Wednesday Open Thread
Welcome to a regular Wednesday in summer. What, it’s not summer you say? It certainly feels like it. My husband and I waited until 8 PM last night to go running because we were hoping it would cool off some. It didn’t. It was still 80 when we finished the run around 9 PM. So, […]
Why We Like and Dislike Celia Cohen
It is our fault here at Delaware Liberal that we missed this little tidbit until now. But it is because of the reasons we dislike Celia Cohen that we missed out on what we sometimes like about her: an insidery and unintended reveal. The reveal this time? Sussex County Republicans, with Tom Ross and Michele Rollins in attendance, embrace birtherism.
McDonnell: Slavery Wasn’t Significant
You’ve probably already heard that Virginia proclaimed the month of April as “Confederate History Month” but have you read the actual proclamation? WHEREAS, April is the month in which the people of Virginia joined the Confederate States of America in a four year war between the states for independence that concluded at Appomattox Courthouse; and […]
Tornoe’s Toon: McNabb Gets the Boot
As a Buffalo Bills fan (start laughing now) I was hoping that the Bills would muster up enough strength to trade for McNabb. I don’t understand the logic in trading your franchise player to a divisional opponent while simultaneously giving the keys to the car to a guy who’s only driven it twice. One thing […]
Delaware IC To Hold Secret Meeting Until Outed by the CRI
CRI puts up a blog post breaking what looks like news about a secret meeting that the IC is now having on the morning of 13 April. (13 April at 1 PM is when there is a Joint House and Senate committee meeting to discuss insurance issues.):
Anti Health Care Reform Activist Arrested For Death Threats
Those tea partiers are just regular folks and when people accuse them of inciting violence they’re liar, right? Maybe not. Federal prosecutors have charged a Washington state man, Charles Alan Wilson, with repeatedly making threatening calls to Sen. Patty Murray’s Seattle office, threatening to kill her because of her support for the health care bill. […]
Mike Castle Announces Support For Health Care Repeal Efforts
Mike Castle tries to be all things to all people. His carefully worded statement about health care reform repeal fooled the News Journal editorial board into praising his sensible stance. “While this president is in office, repealing this full law is not realistic and not the best use of our efforts,” Castle said in a […]
H1N1 VS Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina
Via Bloomberg: Swine flu is refusing to give up its hold on U.S. states with low vaccination rates, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Only Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina — states where the share of immunized population was among the country’s lowest — reported outbreaks last week that spread beyond a single […]
Tuesday Open Thread
Welcome to Tuesday, the day after the Duke-pocalypse. Everyone’s least favorite college basketball team won the NCAA championship tonight. So, is anything else on your mind? Tell us in today’s open thread. The loneliest KKK member: This Saturday, the Church of the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan — a once-powerful organization that in […]
The Young Eagles & Mike Castle
Commenter anonone points us to this link from Politico. The article explains what the Young Eagles program is supposed to do and how it works. The program is supposed to encourage younger rich Republicans to become high dollar donors to the RNC. What it actually does is function as a way for the RNC to […]
So We’re Not Going to Hell in a Handbasket
Ask any parent out there how things are going and they’d probably tell you that life seems very frantic as they try to juggle parenting, jobs and household chores. Ask these same parents if they are spending enough time with their kids, and the answer would probably be, “No!” Well that parent would be wrong. […]
For once, I agree with David Anderson.
HB 198 is Delaware’s component legislation in a national effort to eliminate the electoral college. The measure who allocate Delaware’s electoral votes (as well as all other state’s electoral votes) to the winner of the popular vote, no matter who Delaware voters actually vote for. Basically, it is an end run around the Constitutionally established Electoral College, which would require a Constitutional Amendment to change or abolish, which is exceedingly difficult, and David is probably right that this national effort will not and does not pass constitutional muster.
