Legislative Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Wed., March 24, 2010
Looks like they must’ve installed some new, even more compelling, solitaire games on the Legislative Council computers. How else can you explain that yesterday’s session report cites activity going back to at least June of 2009 as new action effective yesterday? Perhaps the porn filter was on the fritz? With that caveat, here is yesterday’s […]
Michelle Rollins Speaks
Thanks to commenter John Manifold for pointing us to this post at Delaware Grapevine. Sussex County Republicans celebrated a belated Lincoln Day event and Michelle Rollins was one of the featured speakers. She sounds like she’s going to run: “Four score and seven days ago, I awoke with a dread that said I can throw […]
The Republican Party Works for Fox News
…..so says David Frum goes way past my argument that Republicans govern based on what looks good for Fox News (and how much money they send to their friends). Watch:
Tea Party Nation’s Master Plan to Repeal HCR
Look what landed in my email box: Tea Party Nation A message to all members of Tea Party Nation Now we fight!!! Over the last few days, you have heard very little from Tea Party Nation on the Socialist Health Care vote. This was by design. We had little more to offer than other patriot […]
Senate Republicans Find More Ways Not To Work (While Still Being Paid)
They really are big babies. There is a little-known rule in the Senate stating that hearings can’t happen after 2:00 p.m. each day without unanimous consent. However, every day, at the start of business, the Senate generally agrees, by unanimous consent, to waive this rule and continue with the necessary business of holding hearings. Here […]
Chris Coons’ Statement on Signing of HCR
Got this via one of our loyal readers:(I still don’t get any correspondence from the Coons campaign even though I’ve signed up for it.):
Congress made history Sunday night, adopting landmark health care reform critical for our nation’s economic future and the well being of its citizens.
It’s great news for the more than 100,000 Delaware residents who are uninsured and the 70,000 Delaware residents who will qualify for tax credits to help them afford the health insurance they need.
The bill passed Sunday night will also give 140,000 Delaware seniors access to free preventive care while lowering prescription drug costs for 25,000 seniors on a fixed income.
New Poll Shows Big Swing In Opinion On Health Care Reform
As expected, nothing brings success like success. Right now, most people are just starting to hear about the good provisions of the bill and not the horserace. Americans by 9 percentage points have a favorable view of the health care overhaul that President Obama signed into law Tuesday, a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll finds, a notable […]
HCR 2010 = WMD 2002
Anyone who’s been around this site lately should recognize the title of this post. It’s the little signature that commenter anonone has been putting at the end of his comments. Well, I’ve been thinking about this a bit (no, I don’t have anything better to do — thanks for asking) and I’ve decided that he […]
Tuesday Open Thread
Welcome to the first official day of our Socialist Nightmare. President Obama signed the health care reform bill today and the Senate also begins debate the reconciliation sidecar bill. So, are you ready for an open thread? Chris Matthews owes Rep. Alan Grayson an apology. In January, Chris Matthews dismissed the scoop given to him […]
President Obama Signing HCR
It happens today at 11:15AM. So go get your celebratory beverage, send your boss on a wild goose chase and watch.
If you can watch it, here are some online streaming options:
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show-Tues., March 23, 2010
Before I preview today’s session, I simply HAVE to feature House Concurrent Resolution #28, introduced by the most bat-shit crazy of the House & Senate Rethuglican Caucus. Note the moderate tone this resolution strikes: URGING THE 111TH CONGRESS TO ABANDON THE IRRATIONAL PURSUIT OF A FISCALLY IRRESPONSIBLE FEDERAL HEALTHCARE ENTITLEMENT PLAN AND ENACT LESS COSTLY […]
Obama’s Leadership Style
Andrew Sullivan wrote a column about Obama and his leadership style that hits things right on the mark. Obama has bet that this is his destiny. He is extremely cautious from day to day, staggeringly flexible on tactics, but not at all modest when you look at the big picture. He still wants to rebuild […]
How Will We Tell The Difference?
Republicans are grumpy: GOP senators emerged Monday to caution that the health debate had taken a toll on the institution, warning of little work between parties the rest of this year. “There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year,” McCain said during an interview Monday on an Arizona radio affiliate. “They have […]
