I'm seriously asking. Does anyone know if Boehner and McConnell can muster up the vestiges of the "moderate" Republicans and vote on a budget with the Democrats? I mean, I…

This new YouGov poll  demonstrates something that I've been saying for a while.  Republicans don't like, and do not feel very attached to the our crappy old Democracy.  It is…

...that the attacks on 9/11 were a successful Al-Qaeda operation, that George Bush turned into a HUGE Al-Qaeda victory through his bungled, nonsensical, and ultimately tragic response.

"President Jeb Bush" is not something this country will ever have to endure. And that is just as well. Jeb's economic brain-trust has come up with an economic plan that…

The words we use shape our reality. This makes a concise case for not using the term "Union Troops" when we are talking about the armies of the United States of America.

I suggest we follow the lead of Finkelman and Baptist and alter our language for the Civil War. Specifically, let us drop the word “Union” when describing the United States side of the conflagration, as in “Union troops” versus “Confederate troops.” Instead of “Union,” we should say “United States.” By employing “Union” instead of “United States,” we are indirectly supporting the Confederate view of secession wherein the nation of the United States collapsed, having been built on a “sandy foundation” (according to rebel Vice President Alexander Stephens).

Ken Simpler was no fluke. He ran a great campaign that offered voters a legitimate alternative to the Democratic cadidate without exciting the passions of the idiot base of the DE GOP. While he caught a break facing off against Sean Barney, a guy with all the baggage of Tom Carper and none of the name recognition, nobody can deny that the Simpler campaign was a cut above the usual half-assery Copeland's DEGOP has become know for. Which raises the question, who is next? Can any of the Republican candidates that have announced for statewide offices inherit Simpler's sober, sane, level-headed, and thereby winning positioning?
