Cheney in Hospital….Again
Former Vice President Dick Cheney was hospitalized yesterday afternoon after “experiencing discomfort,” according to the AP. Yo, Dick, that discomfort is called your conscience. It’s unknown is Cheney’s condition if related to his long history of heart issues (he was hospitalized in February for a fifth “mild” heart attack), but Cheney’s spokesman said the 69-year-old […]
Late Night Video: Truth In Advertising
Clint Webb for Senate – the truest fake campaign commercial ever.
So..okay, yeah…I get it… Part 1 – The Republicans
I’m back to blogging a little bit I guess. I’ve got my Obama REVEAL theory and my little podcast with Donviti. I’ve got a call out to Tom Kovach, maybe he’ll call me back – maybe not. Whatever. But the thing I’ve got most of all…the thing that matters…is that I’ve got this clear sense […]
Delaware Finally Ratifies 17th Amendment [Who Knew]

C’mon Delaware – Episode 9 Teaser
I actually did get a speeding ticket last night, so I imagine we’ll talk about that. Also, probably the cell phone ban, which according to DelawarePolitics.net is simply the worst thing ever.
A Video Dump
I love crowd reaction shots of important moments at sporting events. And I love weather videos. And since it took me 3 hours to get out of Philadelphia this evening (it seriously looks like a tornado plowed through South Philadelphia, trees down everywhere, roads impassable, roofs blown off), I decided to post some reaction videos […]
General Assembly Update / Thursday June 24, 2010
Our General Assembly Expert, El Somnabulo, got called away unexpectedly, so you all are stuck with me today. First and foremost, as reported in the comments to the Book Burning post, SB 293 was defeated in committee yesterday. The theocrats and fascists will have to move to Texas if they want to someone else to do the indoctrinating of their children.
