30K New Troops to Afghanistan

Filed in International, National by on December 1, 2009 37 Comments

The Presidant gave a speech this evening to West Point cadets. The strategy is the surge part deux.  30,000 new troops to Afghanistan to stabilize the situation and support the shitty government there.  Then start pulling the troops out in 18 months.  Many soldiers will miss only a single Christmas. As much as I have […]

PSA Press Release: Lake is Exonerated

Filed in National by on November 22, 2009 4 Comments

Nancy Willing sent me this press release sent out by Frank Murphy today:

The Board of the Peoples Settlement Association today announced that Keith Lake, its Executive Director of 16 years, has been cleared of all allegations of misconduct. After a special investigation lasting more than one year, the State Auditor of Accounts provided Peoples Settlement with a report finding no evidence of illegal conduct or missing state funds. Representatives of Peoples Settlement recently met with the Auditor’s Office, and confirmed that Mr. Lake was exonerated of any wrongdoing.

It is funny how the same people keep popping up at all of these McDowell influenced organizations.

Radio Times’ Hasan Hour

Filed in National by on November 17, 2009 6 Comments

Last night I was able to listen to a repeat broadcast of yesterday’s Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane (mp3). She spent an hour interviewing three guests about Nidal Hasan, the Ft. Hood killer. Unfortunately, I only got to hear the first half, but it was riveting. The first half hour was a discussion with Daniel Zwerdling, who has been interviewing Hasan’s co-workers to find out what the missed signs were.

Is Hasan a Terrorist?

Filed in National by on November 12, 2009 29 Comments

I was having a discussion at work the other day about the Ft. Hood killings.  One of my co-workers said, “He’s a terrorist.”  I disagreed with him and stated my definition of terrorism.  Primarily, it deals with the motive of the act being designed to terrorize a populace into forcing a political change.  Israel, Northern […]

Why Eminent Domain Had To Be Reformed

Filed in National by on November 12, 2009 8 Comments

Hopefully we all remember the fight that Ed Osbourne fought for several years to prevent his business (an incredible auto repair shop) from being taken through eminent domain.  The issue was that an extremely shitty Supreme Court decision had ruled that it was legal to seize property (with compensation) through eminent domain in order to […]

Time to Put Up or Shut Up Sussex County Republicans

Filed in National by on November 12, 2009 13 Comments

As a terrible storm slowly works its way up the coast, I hereby call on Mike Castle and Sussex County Republicans to demand that the federal government save our tax dollars by not spending on beach replenishment.  Sussex County is sick and tired of the inefficient and dangerous expansion of government into what should be […]

20 Years Since the Wall Fell

Filed in International by on November 9, 2009 14 Comments

I was a young whipper-snapper when the wall fell.  I had been to Germany the previous summer and had fallen in love with the people and culture.  I was not there when the wall started to fall, but luckily it didn’t all happen at once. I was given an opportunity to go to Germany in […]

Charlie Won’t Run

I was looking at my email the other day and a web ad appeared on the page for the Delaware GOP.  I know they get charged if I click on it and I wanted to see what they are up to, so I clicked.  It took me to their Stop the Biden Dynasty page, where […]

The Castle Purging Begins on Saturday

Filed in National by on November 5, 2009 41 Comments

Apparently there is a Tea Party this Saturday in Dover. I guess that it is being advertised on Stormfront or wherever those people get together online. Last time they did this, there was a minor bruhaha about Tea Party barfly, Mike Protack and his demand for top billing. This time, an actual candidate for an actual office is speaking.
