Sunday Daily Delawhere [1.27.13]
A labyrinth is laid out in the grass in the courtyard of Christ Episcopal Church in Dover. The church was built in 1734 and is the final resting place of Caesar Rodney.
A Facebook shareable guide to wingnut bogey-persons
I saw this graphic at Daily Kos and was amazed to see that the NEA is still a wingnut bete noir. I mean, the NEA? Worsen than tax increases, but slightly less noxious than France.
Saturday Open Thread [1.26.13]
Nate Silver: “Mr. Obama ran for and won a second term, something only about half of the men to serve as president have done (the tally is 20 or 21 out of 43, depending on how you count Grover Cleveland). We can also note, however, that Mr. Obama’s re-election margin was relatively narrow. Do these […]
“Help” the GOP by freeping this survey
Freep this survey in order to help the GOP figure out what the hell has gone wrong.
You don’t have to use your real name and my made up email address “BayBuchananIsaMan@gmail.com” seems to work fine.
Let them have it in the comments sections and help the GOP national brain trust rationalize nominating Newt Gingrich in 4 years.

Late Night Video — Honda Anti-Theft Negotiator

Friday Open Thread [1.25.13]
What is with Republican leaders speaking the truth these days? Yesterday it was Boehner and today it is McConnell: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) responded to President Obama’s [..] inaugural address by declaring, “The era of liberalism is back.” You’re right, Mitch. Wow. President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will sit down […]
Senator Chris Coons Reintroduces the FAST Voting Act
Senator Coons and others filed this bill last November, after we saw one more US election marked with long lines to vote, registration questions and issues and other problems that got in the way of very many Americans to exercise their franchise. He has reintroduced this bill, with Senators Mark Warner (D-Va.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) to help states to improve their election capabilities and make it easier for Americans to vote.
Sign this open letter to Congressman Carney: Corprate Tax Reform Needs to be Revenue Positive
Congressman Carney,
Through relentless lobbying, big businesses have turned tax avoidance into an art form. While families and main street businesses pay our mandated tax rates of 30 – 35%, large corporations now have an effective tax rate of about 18 percent.
Worse yet, instead of investing record setting profits in job growth here, large corporations are using off shore tax havens to hoard cash. The “S&P 500” companies alone have $1.5 trillion stashed offshore. And the “Fix the Debt campaign” that you are so enamored with, is working to protect and enhance off shore tax shelters.
Seriously? New Mexico Bill: Rape Victims Who Get An Abortion Will Be Charged With Tampering With The Evidence
Yeah, it won’t pass, but… OMG! Someone actually introduced this bill:
A Republican lawmaker in New Mexico introduced a bill on Wednesday that would legally require victims of rape to carry their pregnancies to term in order to use the fetus as evidence for a sexual assault trial.
In which John Sigler begs for money while lowering himself to get into a pissing match with DelawareLiberal
If you had any doubt that John Sigler is a clown after his last missive, he works to dispel those doubts in this weeks episode of “The Looneyville Chronicles”
Dear Republican Friend,
It didn’t take much to launch the arrogant liberal elite into a self-defeating attack against its opposition party…
Just a short time after I sent an email sharing my regret that the President didn’t offer a more unifying message during his inaugural address, the extreme liberal smear site DelawareLiberal.net took my words and continued the name calling that President Obama “urged” against.
Reid gets his ass handed to him by McConnell on filibuster deal
Democrats, why do you suck so? Why do you start out with popular ideas and positive intentions only to allow Republicans to hose you like a German shepherd addressing his favorite fire hydrant?
