OMFG! Obama in Philly
Wow. Now I wish I had blown off my book club to see Obama. He drew 30,000 people to see him deliver a speech at Independence Hall. It was the largest crowd that he has drawn in the campaign (and that is saying something). Let’s put this in context. Tonight in Philly there was a […]

Pardon the Interruption
Sorry for the little technical glitch. No, your office didn’t start blocking the site, there was a technical issue which has been rectified.
This is Why We Don’t Believe Them
Whenever the issue of erosion of civil liberties comes up in conversation, someone will invariably pipe in with some line about how much improved our security as a nation is. “Look at how many terrorist attacks we have prevented!” I have always had this feeling that most of the attacks that we have prevented are […]
Last Chance to Support the Autism Society of Delaware
That little widget on the right has bee staring at you for almost a month now. You still haven’t clicked it and made a donation… The walk is this weekend and it will really help a segment of our population that can use all of the help they can get. The Autism Society of Delaware […]
How Not to Interact on a Blog – The Rob Foraker Story
I don’t know how he does it. Rob Foraker keeps finding old posts here (and in other places, I suspect) and posting irrelevant stuff where no one will find it. As evidence, I present this comment. The original post was made on June 13th, 2007. Rob has posted on this comment twice in the past […]
LiberalGeek Question of the Day
With all apologies to Donviti, I have a question. Can we all agree that Ethanol is a failure and that we need to bail out on it before we tar all alternative energies as bad ideas? I believe that we make mistakes. Ethanol is one of them and the sooner we cut bait on it, […]
I Wish Al Gore Had Been Appointed President
Al Gore has a new slideshow on climate change. He has some stunning updates to his Inconvenient Truth. It is a 28 minute video, but it is chock full of good data and some pretty funny commentary. Even better, it can be downloaded and there is even an iPod ready download.
The Problem With The Super Delegate Counter
Apparently, today Hillary lost a pledged superdelegate and Obama picked up quite a few (from 246-216 v. 245-221, today). This gets Obama to only a 24 delegate deficit. The problem is that I cannot seem to find the damn supporting documentation on the numbers. If anyone knows where that data might be, I’d love to […]
David Vitter’s Judgment Sucks All-Around
David Vitter (R-LA) was trying to get away from reporters questions about an affair with a prostitute as fast a possible. So fast, in fact, that he ran over a sign. Impaired judgment becomes you, Senator. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88l3H0QyoZI[/youtube]
Holy Cow! Hillary Gets Around.
Politifact.com has used Hillary’s schedule and news reports from her years as First Lady to compile this interactive map of her travels. Now that’s the kind of traveling I would like to do. I now feel like a travel slacker. Now word on whether you can search the map for sniper fire incidents. I want […]
