Bombs Are Free, So “Bomb” the Libraries
We all know that bombs are free. In the age of teabaggery, we also know that EVERYTHING other than military action is prohibitively expensive.

Comment Rescue: What’s The Strategy Kenneth?
Geezer said, “Given the turnout in Delaware, perhaps liberals should persuade O’Donnell-style nutcases to run in every election, if only to drive Democratic turnout.”

North Korea (Not China) To Invade America in Red Dawn Remake
So as not to needlessly antagonize our Chinese overlords, the already shot remake of “Red Dawn” is being touched up in editing to remove China as the menace to American liberty and sovereignty.

Jack Markell To Deliver 2012 Democratic National Convention Keynote

And who knows, if he added something about REALLY sharing the pain with our wealthiest individuals and corporations, maybe he could parlay that speech into the 2016 Democratic nomination?
But seriously folks…I kid…. raising taxes on Delaware’s wealthiest individuals and corporations, even by 1 measly percent, is utterly impossible.

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 16, 2011
The return of the Solomonic solons to Dover apparently took Legislative Council by surprise. Either that, or there were some new, very exciting, solitaire games uploaded to their computers. The supposed information and research arm of the General Assembly provides this detailed snapshot of what went on yesterday. That’s right, in legislative time, according to […]
