The Stupidity of More Casinos

By Delaware Dem May 25, 201120 Comments

Representative Dennis E. Williams is sponsoring a new bill tomorrow that would authorize two new casinos in Delaware. That would be in addition to the three already operating in the state (Dover Downs, Delaware Park, and Harrington), and also in addition to the Harrah's in Chester, and the two casinos in the Philly Northeast section. And that is also in addition to whatever Maryland has got planned. And that is also in addition to Atlantic City. And that is also in addition to possibly more casinos in Pennsylvania. ENOUGH!

Tommywonk on the costs, financial and otherwise, of the First State using coal power, Paul Ryan's destruction of the GOP, and the default behavioral condition of the GOP is to be rude and insulting.

Socialism at the Gates

By liberalgeek May 24, 201115 Comments

I gotta tell ya, I'm kind of sick of the empty cry of socialism every time the government tries to do something. Rob Tornoe always get people in an uproar on his Facebook account (and it is fun to watch) but inevitably someone starts talking about socialism-this or socialism-that when Rob talks about some egregious act done by corporate America.

Tuesday Open Thread

Outdoor smoking bans. A special election in New York. The GOP Primary according to the White House. And voting on the Ryan Medicare-killing plan becomes more idiotic.

The Pawlenty Pardon

By jason330 May 24, 201121 Comments

I don't like ill-considered pardons being used against Governors turned Presidential candidates. A small possibility of clemency built into the machinery of our modern prison industrial complex is not a bad thing. If every Governor feels that they may be haunted by the future acts of someone who seemed deserving of mercy, I see the possibility of clemency evaporating.

Democratic contributors said [Biden] alluded to the possibility during a fundraiser Thursday in Cincinnati while talking up the Obama administration. Don't worry. Biden was just waxing nostalgic.

The Responsibilities of the Democratic Electorate

By liberalgeek May 23, 20115 Comments

The need to purge our party of people that don't take their responsibilities to the people of Delaware is an unending job and it takes a concentrated effort. We have to often choose our battles so that we can win a few rather than lose a bunch of them. In 2012, we will again be in a target-rich environment.
