I have a short list of people whose deaths I will be happy to celebrate. Frank Luntz is one of them. It appears I might have the chance. Luntz got a serious case of the pouts when Obama was reelected and it is threatening to kill him. Now don't get me wrong. I know depression is a real disease, but Luntz' depression is funny to me.

It was what Luntz heard from the American people that scared him. They were contentious and argumentative. They didn't listen to each other as they once had. They weren't interested in hearing other points of view. They were divided one against the other, black vs. white, men vs. women, young vs. old, rich vs. poor. "They want to impose their opinions rather than express them," is the way he describes what he saw. "And they're picking up their leads from here in Washington."

Perhaps Washington DC's football fans will usher in a new golden age of socialism where Obama has failed? Maybe. It works in Green Bay. Anyway, even if big time sports aren't nationalized, if there is such a thing as cosmic justice, Daniel Snyder will die penniless and alone.

Ostensibly, about the Republican Party quietly declaring war on itself, this Matt Taibbi piece in Rolling Stone does a great job explaining the origins and impact of GOP's two decades of failed governance and dumbed-down politics.

I'm not sure what this acquisition news means for NCC's news producers (Hi Chip!) and consumers, but Gannett sure was sitting on a pile of cash. Also, (since this is a blog post about media) let me take this opportunity to mention, yet again, that Sussex county has better TV media coverage than New Castle County.

Beck trashed Christie to Cupp on Piers Morgan's show. Let that sink in an try to get your head around it. I can't think of liberal names to substitute that would make any kind parallel universe sense. Michael Moore trashed Bennie Sanders to Markos Moulitsas who was filling in for Rachael Maddow (?) When that happens Hube and I will be brothers, because at long last - our mutual dream of a liberal media will be realized.

Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause it's cooooold out there today.

The Senate’s top Republican signaled Tuesday that he will seek to extract concessions from Democrats in exchange for lifting the nation’s debt limit in 2014, potentially foreshadowing a grueling fiscal fight during an election year.

Here is Carney's statement on the recently passed budget. I can't figure out if mentioning deficit reduction as a top priority TWICE in such a short statement is done out of stupidity or cynicism.

Francis' oppressive tolerance and totalitarian love for humanity - and the way it delivers roundhouse kick after roundhouse kick to the hypocrisy of American "Christians" is endlessly entertaining to me. I daresay, if he had been the Pope when George Bush concocted a pretext to bomb the shit out of Iraq simply because he had a hard on to bomb Iraq - this Pope might have had a few words to say about it.

Sure there will be some nutbags. And I can't imagine that Charles Lammot DuPont Copeland would be incompetent enough to let this come to pass, but so far nobody is whispering legitimate names into the ear of the Dean of Delaware political bloggers.

In the age of the perpetual campaign, Delaware looks like the place that politics forgot. ... So far it is nothing but a free ride at the top of the ballot for Chris Coons, John Carney and Beau Biden on the Democrats' 2014 statewide ticket, not a Republican opponent or a primary challenger in sight.

Tom Carper and Chris Coons are co-chairs of "The Third Way" , a corporate Democrat's think tank in Washington that has been described as "oligarchy promoters pretending to be reasonable." Aside from Carper and Coons, the leadership of the Third Way is, "made up almost entirely of investment bankers and other Wall Street executives.[5] So it is not surprising that Caper's organization is going all out to undermine and discredit Elizabeth Warren.
