The most prized endorsement in the history of mankind will be announced tonight, according to an email from the Friends of Christine O’Donnell (she has friends?). I am sure you cannot wait another moment. Will she side with the vile and toxic Ann Coulter and stick with Romney? Will she jump on the Gingrich bandwagon? Will she stay true to her anti-sex anti-gay anti-masturbation and anti-reason principles and endorse the frothy mix that is Rick Santorum?

Rick Santorum is clueless

Senator Coons blasts republicans over Cordray filibuster and general assholishness

In refreshingly honest and direct language, Senator Chris Coons blasted the GOP for blocking the appointment of Richard Cordray, President Obama’s pick to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Agency. In an interview on the liberal leaning Bill Press show, Coons stated, “I think he should have been confirmed and again it is just part of a theme here. Filibuster, filibuster filibuster. We can’t even get to a vote on important nominations.” Coons called into the interview this morning while commuting to Washington on Amtrak.

‘Bulo’s 2011 Top 10 MVPs (Most Valuable to the Progressive Cause)

Filed in Delaware by El Somnambulo on December 13, 2011 • 16 Comments

2011 was a mixed year for progressivism in Delaware. We saw tremendous strides on social issues, especially equal rights for all Delawareans.

We saw the emergence of the ‘We Are the 99%’ movement via OWS which, nationally was the best thing to happen for the progressive cause since 1964. We saw ongoing corruption, inbreeding and cronyism in the Delaware General Assembly. We saw the first legitimate attempts to challenge the rot at the core of the Delaware Way.
