On her victory lap of Iowa yesterday, Straw Poll winner Rep. Michele Bachmann paid repeated tribute to her local roots, and repeatedly mentioned her family reunion that day, citing it as an excuse for her late arrival at a local party event in Waterloo. But her own mother says Michelle wasn't there. Ooops.

...as DEDO is looking for a large piece of land to hold a million square foot "employment center." Meanwhile, in a possibly related story, Southwest Windpower, a manufacturer of small windpower, is moving to Delaware.

I hate Mondays. Discuss.

WGMD downstate is reporting that the Georgetown office of the Social Security Administration is cutting its public hours to 9 am to 3:30 p.m. I am sure some stupid teabagger will now start complaining about it.

So who do think are the best Delaware legislators of the 2011 General Assembly session? The worst? Be specific here. It is not enough to say that you think Tony…

Hat tip to Mike Matthews, who I suppose was searching for the very latest Christine O'Donnell-related items that he did not already own on that vandalized Amazon page we talked about earlier this week.

Really, what Discover is doing here is a small scale repeat of what the Republicans did during the debt ceiling crisis of their own making. Discover is took a hostage, and demanded money or else it would shoot that hostage. And the hostage was 900 Delaware jobs. I guess I should be angry at Levin and Markell for agreeing to the ransom, but at some point, when do we rise up with pitch forks and slay the evil corporations?
