Governor Markell Surveys the Political Landscape on CBS News
…and pretty much owns this interviewer. He talks about the Coons-Castle race at about the 5 minute mark and says nice things. The Gov is quite good at this kind of thing, I think — he needs a better questioner than this reporter tho. If you hang until the end, there is a piece on […]
This. Is. Awesome.
The Great DC Snowball Fight at DuPont Circle. Damn, I wish I was there. We did this on the Ellipse back when I was a student at GW. Click through for the video.
Weekend Open Thread
This is a trapped-inside-the-house-please-halp version of your weekend open thread. Anything else going on besides snow and snow removal? The 10 strangest pieces of unclaimed luggage: 1. Hoggle from Labyrinth. Unlike other items at the Unclaimed Baggage Center, Hoggle is not for sale. He is now a permanent part of the Unclaimed Baggage Center Museum. […]
SNOWGASM: Day After Tomorrow Movie Comes to Life
Look at these updated snowfall predictions from the National Weather Service: We will be approaching 30 inches here in New Castle County. Complete Apocalypse.
Things Are Tough All Over
Michael Steele and Harold Ford have a tour where they go around debating each other (don’t ask me why). During one of these appearances Michael Steele reflected on the plight of the common man: The two often traded jokes, especially when Steele panned President Barack Obama’s long-stated plan to let income tax rates return to […]
SNOWGASM DAY 2
Well the former thread is getting filled with comments and is getting buried, so here is a fresh thread. In this and I am sure newer threads, please post your anecdotes and pictures of the END OF THE WORLD, er ah, I mean the Blizzard of 2010.
Kos on Coons-Castle Race
Castle starts of this race as the favorite, but it’s a long 10 months before election day, and in politics, that’s an eternity. If Castle continues to vote lockstep with the obstructionist Republicans, Coons benefits. If Castle tries to be that “independent voice” he claims he is, he’ll raise the ire of the teabaggers and potentially fuel a real primary challenger.
Tea Party Racism
Former Republican presidential candidate and Congressman Tom Tancredo opened the Tea Party Nation convention. In his speech he said the U.S. had elected a “committed socialist ideologue” because “we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country.”
Pre-Snowgasm Open Thread
Well, it’s Friday and we’re all watching the skies waiting for the snow to start. I’m ready to dash out of here the minutes I start seeing snow flakes. I hope you all have bought your bread, milk and eggs so that you can make French toast during the storm – apparently that’s really important. So let’s open this thread.
USC Recruits 7th Grader
Via Gather: David Sills, a seventh-grader at Red Lion Christian Academy in Bear, Delaware has got a great arm and seems to know the game of football. Even his quarterback coach thinks he’s got big talent, but being recruited at the age of 13 seems a bit overkill. Lane Kiffin, the new coach at USC […]
I Didn’t Elect President Shelby
WTF!?!? Is Senator Richard Shelby out to prove that the Senate is completely dysfunctional and that Republicans are full of sh*t? Sen. Shelby has placed a blanket hold on ALL of Obama’s nominations: Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL) has put an extraordinary “blanket hold” on at least 70 nominations President Obama has sent to the Senate, […]
