Bad Medicine
Our economy is sick. George Bush and his team of economic advisors has been working all weekend trying to figure out what is wrong with the patient. Let’s set aside the fact that George Bush and his team of military and intelligence advisors got virtually everything wrong in Iraq. Let’s just look at this issue […]
Castle on the Bailout
Last night I was able to take part in one of the things that make Delaware a wonderful place to live. I got to spend a few minutes having a one-on-one conversation with Michael Castle (He of the House Financial Services Committee) on the subject of a huge corporate bailout with a 1 liter beer […]
Ocktoberfest!
Screw this crappy economy. Come out tonight to the Ocktoberfest in Newark. Good food, good beer, good music (if you like German folk music) and lots and lots of politicians.
Massive Bailout
There really is no other way to describe it. The US Government will essentially buy the bad mortgages that are sitting on the books of the US banks and will repackage them and assign a fair value to them and sell them back to the banks. Essentially we, you and I, will buy a bunch […]
He’s Always Tommy to Us
Tommywonk, aka Tom Noyes, aka Thomas Noyes, has another article published by The Guardian. In the article, “Thomas” compares and contrasts Sarah Palin’s “experience” with that of Joe Biden. I remember when he was just a local guy, writing about folk festivals and windmills. Now he is a global celebrity.
Palin’s Personal Email Account Hacked!
Governor Palin’s personal email account at Yahoo was hacked by “anonymous” the group that has been targeting Scientology. It’s contents have been sent to WikiLeaks. There are some screen shots of the emails and some personal pictures. It also looks like she was using it to circumvent public records rules.
Newhart/St. Elsewhere/Dallas Watch in Effect
Jason made a prediction a while back that at some point the Dow would hit 10,659 (where it was when GWB took office) and suddenly we would all wake up and realize that it was all a dream and Al Gore had actually been elected. We are well within striking range of that Dow level. […]
Gotta Love Developers
I am currently sitting at the New Castle County Council meeting. They are currently discussing the LaGrange development. This is Nancy Willing’s big interest and she has been fighting Pam Scott over it for years. Here’s my favorite part, the developer is going to name the streets after Revolutionary War Generals. I laughed at this […]
504 Points
The Dow closed today down 504 points, also Delaware Talk Radio went on the air. Coincidence? I think not. It’s OK, John McCain thinks the economy is fine.
Oh Snap! RFK Jr. Opens a Can-o-Whoop-Ass on Palin
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. attacks Sarah Palin on an author that she quoted in her acceptance speech. Apparently, the author, Westbrook Pegler, made a prediction about RFK Sr. being assassinated. Ouch. Hey Sarah, what else are you reading?
Workforce Housing Ordinance Online
New Castle County has workforce housing links on the land use page. The text of the law is there as well. I really need to do an annotated version of the it, but for now, immerse yourself. The handouts to developers are pretty easy to spot, they’re everywhere. There is a council meeting on Tuesday […]

Thanks to Tom Noyes for letting us know about this article in the Sunday NY Times magazine. It is a six page article that covers the whole journey of Bluewater. Copeland and McDowell get called out for their opposition. Tommywonk also gets a quote.
