Late Night Video — Bill Maher Shooting the Zombie Lies in the Head
Zombie Lies. Perfect description of the perpetual GOP talking points — the ones they keep repeating even though they’ve been definitively proven to be a lie. But those lies/talking points never go away and the usual GOP suspects can pick up where they were 6 years ago, get in front of a TV camera and it is as though the past 6 years never happened. The lies keep coming back as do the liars that tell them. Maher here wants to know why they can keep saying them over and over again — my opinion is that the journalists who will tell you that their job is holding people accountable are also telling you a Zombie Lie. Bill Maher and his New Rules:

Late Night Video — “I’m the Guy Doin’ My Job, You Must Be the Other Guy!”
This is President Obama earlier today in Texas talking about the complete uselessness of GOP obstruction (and lawsuits). I like him when he’s not really worried about reaching out to the GOP, and yet he always does. This is definitely dripping in well-deserved ridicule for the GOP and their no-show job ways, but he still invites them to work with him. Still — I REALLY wish that there was more of this from Democrats across the board. The GOP is absolutely vulnerable on the do-nothing charge and that should be part of the narrative from now until election day:
The Delaware Test
This is a good weekend, I’m putting off the house work activity (or I’m going to save this for some office timewasting on Monday) — The Delaware Test was created by some Delaware denizens of Reddit. It’s a bunch of questions, including a fair number of political ones. Take it and tell us: 1) your score; 2) what you think of these questions and 3) what question is missing.

Breaking: State Rep. Rebecca Walker Will Not Seek Reelection
I first got a heads-up on this from a reader, and then I went to the Delaware Elections website and discovered that she is no longer listed among the ballot-qualified candidates. In other words, Rebecca Walker has withdrawn for reelection in the 9th RD. And, by waiting until after the filing deadline to remove her […]
BREAKING: Richard Korn acquitted on all charges
BREAKING Richard Korn acquitted on all child porn charges #netde #courtsde. Judge found while 50 images of child porn on computer state could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt Korn knew images were there or viewed them. A tearful
Korn declined comment after saying, “I just want to go see my children”
Breaking: UD Pulls the Plug on the Data Center/Power Plant
I just got an email on this and there isn’t much available yet. From WDEL:
UD announced it has terminated its lease with The Data Centers (TDC), putting a halt to TDC’s plans to develop a data center on the site of the former Chrysler plant.
A report issued Thursday, UD faculty and administrative leaders concluded that the proposed facility, which included a 279-megawatt power plant is not consistent with their first class science and technology campus.
The Second Treasurer’s Debate (Democratic Version)
(Edit: I’ve fixed the title since the first debate was in Sussex some weeks ago.I’m sorry for the mistake.) Tuesday night was a debate sponsored by the Society of Professional Journalists between Chip Flowers and Sean Barney. Unfortunately, I could not go, but a friend was there and provides this Guest Post of the proceedings:
Conservative Thad Cochran is a Kenyan Usurper
If you are a political party that runs on bile and deranged toxicity, attracting voters isn’t easy. It is an uphill slog. As we know when the GOP’s angry hate-filled rants couldn’t attract enough voters to beat President Obama, the hate didn’t go away after the election. It grew. It turned from trying to beat […]
