What Goes Around Comes Around [The DE GOP Civil War]
Burris is complaining about the “attack the messenger” politics of Christine O’Donnell. The problem is Burris has practiced this exact kind of politics for years. It is the kind of politics that defines both the Delaware and national Republican Parties. So what goes around, goes around.
Mike Castle In Trouble Is Going Mainstream
Fox News writes about the Coons-Castle match-up in Delaware and declares it a sleeper race.
Asshat of the Day (For Wednesday)
It’s a day late because I and many others were celebrating the overturning of Proposition 8 in California. Without a doubt, yesterday’s winner is Dan Maes (Teabag – Colorado) for all of his talk about the evils of bike riding. Seems that a program to get people out of their cars and on to bikes […]

The Facts
It is time for the right wing to realize they have lost not only this battle, but this war. Sure, the appeal process is not done, and yes, the Supreme Court could overturn this, but that will only be the last gasp of bitter bigoted conservatives who currently populate the Court.

Ugh, Brett Favre
I think I probably wrote a story with the exact same title about a year ago. Brett Favre is un-un-retiring now but denies he said he was going to retire. But he still may retire. It depends. A day after reports surfaced that Brett Favre had begun telling the Minnesota Vikings he was planning to […]
Disparity Between Drug Sentences Reduced
For decades, it was a sign of unfairness at best, or racism at worst. Under a 1986 law, a person convicted of possessing five grams of crack cocaine got the same mandatory prison sentence as someone with 500 grams of powder cocaine, 100 times more. And of course, those using powder cocaine in the mid to late 1980’s were often rich and/or white, and those using crack cocaine in the mid to late 1980’s were often poor and/or black.
