Now the Tea Partiers Want Their Own Army

Filed in National by on April 13, 2010 14 Comments

I’m sorry, but no good can come of this. From the great conservative state of Oklahoma, site of the largest domestic terrorist attack in US history, we get this story about a Tea Party umbrella group that is looking to form an official, state-approved militia. The scariest part is that this is not just some crazy […]

This afternoon is the hearing in Dover about the Insurance Commissioner’s job performance. The hearing is supposed to cover the denial of coverage for stress tests for Delaware residents and the Captive Insurance Bureau but I imagine a lot of issues will arise in the hearing. I know that our very own liberalgeek plans on […]

What could possibly go wrong with this? A new Tea Party group, Armed Forces Tea Party Patriots, has grown quickly since being launched last month by an active duty Marine Corps sergeant. The group, which vows to “stand up on the very soil we defended to preserve common sense conservatism and defend our Constitution that […]

Another Tea Party Racist

Carl Paladino is a prominent Republican developer in Buffalo, New York. He’s a member of the Tea Party and has decided to run for governor. From Paladino’s own website: Mr. Paladino, 63, delivered a Palinesque populist message to a boisterous group of about 1,000 flag-waving supporters here, denouncing what he said was the government’s deepening […]

Wingnuts swung into full manufactured outrage when President Obama announced the terms of the new START treaty he signed with the Russians. (The media wasn’t too far behind — I heard alot of factually wrong BS about this agreement once it was announced.) But here’s Jon Stewart reminding everyone that even St. Ronnie announced a goal of a world of No Nukes and showing up the real ridiculousness of the manufactured outrage.

Mike Castle Is A Hypocrite, Part Eleventy Billion

Filed in National by on April 12, 2010 10 Comments

Unlike nemski, I like this new guy with the Coons campaign. He came out swinging today against Castle’s complete hypocrisy. Castle, who’s voted against providing jobs through stimulus and against unemployment benefits, is hosting a jobs fair. “Congressman Castle voted against job creation many times before deciding to hold another jobs fair,” said Coons Communications […]

Teapartiers Less Popular Than the IRS

This can’t be possible! That’s what you are thinking, right? Well, you would be wrong. Because a FOX Noise poll tells me so:

Facepalm of the Day

In today’s Delaware Dialog, there is a post by Ginger Gibson that I have two issues with. David Hoffman, new to the Chris Coon’s Senate campaign, had his laptop stolen . . . from his car on Concord Pike. Leaving your laptop in your car?! In my humble opinion this makes Hoffman too dumb to […]

Monday Open Thread

Filed in National by on April 12, 2010 20 Comments

*Sigh* It’s Monday. I wasn’t quite ready for the weekend to end, but the weekend is always too short. At least it’s time for your open thread, so that means your Monday is already half over! What’s on your mind? George Will admits that conservatives want activist judges. They want the right kind of activist […]

More 1Q Numbers

Filed in National by on April 12, 2010 13 Comments

Republican Glenn Urquhart, running for the GOP nomination for the open Congressional seat has announced fundraising numbers for 1Q of $512,000. $500,000 of that money comes from Mr. Urquhart himself. This number is certainly more impressive than Rose Izzo’s $700 fundraising number. Will Urquhart make a race of it with Michelle Rollins?

At Least He’s Consistent

Filed in National by on April 12, 2010 20 Comments

I’m not sure why National Review‘s John Derbyshire doesn’t get more attention from the blogosphere. He’s not as prominent as other conservatives but he is a fountain of misinformed cultural commentary. We talked about Derbyshire once before when he released a book and included a chapter about how women’s suffrage should be repealed. Derbyshire has […]
