Weekend Open Thread
Yeah, it has been a slow couple of days around here. It’s the dog days of August, what can I say. Next weekend we have the Jamboree, so we have that to look forward to. Will Joltin Joe Biden be back from China in time to make an appearance?
Conservatives Now Calling Chrissie-Pooh Out
Brent Bozell has come out to say that conservatives shouldn’t be wasting their time defending COD. Bozell, who is president of the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog organization, said in a column on CNN.com that COD’s reaction to the questions posed by Piers Morgan was “downright bizarre.”
Friday Open Thread
It is Delaware Liberal’s fault that every time I think of Friday, I think of Bacon.
David Plouffe I’m Calling You Out
David Plouffe I’m Calling You Out. (I guess it is my week for calling M’effers out)
The News Journal will be late today….
….they say it’s something about storms and lightning, massive flooding. Pfft. Excuses excuses.
We all have our roles to play.
The old Delaware Dem, back in the olden days of Daily Kos, would think that Progressives should be happy with that and would fire off a bombastic diary at any hint of dissention on the left in voice or deed. I guess that was because I felt we on the left should be a nice big happy liberal-Democratic-progressive family, all united on the same team, especially when the only other team in town is a bunch of literally evil theocratic fascists. Indeed, back in the olden days, I started and sustained many a flame war on the Great Orange Satan over this doctrine of SYFPH (Shut your fucking pie hole).
The new me doesn’t care. Be miserable if you want. Blast Obama day in and day out for his failures to give you the pony you wanted, or for failing to give you the right model pony you want. Because the ponies you are crying for is Social Security, or Medicare, or progressive and fair taxation, better schools, single payer universal healthcare, equal rights, ending unnecessary wars of choice, and so on and so on.
My point is that we all have our roles to play. I have slowly but finally realized that over the last few years.
Thursday Open Thread
President Obama has been away from the White House or at Camp David for 70 days during his Presidency. At this same point in his first term, George W. Bush was away for 225 days. We all know which is worst.
Tom Waits Meets Cookie Monster
I’ll just let this speak for itself: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5X4N2exOsU&t[/youtube] You’re welcome.
Would this happen here?
Japanese citizens have shown incredible honesty in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami that brought the country to its knees. It emerged yesterday that the Japanese returned almost $78million in cash found in the quake rubble.
The GOP Establishment is Freaking the F*ck Out.
Bachmann and Perry are trouncing Romney in the polls. That’s why we are hearing about Christie and Ryan (who both are still denying they will run). Eventually, though, the GOP will come to accept what has to happen: the crazies have to have their turn at the wheel. And only after the GOP car has been driven off the cliff can the GOP credibly say to them that crazy doesn’t win elections.
O’Donnell Walks Off Set of Piers Morgan
Christine O’Donnell walked off the set of her interview with Piers Morgan after he probed her on the topics of witchcraft and gay marriage.
Question of the Day
Has Mike Matthews purchased his copy of Troublemaker yet, and if so, was the first thing he did was to flip to the index to see if he was mentioned?
Wednesday Open Thread
Ah, Hump Day. You’re at the mid point of the week now. All down hill until the weekend. So a law firm is moving into a new building that will feature a 1,500 gallon shark tank, which will hold three sharks. No mistaking that message.
