President Obama has a 10 to 1 cash on hand advantage over Mitt Romney. Bill Maher donated $1 million to Obama’s SuperPAC. And Tucker Carlson had something shocking to say, and something I agree with.
Education Segregation: Delaware Black Caucus Threatens To Sue
While Race to the Top may be the trigger, the re-segregation of our schools was well underway long before RTTT with the help of Choice, Neighborhood School’s Law, and Charters. Jea Street spells it out: “The new millennium term is ‘charter school’ and ‘choice school. I call it segregation. There are black charter schools and there are predominantly white charter schools. You can call it what you want, but it is what it is.”

Delaware Political Weekly: February 18-24, 2012
Chris lost in his first run two years ago, but the district has added some areas that voted heavily for Mike Katz. Counihan has been a strong supporter of Mitch Crane and a strong advocate for marriage equality. As many of you know, Cathy Cloutier has twice ducked chances to make a big difference on behalf of equal rights for all Delawareans. It is time she was held accountable. Here is the smoking gun. Remember that, Brandywine Hundred equal rights supporters, the next time that Cloutier bats her eyes and tries to convince you that she’s reallyreally on your side. When the chips were down, she was nowhere to be found. Not once, but twice. And don’t get complacent, Dori Connor. We’re coming after you as well. Lip service just doesn’t cut it any more.
Sorry Everyone.
Our servers decided that the morning rush and reading hour would be the opportune time to take a nap. But, hopefully we are back up with no further interruptions.

I just got polled in the Insurance Commissioner race.
Received a call to my cell phone, which is interesting. It was an auto message asking me if I knew who the current Insurance Commissioner was. I had the option of pushing 1 for yes or 2 for no. Obviously, I pushed 1. The second question asked me if the current Insurance Commissioner was 1) Matt Denn, 2) Karen Weldin Stewart or 3) Mitch Crane.
Tony DeLuca Makes the Laws. Tony DeLuca Makes Up the Laws.
Tony DeLuca is an Inconvenient Truth to both Gov. Jack Markell and Attorney General Beau Biden. Not only is he serving illegally as President Pro-Tempore, he is both making the laws as a legislator and he is also making up the laws as the Chief Labor Law Enforcement Officer for the Department of Labor.
Thursday Open Thread [2.23.12]
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez (R) “has lost a hair stylist thanks to her position against gay marriage,” KOB TV reports.
Says Antonio Darden, a popular stylist who runs Antonio’s Hair Studio in Santa Fe: “The governor’s aides called not too long ago, wanting another appointment to come in. Because of her stances and her views on this I told her aides no. They called the next day, asking if I’d changed my mind about taking the governor in and I said no again.”
This should happen more often. Conservatives consequently expect service from those they deny rights to.
Update: Red Clay Board Member, Kim Williams, Replies To Jack Wells
I was actually stunned to find this response in my email this morning. Once again it was copied to everyone.
The Republican Female Problem
Welcome to 2012 – The Year of the Women. And women are furious. And while Romney may have won last night’s debate, he’s losing women. Take a look inside at a chart from TPM. Look what happened to Romney’s favorability among women once the contraception debate entered the discussion. And make no mistake, this is a debate about contraception. Oh, Republicans are trying to make this about religion, but that’s not going to fly. Why? Because it’s a lie.
