The Teabugger Justification, For What It’s Worth
Supposedly, this is what the teabuggers were up to. I don’t believe it, because it doesn’t make any sense. Mystery solved? NBC is reporting that James O’Keefe and his three companions were carrying out a plan to gauge how the staff of Sen. Mary Landrieu would respond if their office phone system were disabled, following […]
Coons is Running for Senate
We have it from several sources that New Castle County Executive Christopher Coons announced at a State of the Union watch party last night that he is indeed running for Senate against Castle. Now, in order of preference, Coons is my third choice after Biden and Denn. But at least he is a credible Democrat […]

Chris Matthews – The New Harry Reid?
One of the biggest WTF moments of the night was Chris Matthews reaction to Obama’s speech. Chris Matthews offered a strange analysis of President Obama’s State of the Union address on MSNBC: “I forgot he was black tonight.” “I was trying to think about who he was tonight, and it’s interesting,” Matthews said. “He is […]
Justice Alito – The New Joe Wilson
Now we know why the Supreme Court doesn’t want cameras in the chamber. Alito shakes heading, mouthing “not true,” as Obama says recent Supreme Court decision will let lobbyists and corporations own our elections. Highly inappropriate for Alito to do this. You’ll notice the Sup Ct doesn’t even clap when the president enters. They are […]

Pregnant Woman Ordered (Yes, Ordered!) To Bed Rest
It boggles the mind. Via Dkos: Ms. Burton is pregnant. She has two children and in her current pregnancy she is at risk of a miscarriage. She was admitted to the hospital in Florida where her doctors advised bed rest as well until a C-section could be performed. They also insisted that she quit smoking […]
Wednesday Open Thread
It’s Wednesday, Hump Day! Tonight is Obama’s 1st SOTU address and we’ll have coverage (liveblog, I think) of the address right here on Delaware Liberal. Stay tuned! All right, let’s open this thread.

Legislative Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wed., Jan. 27, 2010
POST-GAME WRAPUP: Lotsa brand new bills and brand new committee assignments for them. I’ll discuss the ones I find interesting (and/or worrisome) in my Pre-Game Show report below. As noted here yesterday, the Senate considered and passed a series of non-controversial house bills. Perhaps the most notable of the lot is HB 249 (Keeley), which […]
Liveblogging the State of the Union Speech
Tonight, President Obama will give his State of the Union speech (hint, he will say that the state of the union is strong…). As usual, we will be liveblogging the speech starting at 8PM. The speech is given this year as the reverberations of the Massachusetts special election are still being felt, Haiti has moved from search-and-rescue to recovery-and-burial, healthcare reform has moved from “possible in our time” to “cross your fingers”, Iraq is winding down while Afghanistan is ramping up and our economy has stopped falling and is poised for a recovery.
So stop by at 8 and you will see our link for the liveblog application. And as always, it is BYOB.
