2010: The Year They Go Even More Insane?
You gotta love the Republicans. And by Republicans, I am talking about their idiotic birther teabagger deather base, and not necessarily elected Republican officials (although certain elected officials like Palin and Bachmann certainly fit the former and the latter). They all, to the last man and woman, think they are going to win back Congress […]
Joe Biden’s Mother Seriously Ill
I don’t know any more than this story: Vice President Joe Biden’s mother Catherine Eugenia “Jean” Biden, 92, has taken seriously ill in recent days, prompting the Vice President and his family to travel to Wilmington, Delaware, where they have gathered around her bedside. Mrs. Biden, whose husband Joseph Biden Sr. died in 2002, was […]
American Enterprise Institute: Stimulus Worked!
Republican politician have been running around bashing Obama’s stimulus plan for a while now. Meanwhile, the economy has slowly been recovering from Bush’s FUBAR economic policies. Even the conservative American Enterprise Institute agrees that the stimulus worked: AEI has its economic outlook, by John Makin. Notice anything strange here? We can expect 2010 to be […]
Exceptional Teachers
I must be a glutton for punishment, but I can’t ignore this article Cassandra linked to last night. Go read the whole thing. Here is what jumped out at me. As Teach for America began to identify exceptional teachers using this data, Farr began to watch them. He observed their classes, read their lesson plans, […]
Thursday Open Thread
It’s Thursday and it’s open thread time. Where did I put my needle? The good Chris Matthews was out yesterday and he asked a Republican strategist a trick question – what have Republicans done for us in the last 20 years? It didn’t seem like an unreasonable question. Harris’ goal was to make the case […]
Unacceptable.
On pretty much every front, really. And that is the most family friendly title I could come up with.
If you haven’t seen the NJ article this AM recounting some of the history of the despicable Dr. Bradley, then do yourself a favor. People with blood pressure issues should be forewarned. But this is a just a horror show on pretty much every front:
Bulo’s Music for the Masses-R. I. P. Willie Mitchell
Acclaimed music producer, performer, and musician Willie Mitchell passed away yesterday at the age of 82. He created a singular soul sound at Hi Records, with a superb group of house musicians, that propelled Al Green to stardom and produced some of the finest soul music of the 70’s from artists like Ann Peebles, O. […]
Not Quite There Yet
U.S. officials realized that underpants bomber Abdulmutallab was a risk after he was on the flight: U.S. border security officials learned of the alleged extremist links of the suspect in the Christmas Day jetliner bombing attempt as he was airborne from Amsterdam to Detroit and had decided to question him when he landed, officials disclosed […]
Role Model
Bristol Palin proves that Sarah Palin is not the only Palin who’s ready to cash in. As a part of the completely logical choice of having the mother of a 1-year-old child be the spokeswoman for abstinence-only education, Bristol Palin is opening a public relations firm. Bristol Palin, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter, has […]
The Good News and the Bad News of Senator Dodd’s Retirement
The Good:
With AG Blumenthal in, this seat is definitely safer for Democrats. Public Policy Polling had a poll in the field this week and the results are quite good for Blumenthal:
Rep. Thornburg Also Retiring, According to Celia
This is also really big news from Celia Cohen. Rep. Pam Thornburg (R-Dover West) also announced her retirement at the same Caucus meeting where Bill Oberle announced his. She will become administrator of the Delaware Farm Bureau, a position from which she will no doubt lobby her former colleagues. This is huge b/c Thornburg barely […]
The Best (or Worst) or 2009
