President Obama’s State of the Union speech “will be less a presidential olive branch than a congressional cattle prod,” Politico reports.
Excellent. Hell, if the President wants to curse at the Republicans, I am perfectly fine with that.
BREAKING: Shots fired at NCCo. Courthouse.

When the highest point in our state is only 447 feet above seal level, and the vast majority of the state lies on a coastal plain, it stands to reason that there will not be many caves here. And that is true. There is only one known cave. The Beaver Valley Cave is located near the intersection of Beaver Valley & Beaver Dam Roads in Chateau Country, just 100 feet away from the Pennsylvania border. The entrance is 24 feet wide and 5 feet high, and the main chamber is 16 feet deep, with a crawl space continuing another 40 feet further in. Lenni Lenape Indians used the cave as a resting spot and shelter when fishing in the nearby Brandywine River.
Sunday Open Thread [2.10.13]
It is too nice of a day to unpack this many layers of stupidity….
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Sunday that the sequester must be avoided and conceded that he might be willing to raise some revenues in order to strike a deal and avert sequestration.
“We’ve got to avoid it, we’ve got to stop it,” McCain said on “Fox News Sunday.” “Would I look at some revenue closers? Maybe so. But we’ve already just raised taxes. Why do we have to raise taxes again?”
Democrats want a budget that raises revenues by closing tax loopholes like oil subsidies, while Republicans have argued that the tax increases in the fiscal cliff deal in January mean no additional revenues are necessary.
We are ruled by idiots.

Saturday Open Thread [2.9.13]
So we in Delaware missed out on Blizzard Nemo. Oh well. I didn’t feel like shoveling today anyway.
Lt. Gov. Matt Denn on WHYY talking about preventing teen suicides.
We also have Governor Markell’s weekly message, President Obama’s weekly address, and the West Wing Week inside…
The Weekend Polling Report
Hillary Clinton wins Kentucky in 2016. Kentucky. Delaware is the 5th most liberal state in the nation. The hunting state of Pennsylvania overwhelmingly wants gun control, and they hate, and I mean HATE, their Republican Governor. Americans like President Obama’s immigration plan. PBS is the nation’s most trusted network. And Iowa would really like a Democrat as their next Senator.

Friday Open Thread [2.8.13]
Who isn’t fascinated by the looming Republican self immolation? I can’t read enough about it. Here is a bit of Josh Marshall pointing out that – and I’m paraphrasing – it isn’t “radicals” vs “reasonables” it is “radicals” vs. “sick minded, greedy, power hungry freaks”
