Wednesday Open Thread
Did you ever have the feeling that half the week has gone with you even noticing? That’s the feeling I’m having this week. It’s already Wednesday! So, are you ready for an open thread? The short, pain-filled life of King Tutankhamun: King Tutankhamun, the boy pharaoh, was frail, crippled and suffered “multiple disorders” when he […]
Castling
[Ed. note – cassandra_m contributed considerably to this post.] 2009 presented quite a dilemma for Mike Castle. The Republican party required obedience from all its members for their policy of no to succeed, but Mike Castle needed to keep his moderate credentials for his voters in Delaware, a blue state. Mike Castle knew what he […]
Climate Change = Weird Weather
Funny how last weeks snow storms were all the rage on Right blogs while not a word was uttered concerning the unseasonably warm weather in Vancouver. Typically Republican. And while I think Thomas Friedman’s NYT Op-Ed is a step in the right direction I doubt it will change any minds on the Right – mainly […]
Sabotage Fail
When Evan Bayh announced his retirement, it suddenly put a fringe Democratic candidate Tamyra d’Ippolito into the spotlight. In Indiana to qualify to be on the ballot, you need to gather 500 signatures from each of Indiana’s 9 Congressional districts. On the Democratic side, only Evan Bayh had qualified. On the Republican side, there are […]
Evan Bayh is Full of It
After Evan Bayh announced his retirement yesterday, this is the soundbite (or at least portions of it) that I heard for the rest of the day (and this morning too): “Two weeks ago, the Senate voted down a bipartisan commission to deal with one of the greatest threats facing our nation: our exploding deficits and […]
A Note to the Media (and Comment Rescue)
a. price (one of our favorite commenters) points us to a link over at CBS News, where we find a journalist named Stephanie Condon who seems to be actually trolling freakin’ FACEBOOK to have something exciting to report about the Quitta from Wasilla, Sarah Palin. Facebook, people. This is what our highly paid news media […]
Mike Castle Flip Flops on Stimulus Funds
Flip Flop. Anybody remember when you couldn’t fire up the news without hearing this about John Kerry? And even though that charge was mostly untrue about Kerry, Flip Flop is a good description of Mike Castle’s position towards Delaware stimulus projects. He votes against them, then shows up to take credit for them. He put […]
It Was Only A Matter Of Time
Before we started seeing this: Out of curiosity, on what grounds would one impeach Obama? Also, love the fact that the sponsors remained anonymous. Cowards.
Tuesday Open Thread
Welcome to another snow day Tuesday! Even though we only got a dusting last night, it was enough to make the commute a nightmare this morning. So, what’s on your mind? Let’s get started. One story that has been fascinating me lately is the story of Amy Bishop, the Harvard-trained Ph.D. biologists who shot 6 […]
Free Advice For Chris Coons, Part 2
Like we discussed yesterday, we at Delaware Liberal are offering absolutely free advice to Chris Coons in his Senate run against Mike Castle. Unlike a lot of people, I believe Castle is beatable. In fact, I think Coons could be in a great position if he plays his cards right. Castle is the de facto […]
Snow Days
I drove my daughter to school this morning and the entire time I was thinking… why are schools open? For while the main roads are clear the side roads are a rutted mess of ice which turned my normally 10 minute round-trip into a harrowing 35 minute keep-my-wits-about-me experience. There’s no doubt about it. The […]
Health Care Summit: Make ‘Em Put Up Or Shut Up
The Obama administration may finally be learning how to deal with Congress. Obama has proposed a bipartisan health care summit for February 25, basically answering the critics who have said the process has not been transparent enough. Jonathan Cohn and others noticed some interesting passages in the invitation: It came when President Obama issued his […]
