaques. You will recall that, in 2008, Jaques had to fend off not only Rep. Vince Lofink, he had […]
C’mon Delaware… Listen Up!
Didn’t I just post one of these? Check it out! Today’s installment is truncated (some might say “mercifully truncated”) due to technical difficulties. Tags: Matt Denn in a Wawa. Michael Castle, Joe Biden, ASM, Brian Selander, DelawareLiberal, Dave Burris. Enjoy!
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wed., June 2, 2010
The General Assembly had its collective working shoes on yesterday, with some interesting bills sailing right through, and some intriguing bills being introduced. I admit that I was surprised at some of the results. For example, in the House, Rep. Keeley’s bill having inmates counted at their last known residence instead of their prison address […]
Castle’s Ear(mark)s Are Burning
Representative Mike Castle’s hypocrisy is coming full circle. The News Journal has an indepth article simply entitled, “This Year Castle Opposes Earmarks”.
Time To Rethink Party Switches?
Two prominent party switchers have gone down to defeat in this election cycle. Republican turned Democrat Arlen Specter was upset by Joe Sestak in the PA-Sen primary and last night Democrat turned Republican Parker Griffith was defeated in the AL-05 Republican primary by Mo Brooks (decisively enough in a 3-way race that no runoff will be needed).
Shocker: Al & Tipper Gore Are Separating
Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage. Best wishes to the Gores. Forty years is a long time and I hope they are able to work things out.
Misery Business
Damn, haters all around. Obama supporters always knew things would be bad with all of the right-wings’ hate and anger, but this past Memorial Day is just an argument to far.
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, June 1, 2010
The decision to delay consideration of casino expansion in Delaware until next session has removed the biggest wild card remaining on the General Assembly’s docket. With modestly-improving revenue forecasts, it looks like a relatively pro-forma denouement for the legislature this year. No doubt the House Rethugs will cry some more about not being appreciated, which […]
The Full Plate
In addition to the disaster in the Gulf, international relations have deteriorated recently between North and South Korea and between Israel and Turkey.
