I call it the Honeymoon Glow, because there is simply no way Newton Leroy Gingrich is more competitive against President Obama than Mitt Romney, but that is what a new McClatchy-Marist poll finds.
Coons’ cutely named AGREE Act
When one of Delaware’s elected Democratic Senators starts talking bipartisanship, I get very suspicious, because it usually means Republicans get what they want. And with Senator Coons’ recent talk of “tax code reform” in response to any question about raising taxes on the richest 1% in this country, in response to closing corporate loopholes and giveways, and his talk of reforming entitlements, I suppose I have to look at any proposal from his office made in conjunction with a teabagger very closely and very skeptically.
It is the 21st Century after all…
In the News Journal story this morning on the continuing recovery and rehabilitation of Sussex County Councilman Vance Phillips, and the logistical problems his continued absence is presenting the Council, Sussex County Attorney Everett Moore says that Phillips cannot attend council meetings remotely, by either Skype, teleconference or videoconference because Delaware’s Freedom of Information Act expressly prohibits public bodies whose members are elected from participating via videoconference.
Mayor Baker is Exhibit A in why Wilmington Needs a Two Term Limit for Mayors
It just makes sense. Because if you go three terms, then you might become a cranky old asshole who cusses out anyone and everyone at every opportunity.
I am the healthiest person here.
I love pizza. It’s my comfort food. Yet I try to stay away from it because too much pizza is not a healthy thing. All that cheese, grease, and carb ladden dough. But it turns out that I was wrong all along. For you see, I had not considered the obviously true fact that a pizza slice, what with its one to two tablespoon of tomato paste or sauce, was a healthy vegetable. At least…. according to congressional Republicans.

Tuesday Open Thread [11.15.11]
President Obama leads Mitt Romney by 6, with 49% to Romney’s 43%, and Herman Cain by 9, 49% to Cain’s 40%. They didn’t poll how the new Republican frontrunner, Newton Leroy Gingrich (yes, that’s his middle name) polls against Obama, but I would expect a Cain like performance at best.
Charlie Copeland Has His Wilmington Mayoral Candidate
Perennial loser Michael A. Brown, the only R on City Council. For those of you who may not know who he is, or may have forgotten, here is his commercial on behalf of Christine O’Donnell in 2010:
Bigot George Parrish to Run for County Council, Still Hates the Gays (Updated)
Sussex County Clerk of Peace George Parrish is going to announce shortly on Dan Gaffney’s show that he is running for Insurance Commissioner, for George Cole’s seat in the 4th District on the County Council (if he retires that is) as a Christianist Republican, obviously. (DL got punked with a tip that this idiot would somehow run for IC. A county council seat makes much more sense). This news comes on the heels of an News Journal story on him today where he kindly reveals that he will deign to enforce the law of the State of Delaware on Civil Unions over his own bigoted discriminatory views.

It’s Generational.
Thomas Day, a 31 year old Iraq War veteran wrote a guest column yesterday in the Washington Post’s On Faith section. Mr. Day is also a Penn State graduate, a Catholic, an acquaintance of the monster Jerry Sandusky and a product of the now notorious Second Mile foundation. The point of his column to express what I think is a common theme running my and Mr. Day’s generation, and also the youth movement that has been behind both the election of Barack Obama in 2008 and also the Occupy Movement this year:
