Democrats Seem To Be Mustering Some PR Game
Carney just tweeted: JohnCarneyDE Rep. John Carney by DelDems Compromise is essential to governing. There is no reason to force a govt shutdown — esp. when our economy is recovering and creating jobs. Since this impasse is 100% the fault of idiotic Republican zealots who want to defund Planned Parenthood, the Democrats finally have a […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., Apr. 7, 2011
Today could be the day. Sen. Dave Sokola has placed SB 30, which legalizes civil unions, on today’s Senate agenda. That likely means that he has the votes for SB 30 to pass. Sen. Bob Venables (D-Mars) has introduced two last-ditch amendments to try to stop the inevitable march of history. One would require a […]

Woman Who Attacked My Favorite Gauguin Painting Hates Homos
I know that having “Two Tahitian Women” as one’s favorite Gauguin panting is like having “Starry Night” as one’s favorite Van Gogh painting, or “Water Lilies” as your favorite Monet painting, but some visual cliches are visual cliches because THEY ARE AWESOME!! AMIRIGHT?

Donald Ayotte, the Teabagger from downstate seeking to Teabag the entire GOP, has withdrawn from the GOP Chairman race, opting instead to run for the Vice Chairman’s job.

Jennifer Moses is conflicted. All of which brings me to a question: Why do so many of us not only permit our teenage daughters to dress like this—like prostitutes, if we’re being honest with ourselves—but pay for them to do it with our AmEx cards? Gee, I don’t know, Jennifer. Why are you okay with […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 6, 2011
Perhaps the greatest thing about this blogging gig is that I get to wallow in self-indulgence. (However, not as much as Matt Denn does. Before I die, I want to write one sentence at least as funny as “I am confident that I am the only Lieutenant Governor in America who has had to utter […]
