More Rethuglican Crazy Talk
Now why didn’t someone at the USDA think of this? Apparently, we’re so fat as a nation that we’re wasting money on food stamps. At least that’s what Rick Santorum thinks.
Perry = Pander Bear
Rick Perry is scared that he’s going to be nothing more than an asterisk in the race for the Rethuglican-Confederate-Teabagger party nomination for President. So much so that he’s now pandering to the extreme right wing for votes in Iowa. He is running the following gay-baiting ad on TV out there. Click through….
C’Mon Delaware Season 2
With election season bearing down on us like an ethics investigation bearing down on Newt’s speakership, I think that it is time to bring back the podcast. I need a new wingman/side kick/partner, and this time I’d like it to be a true partnership. That means I’m looking for someone with the geeky wherewithal to set up an account on a podcasting service and do most of the leg work involved in posting the pod cast.
Mitt vs. Newt Fratricide will leave both unelectable
This morning I was not very impressed with Mitt’s attack on Newt, but this afternoon’s stuff is much better than I even hoped. Mitt’s team is going after Newt’s “erratic behavior” and stating flat out that Newt is “unfit to lead” and has a history of “irrational behavior that you do not want in the commander-in-chief.” It is tough stuff that will require Newt to climb down into the gutter.
Republicans Think They’re Too Big to Fail
… whoever finally gets the Republican nomination will be a deeply flawed candidate. And these flaws won’t be an accident, the result of bad luck regarding who chose to make a run this time around; the fact that the party is committed to demonstrably false beliefs means that only fakers or the befuddled can get through the selection process.
Of course, given the terrible economic picture and the tendency of voters to blame whoever holds the White House for bad times, even a deeply flawed G.O.P. nominee might very well win the presidency. But then what?
… If the dog actually catches the car — the actual job of running the U.S. government — it will have no idea what to do, because the realities of government in the 21st century bear no resemblance to the mythology all ambitious Republican politicians must pretend to believe. And what will happen then?
VA Tech Shots Reported At Basketball Arena Parking Lot
Because it is Va Tech where another high profile shooting took place, it is big news that gunshots were reported on Virginia Tech’s campus this morning.
Thursday Open Thread [12.8.11]
“Look, for the longest time, Gingrich was not really a factor in this race, he was left for dead at the checkout counter at Tiffany’s,” said David Axelrod, a chief adviser to the president’s re-election bid. “Now he is resurgent and he could be the nominee.”
Hey John Carney!…Pee in a cup, it isn’t just for the poor anymore
“You’ve benefited from hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars over the years, so would you be willing to pee into this cup to prove to Florida taxpayers that you’re not on drugs?’’
Old guy talking to me this morning
old guy: Obama is receiving $500 billion from the SEIU & AFSCME.
ME: That seems like a lot of money.

One of my favorite things about the holidays is all the Christmas lights outside everyone’s homes. Starting tomorrow, I will begin posting pictures on that theme. Since these photos are of people’s houses and not of famous Delaware landmarks, buildings or locations, I will not be asking you to identify the house or any other identifying details. These photos will just be for your enjoyment during the holiday season.
Feel free to submit your own pictures of your outside decorations too. You can email them to me at delawaredem@delawareliberal.net. If the picture quality is good, it will be posted!
Lavelle to Quit House; Run for Senate?
GOP Minority Leader Greg Lavelle, who was redistricted into fellow Republican Deborah Hudson’s district, has decided not to primary her and will not seek reelection to the House. Once the new House maps were released and approved, this has always been the assumed path for Lavelle: seek a promotion.
