Yeah, it is true. Christie really couldn't be any more vile or corrupt....

...the most damaging developments for Christie are closer to home. A New York Times investigation published Tuesday shows he’d turned the Port Authority “into a de facto political operation” even before Kelly declared it was “time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee.” Christie used big Port Authority projects to win endorsement from Democrats and union leaders, and in a ghoulish touch, even handed out wreckage from the World Trade Center to reward mayors who backed him.

I suppose, if it turns out he is offering Baal human sacrifices during monthly Black Mass meetings of a Satanic cult in his basement, it could get a little worse for him. But at this point, only a touch worse.

This looks cool. The guy is hiking 6,800 miles from Point Reyes, CA to Cape Henelopen along the American Discovery Trail. He'll get to the Atlantic on March 15th. The…

It is basically official. Biden will be the straight-talking, blue collar, non-Clinton alternative to Ms. Clinton. So what if he is polling at 12% to Clinton's 72%? He has always wanted to be the President of the United States and you have 0% chance of making the shots you don't take. Would he be a good President? Well, what's your criteria? He would be better than any of the Republican alternatives, to be sure. Would he be better than Hilary Clinton? I guess we'll be able to hear him make the case for why he would. In the process I only hope that he doesn't load up the GOP with a lot of ammunition to use against her if (when?) he falls short.

This is total BS, and unfortunately, totally not surprising.

Florida’s State Attorney is pursuing 60 years behind bars for Marissa Alexander, a Black woman who fired a “warning shot” in the direction of her estranged husband and his two kids.

Mike Castle can sleep in his beach house soundly knowing that you are on the job heavily subsidizing his choice to live next to the unpredictable Atlantic Ocean totally risk free. You feel good about yourself, right? Castle deserves his sound sleep. Actually, I'm not crazy about the set up. I happen to think that people who decide to live in flood plains should shoulder the risk of that reckless behavior. It is the one area of common ground I had with teabags, and it was the one positive outcome from the Democratic Party's adoption of austerity mania. We can't afford to cover Mike Castles flood risk, nor should we have to. For a while it looked like we were going to get out from under having to pay Mike Castle's beach house flood insurance premiums, but now it looks like that ain't happening

I tried to come up with a phrasing of the Coons Doctrine which captured Senator Coons' claim that the United States must constantly demonstrate Bushian levels of breathtaking and ill-conceived belligerence on a world wide scale, or else be perceived as pussies. I think I only partially captured it. We've seen this idiotic foreign policy doctrine promoted before. Usually it is territory covered by cretins like John Bolton and Dick Cheney. To hear it promoted by our blue state Democratic Senator is truly startling. Coons appears to be taking former Ct Senator Joe Lieberman as a foreign policy godfather. If it is true and Coons is guided by Lieberman on foreign policy and Carper on domestic policy - I can't help but wonder what good he can possibly be to his Delaware constituents? That isn't to say that Christine O'Donnell would have been better, but at least O'Donnell would have been a one termer. Coons, being a Democrat, has a lifetime sinecure in the Senate. Let that sink in as you consider the fact that Coons laments the fact that we didn't go to war in Syrian.

Senator Coons needs money to fight the horrible Tea Party, but also bipartisanship is AWESOME!!! (...or something, it made sense to the fundraising consultant.) Anyway, in addition to the philosophically hazy email, Coons is sitting on $2.9 million and has no GOP opponent, so I'll probably sit this round out. (Click through to read the muddled email)

If there is a person alive who is more evil than Dick Cheney, I've never heard of them. He was the guy who was supposed to be the adult in the room during the caretaker Presidency of George Bush's idiot son. Instead, to the non-surprise of many, he turned out to be a bloodthirsty sociopath. Well, now he is back talking to Fox News because he is such an expert on the military or something.

"Burble, bauble, toil and trouble. Give me a scotch and make it a double." That's my spell. Read on to see Christine ply her dark arts in an attempt to once again separate fools from their purses.

Delaware Tea Party star Christine O'Donnell is at it again, attempting to raise money and generate sympathy by claiming she was victimized by the IRS and Delaware's Division of Revenue. O'Donnell wrote an op-ed for the New York Post on Saturday, saying she was "preyed upon" by state and federal officials who "leaked" her private tax records, resulting in damage to her 2010 U.S. Senate campaign. She refers as evidence to a publicly available federal tax lien that was filed in New Castle County as the IRS audited O'Donnell's 2005 tax return for unpaid federal taxes. The News Journal wrote about O'Donnell's financial problems, including the lien, in this March 20, 2010 story.

There is a lot of weirdness packed into Acting DEGOP Chair, Copeland's fundraising appeal. Let's unpack it, shall we?

Dear Fellow Republican, This past week Joe Biden told his fellow tax. borrow and spend Democrats that, "There isn't a Republican Party". I need your help to prove him wrong!

That was February 14th. Way to jump on this hot news item, Charlie.

As a Delaware Republican, you've watched the strong arm tactics of the Biden family over the years, and the negative impact it's had on our nation and our state.

He doesn't say what strong arm tactics, so I guess this it just Biden hating for the sake of Biden hating. A little red meat for the downstate dummies who aren't at the cocktail parties Charlie attends with the Bidens. Maybe the strong arm tactics he is talking about is the dastardly winning of the elections? I can see how Copeland would view the ability to win elections as some sort of mysterious black magic.

In spite of the soap opera that is his life, Vance Phillips will give himself the watermelon of doom this year and attempt to be its first survivor. His chances of survival actually seem pretty good if this Cape Gazette blurb fully captures his opponent's confusion.
