Chris Coons Fumbles in His First Week

Filed in National by on November 18, 2010 30 Comments

Our new Senator, Chris Coons, made his way onto a list today, and it isn’t the list of independent thinkers.  Today, in a Judiciary Committee meeting, the committee voted unanimously to approve the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA).  The act seems, at first blush, to be a good idea.  The goal is to […]

Unshiny Objects

Filed in National by on November 8, 2010 9 Comments

We’ve had enough of the shiny objects that take our eyes off the ball of governing locally and statewide.  Christine O’Donnell has had a house dropped on her, Sharon Angle has run away from the press for good and Charlie Crist is cleaning out his desk.  I grant you that the Protack sockpuppetry and the […]

Unstable Isotope and I got a chance to interview Chris Coons on Thursday afternoon.  I will post these over the next day or so. The first episode is two questions, one about the impact that the huge budget of Christine O’Donnell has had on his campaign.  The second question was about Mr. Coons’ thoughts on […]

Get a Brain Moran

Filed in National by on October 27, 2010 28 Comments

Well O’Donnell thug and journeyman political loser, Matt Moran is back in the news.  This time he is at the center of the O’Donnell-WDEL video lawsuit. Make sure you watch the video.  You can clearly see Christine prompting Matt to do his job as a pitbull.  It’s disgusting. O’Donnell’s campaign manager, Matt Moran, called WDEL […]

Filed in National by on October 16, 2010 11 Comments

Do you remember all of the breathless claims of Republicans and Tea Partiers talking about their “Canadian friend” that hates the Canadian healthcare system and came to the US for a really important surgery?  Yeah, as you may have guessed, it is probably bogus.  Last week, I heard a radio interview with the author of […]

O’Donnell’s Pants Are On Fire

Filed in Delaware by on October 14, 2010 12 Comments

Remember last night when she claimed that Chris Coons has spent $5,300 on a “Men’s Fashion Show”?  Talking Points Memo has gotten to the bottom of the claim.  Guess what, it’s a lie. But just like her “Man-pants” and “I never said that Mike Castle is gay” there is an implication about Chris Coons sexuality.  […]

Her Masters Voice

Filed in National by on October 12, 2010 68 Comments

Celia Cohen is doing it again.

Apparently her masters, many conveniently located in the sponsorship section of her blog, are done with Chip Flowers. So when they need a political hit-man, Celia takes the job. Why not, she has taken out Richard Korn in the past. Chip is just another upstart that has made some powerful enemies in his rise through Delaware politics. And we all know that Celia doesn’t take kindly to people that make enemies with her Delaware Way friends.

Guest Post From Mark Brunswick: What Chris Bullock Doesn’t Say

Reverend Christopher Bullock has an interesting opinion article on African-Americans and the November elections in the News Journal today. Here’s the link, http://www.delawareonline.com/comments/article/20101011/OPINION07/10110313/African-Americans-increasingly-disillusioned-with-political-process. I agree with most of what he says but I think there’s more.
