Later Night Video — Corporations Pay Less Taxes Than YOU, Yeah YOU
Van Jones posted this depressingly funny video to his Facebook page today:
Rich Famous Guy Enjoys Fame & Wealth

General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., Apr. 14, 2011
The Senate passed SB 41 (Hall-Long), which would increase members of the New Castle County Board of Adjustment from 7 to 13 to reflect the number of councilmanic districts, and to require that each district have a member. I understand the intent of the bill. However, is it really in the public’s interest to have a Board of Adjustment that mirrors this less-than-august body?

Those Fickle Independent Voters
Polls show that Congressional Republicans are not popular and that if the elections were held today, Democrats would retake the House.
Delaware Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 13. 2011
Time to call the Diminutive Despot’s bluff. Tony DeLuca’s SB 50, which would putatively open the entire Senate redistricting process to the public, passed unanimously in the Senate. It was a cheap and free vote. Unless…the House Speaker, (a) recognizing the sincerity of the Napoleonic Martinet, with which he has plenty of first-hand experience; and […]
