In a bolt out of the blue, Jason called me today and asked me to put up a podcast that he and Donviti put together on a variety of subjects. It’s like cats and dogs sleeping together.

Here are the “tags” that Jason asked me to include in the post (verbatim):

Megan McArdle of the Atlantic has a revealing question: Can someone explain to me–hopefully using graphs, and small words–why Joe Lieberman is willing to share the precious blessing of American citizenship with Charles Manson, Gary Ridgeway, and David Berkowitz, but wants citizenship stripped from a guy who strapped some firecrackers to a bag of non-explosive […]

Allow me to be the first to extend my congratulations to Monsignor Lavelle and Rep. Kovach. Yesterday, they earned the distinction of  being the only ones opposing legislation to enable victims of abuse by healthcare providers (Read: Br. Bradley) to file civil suits any time after the incident(s) occurred. Dave Wilson and Dan Short went […]

Teabaggers’ Delicate Feelings

Apparently teabaggers are up in arms because of a 2-month-old quote by president Obama where he used the term “teabaggers.” Jake Tapper gives us the quote in question: Three days after he decried the lack of civility in American politics, President Obama is quoted in a new book about his presidency referring to the Tea […]

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Or as Arizona Republicans like to call it… Kristallnacht. Yeah, it would be a bad joke, but I am not joking.

Can We Blame Dick Cheney for the Oil Spill?

Filed in National by on May 5, 2010 3 Comments

According to William Galston of The New Republic, we just might be able to pin a good bit of the blame for the Deepwater Horizon spill on our illustrious…no, that’s not the word I’m looking for…despicable former Vice President.

Delaware General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 4, 2010

Filed in National by on May 4, 2010 2 Comments

Despite some last-minute games, including a possible ‘turfing’ attempt by an alleged grassroots group which was really an industry effort in disguise, Delaware’s comprehensive universal recycling bill passed in the Senate. Three senators voted no. As usual, the posted Senate roll call does not reveal which three. Seriously, isn’t about time for the newly-reconstituted Common […]

So let me get this straight…. Republicans are for taking away the basic rights of an American citizen… and the Teabaggers believe that President Obama is the one that is fascist. That is some damn good PR.
