WGMD Web Site’s Psycho Rant
Apparently this Bill Colley guy works for WGMD in some capacity. If that is true, they might want to install a metal detector at the door, and make sure all the kitchen knives are removed from the break room. I’ve read the work of wingnuts on the edge, but he sounds like a guy who […]
Science Fact Catches Up to Science Fiction As We Speak
By the time you read this a scientist somewhere will have pulled some wild ass shit out of the magic hat of science. When you scanned the words “magic hat” just now, some scientist just invented a robot rendering magic hats so obso-fucking-leet that it gives me the chills. Sure, America is falling behind in […]
Friday Open Thread
The Governor honors Lt. Szczerba in his weekly message. Meanwhile House Republicans last night passed a government funding bill that pays for new disaster aid with partisan budget cuts. The bill now is dead in the Senate. From yesterday you recall Boehner had three choices. He chose option three.

News-Journal Exposes General Assembly Pension Scam…More To Follow
Every couple of years, retired state employees get something like a 2% pension increase. If they’re lucky. If there’s money for it. If the legislators are in a giving mood. However, for a not-particularly small, but select, group of state legislators, a pension windfall is realized whenever certain veteran legislators retire or, in the case of the ethically-compromised Terry Spence, are defeated.

Assuming Governor Markell, Lt. Governor Denn, Senator Carper and Congressman Carney win reelection next year, and assuming Attorney General Biden wins a third term in 2014 and Senator Coons and State Treasurer Chip Flowers win reelection to their respective offices in 2014, it sets up 2016 as an interesting year for possible confrontation and primaries among the deep Democratic statewide lineup.
