Budget Cuts
WGMD downstate is reporting that the Georgetown office of the Social Security Administration is cutting its public hours to 9 am to 3:30 p.m. I am sure some stupid teabagger will now start complaining about it.
Question of the Day
So who do think are the best Delaware legislators of the 2011 General Assembly session? The worst? Be specific here. It is not enough to say that you think Tony Deluca is an anti-progressive hack. You have to point to something specific, like the double dipping revelations during this session. And no, I didn’t just […]
Christine O’Donnell is who we thought she was.
David Sessions read the Christine O’Donnell so, for the love of God, we don’t have to. But you do have to read his whole Daily Beast column. As you will see, her whole book appears to be an exercise in denial.
Weekend Open Thread
“It was a wrong-headed move, made for all the wrong reasons, but it was mine.” — Failed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell (R), writing in Troublemaker that her now infamous “I am not a witch” campaign commercial was a disaster.
A GOP Debate at UDel?
That’s the rumor, from the back channel to the hive mind of the state GOP itself, Celia Cohen. Oh joy.
Too Good to be True
Oh how I love it when anti-gay Rethuglicans get caught with their pants down. Well, he didn’t exactly get caught with his pants down, but he did squeeze the Charmin.
Two Funny Things Happened to Me While in Europe
One was the London riot. The other was that the electronic ones and zeros representing my son’s electronic airline ticket blinked out of existence.
Dramatic Reading of the Drama Queen
On Tuesday, Christine O’Donnell’s new book will be on sale to peddle her lies and mis-characterizations. Among the reported lies in the book, Christine claims:
- Mike Castle and Joe Biden conspired to bring down her campaign
- She never approved the infamous “I am not a witch” ad
- She was a serious candidate
So Ken Grant has decided to ask the reality-based community to get together at the BBC Tavern on Tuesday evening for a happy hour and selected dramatic readings of Ms. O’Donnell’s …ummm… works.
Polling Fix
Some new poll results showing the Democrats taking a big lead in the generic congressional ballot question in two different polls, and showing Obama in a very good position in Colorado and North Carolina.
Friday Open Thread
Talk about your local, sometimes non-political news stories here, or talk about the political stories we aren’t talking about… yet.
Gold. Simply Gold.
Hat tip to Mike Matthews, who I suppose was searching for the very latest Christine O’Donnell-related items that he did not already own on that vandalized Amazon page we talked about earlier this week.
Another Hostage. Another Ransom
Really, what Discover is doing here is a small scale repeat of what the Republicans did during the debt ceiling crisis of their own making. Discover is took a hostage, and demanded money or else it would shoot that hostage. And the hostage was 900 Delaware jobs. I guess I should be angry at Levin and Markell for agreeing to the ransom, but at some point, when do we rise up with pitch forks and slay the evil corporations?
