Windpower Story Goes National

Filed in National by on June 24, 2008 2 Comments

This morning, national MSM outlets started to talk about yesterdays windpower deal.  CNN had it on their blog.  Reuters had a story on it.  And now one of my favorite haunts, Slashdot has a post on it.  Delaware is finally starting to get some good press out of the windfarm, even if some of the […]

Windpower Deal Winners

Filed in National by on June 24, 2008 64 Comments

Yesterday, Jason and I, along with 3 other bloggers attended that Newark press conference for Bluewater Wind.  There are definitely winners in this deal.  You and I are winners.  Our rates will rise marginally, but we might not notice it by then, because the energy bills will be even further out of control. John Carney […]

We are at a crossroads again.  The legislature is still dragging its feet on giving Russ Larson permission to approve the Bluewater Wind deal.  We need to get this done. On Wednesday, at 6:30AM, I am planning to be down at legislative hall to plant 150 pinwheels to represent the 150 wind turbines that have […]

George Carlin was one of those comedians that reached multiple generations, for about 40 years everyone who liked smart comedy, knew (and probably loved) George Carlin.  Carlin died of an apparent heart attack.  I may have to rent Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure this weekend.

Mall Question

Filed in National by on June 22, 2008 13 Comments

So if black students in the 60’s were able to sit at a lunch counter and be refused service, what is the legal difference between that and 16 year olds going to the mall and just sitting there?  If it is trespassing (being young and in the mall on a Friday night), why wasn’t it […]

Are You Going to the Blue-Gold Game?

Filed in National by on June 20, 2008 2 Comments

Tomorrow is the annual Blue-Gold game.  I highlighted this game last weekend, but I wanted to get another plug in today.  This is a great event that benefits a worthwhile cause.  I don’t care if you are liberal or conservative, consider spending some time at UD tomorrow starting at 4PM to have a fun time […]

Breaking: Christiana Mall to Ban African Americans on Weekends

Filed in National by on June 18, 2008 89 Comments

Christiana Mall has had enough of African Americans taking over their mall.  Amid complaints that their more affluent customers “don’t feel comfortable” on the weekends with all these blacks running around, sitting in the food court and congregating around urban themed stores, the mall has decided to take action.  Effective next month, the mall will […]

Time to Call Governor Minner

Filed in National by on June 18, 2008 5 Comments

Pick up your phone and call the Governor and ask her to sign the Eminent Domain Law sitting on her desk.  Word is that the Guv is thinking about vetoing this bill knowing that the legislature wouldn’t override.  The law puts limits on the ability of municipalities to seize property under eminent domain by defining […]

Democrats for McCain is a Farce

Filed in National by on June 18, 2008 4 Comments

McCain has been touting his Democrats for McCain for the past week.  Talking Points Memo effectively debunks the list of “Prominent Democrats” included. Some of the “Democrats” and “Independents” on the list already have often supported Republicans in the past, suggesting that there’s little if any meaning to their support for McCain over Obama. And […]

The New Line of Bull

Filed in National by on June 16, 2008 20 Comments

I was watching MSNBC for a little while this evening and I saw an interview with Heidi Harris and Amy Goodman. My Spidey sense started tingling when Harris said that women vote Democratic because they vote with their heart, not their head. If I said that, my wife would stab me in the neck. To […]
