Late Night Video — Labor Pains for Dads

This is a great Father's Day Video (even though it was made for Mother's Day) -- where two Dads take the challenge of experiencing simulated labor pains. A doctor rigged up electrodes that she strapped to the abdomens of these guys and then started the simulation. Love that their wives stroll into this thing, drinking coffee and being utterly nonchalant. Then the wives drop right into birth coaching mode. Hilarious! (Approx. 3 and a half minutes long.) More boys need to try this out.

Hiding Behind Lawyers to Hide Coastal Zone Impacts Isn’t A Good Management Strategy

It just makes people think that you are trying to hide something, which, apparently, the Markell Administration is doing. Today's NJ brings us another story of the ongoing issues surrounding the PBF refinery at Delaware City. In the main, it looks like the refinery is expanding its operations outside of its permitted area (staging and unloading rail cars outside of the boundary of the plant; a planned barge shipment of oil over to a NJ plant), and taxpayers aren't being allowed to see whether or not there are violations of the state's Coastal Zonal Act here.

So I guess Jeb Bush is running for President, and he is positioning himself as a conservative...
Said Bush: "[My campaign] will be based on my record. And that record was one of solving problems from completely from a conservative perspective. I cut taxes every year, I shrunk the size of government." "I will be able to, I think, manage my way through all the chirpers out there."
First step in trying to win support of conservative fire breathing fire talking tea bagging idiots who are the base of the Republican Party is to not call them chirpers. These idiots have a very high opinion of themselves, are overly sensitive and do not take any minor or perceived insult well.
