NY Times’ Palin Profile
The New York Times has published an expose on Governor Palin. So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as a qualification for […]
Protack Drops Out
Apparently Mike Protack has dropped out of the race. He gave an opening and closing statement at the Candidate Forum tonight, then dropped. Down With Absolutes got the scoop. Looks like we won’t have pornstache to kick around any more (for two years).
Stupidity Reigns
The good news is that Rick Jenson is on vacation, the bad news is that the guy filling in for him is as smart as a bag of hair. I listened to the first few minutes of his show and he said the following: Even Hillary supported going after the governments that support terrorism in […]
Pete Schwartzkopf Talks Markell and Atkins
I had a chance to sit down with Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf (D-14) at the Jack Markell victory party. We talk about Markells win and why in the hell he supports John Atkins. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxb-0m2pAvU[/youtube] Update: Let me make clear that I do not hold Pete’s views on Atkins. I think that the 41st should re-elect Greg […]
Markell Primary Victory Speech
YouTube limits files to 10 minutes. With all the applause, Jack took too long. Nevertheless, check out the whole speech in two parts. Part 1 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgVB0MEqWRg[/youtube] Part 2 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8Wsc2hkrxQ[/youtube] Bonus if you can hear the little boy next to me on the stage say “When’s Jack Markell coming on?” And then “When’s Barrack Obama coming […]

Freddie and Fannie Hit Home
I have pretty good credit. I make a pretty good salary. I live in a nice house. I don’t anticipate having much trouble riding out this recession. Then, today my wife got a call. Mrs. Geek? Yes? This is your mortgage company. We are calling to talk about your Home Equity Line of Credit. OK… […]
What to Expect: Primary Day
We have a lot planned for our coverage on Primary night. As mentioned earlier, Jason will be appearing on WHYY-TV12 in the evening as a commentator. In the meanwhile, the rest of the team will be hanging out at the Carney/Dem party at the Chase Center and Markell HQ, across the parking lot in the […]
Now I Can Feel Better About Those Monday Night Eagles Games
I went up to the Eagles game yesterday (great game, by the way). At halftime, they made an announcement that went largely uncheered by most except me. The Eagles will be buying 100% wind energy from now on, making them the first NFL team to go 100% on sustainable energy. Their latest purchase of 14 […]
Around the Horn Friday – Podcast Edition
It’s been months since we did Around the Horn (and I don’t miss doing it, actually). But today it makes its triumphant return with a half hour podcast by Jason. This is an idea that will be refined over the next few weeks, but in the meantime, enjoy the show.
