Perry Campaign Death Rattle?
I still think Perry will end up as the GOP’s “Not Romney” but this is a horrible development for the Perry campaign.
John Sigler Gives DE GOP Imprimatur to Sussex County Racist Gathering: Part III – The Stonewalling Continues
– Seven days have passed since Bill Colley posted a racist screed on the WGMD web site stating that the Mother of the President of the United States had sex with African “savages” to “civilize” them. [The racist rant is still posted on the WGMD web site, and has since been cross posted on an Aryan Nation web site.]
– Five days have passed since DE GOP chair John Sigler was informed that Bill Colley jocularly tweeted that the event would include burning homosexuals and lynching blacks.
– Four days have passed since Sigler…
90% of Life is Just Showing Up.
Last night, we had a great turnout at the PDD event for Sen. Coons. Unfortunately, at the same time, an important meeting was taking place down in Dover. The Public Service Commision was holding a hearing on Bloom Energy’s plan for turning the old Chrysler plant into a factory making fuel cells and “Bloom Boxes.” The hearing also concerned Delmarva’s plans to place two clusters of Bloom Boxes on two sites in New Castle County adjacent to Delmarva electrical substaions. These clusters themselves will generate approximately 30 megawatts of power for the electrical grid, which is enough to power approximately 25,000 homes.
And guess what? The hearing room was filled with 9/12 Teabaggers, who all probably said Bloom Boxes were Boxes full of Socialism, or some such tripe, and that global warming is a hoax, and they we should drill baby drill off Rehoboth. Yes, that is what our public officials on the Commissions heard last night. The News Journal was there last night. They won’t be coming to the meeting tonight in Wilmington, because they have their story: Bloom Boxes are evil.
So tonight and tomorrow, progressives get their second chance, not to sway public opinion through the News Journal, but to buck up our public officials that the plan does have support, and that some of their public, if not most of their public, wants renewable and alternative energy.
The meeting is tonight at 7 pm at the Carvel State Office Building Auditorium, Mezzanine Level, 820 N. French Street, Wilmington, Delaware. Tomorrow, our great Progressive neighbors in Sussex County get their chance, with a meeting at the Del Tech Community College, Owens Campus, Arts and Sciences Building, Theater, Georgetown, DE 19930.
And if can’t make either of these meetings, then you simply must send a written comment to the Commission supporting the Bloom Energy plan.

Wednesday Open Thread
Yeah, Sarah Palin isn’t running.
“Does a title shackle a person? Are they — someone like me, maverick, you know, I do go rogue, and I call it like I see it, and I don’t mind stirring it up…. is a title and is a campaign too shackling? Does that prohibit me from being out there, out of the box, not allowing handlers to shape me?”
Economists: Pass the Obama Jobs Bill, No Recession; Do what the GOP wants, Recession Guaranteed.
President Barack Obama’s $447 billion jobs plan would help avoid a return to recession by maintaining growth and pushing down the unemployment rate next year, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Meanwhile, Republican plans would contract the GDP by 1.7%.
Could This Happen in Sussex
When a person is elected to public office, the take an oath to uphold the laws and Constitution of the State. Unfortunately, some think they can pick and choose which laws to obey and enforce. Sussex County Clerk of Peace George Parrish isn’t sure how he will respond to the new Civil Unions bill.
Putting A Price Tag On Sex
Given all the stupid articles ever written about sex, this has to be the stupidest. Grab a cup of coffee, this is going to take a while.
Christie ain’t Christ
So last night Governor Christie gave a speech and took questions from the parishioners at the Cathedral of Saint Ronald, otherwise known as the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Instead of giving Shermanesque statements denying any run for President this year, which he has given in the past, this time he was more deflective and coy. Especially after one questioner basically got down on his knees and offered his firstborn daughter as sacrifice.
Idiot Chicken
In one of the more idiotic statements offered by a politician in some time, North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue said suspend congressional elections for two years “so that Congress can focus on economic recovery and not the next election,” the Raleigh News and Observer reports.
