Around the Horn Friday: Now With Comments Turned On!
I would like to take a second at the beginning of this post to do a little self congratulation for DelawareLiberal. This week we had our single best day in history and we also passed the 250K hits mark. Way to go Jason and DV (and a little of me , Tom and Dr. Nick)! […]
Take Back Your Time Day
Those of you that know me, know that I have an addiction. I am addicted to travel. I am not in treatment and I’m not sure if I want your help with the monkey on my back. One of the podcasts that I listen to regularly is from Rick Steves, who hosts a public television […]
Karen Hughes Hangs It Up
One of the Bush stalwarts, Karen Hughes, has finally decided to call it quits. She is leaving her job as Under-Secretary of State where she was responsible for making sure that Bush Administration policy wasn’t misunderstood by the Islamic world. Mission Accomplished. The Muslim world gets it, and they hate it. Now we just need […]
Care Managers (or Why We Need Single-Payer Insurance)
Editors Note: I’ve been so in the weeds that I just got around to reading this excellent Liberalgeek post. Related Item: Principal (Health Insurance) Financial Group reported Monday that third-quarter operating earnings increased 23 percent to $312.9 million. The Financial Group is the business unit that figures out how to invest the obscene profits that […]
House Judiciary Committee: Know Thy E-Mail Client
As a geek, I hate stories like this. The House Judiciary Committee wanted to send out an email to all of the anonymous tipsters in the DoJ US Attorneys scandal to tell them how much of a premium they are putting on their anonymity. They didn’t want them to think that there was any way […]
20 Million Dollar “Whoops”
It looks like there is a problem with the Indian River Inlet Bridge that will cause it to be scrapped before it has been completed. Carolann Wickes should be ashamed of herself.
Programming Note: Todd Chappelle Playing in Bear
I was just showing off the song “I’m From Delaware” to some friends and noticed that Todd Chappelle is playing one of my old haunts (no pun intended), Stewarts on Saturday night at 7PM. I’m going to try to make it. Maybe you can, too.
Around the Horn Friday: Back in the Saddle Edition
Well, I have been pretty busy for the past few weeks with the new job, so I apologize to our readers for my lack of posting for the past few weeks (and you’re welcome, right-wingers). I was inspired by Drinking Liberally last night and I hope to ride that inspiration to make more frequent posts. […]
Oh No! Not Another Blue-Blooded President
I am disappointed to report that Barack Obama is related by blood to Dick Cheney and George Bush. Here I thought that he was the outsider, but all along he has been the Bushies’ candidate of choice. My favorite line come from the Obama campaign: Obviously, Dick Cheney is sort of the black sheep of […]
The Capitalists Abandon The Republicans
I honestly am a bit concerned about this story. The shift in power in Congress has resulted in the lobbyist money shifting from Republicans to Democrats, dramatically in some cases. The article has a major weakness, though. It suggests that industry may not be happy when Congress takes on some serious regulatory issues (greenhouse gases […]
Maybe Rudy is the Correct Choice
Which other candidate has actually declared their preparedness for alien invasion? Granted, given Rudy’s history, he’ll probably put the emergency center in the White House.
Around the Horn Friday: Leg Hall Shuffle Edition
There was quite a bit of news this week, including Jim Vaughn stepping down from the Senate, triggering potentially 2 special elections. Also Dave Burris has stepped down as Sussex County Chairman. Dave will be missed. On Vaughn, Dana and Stephen fire a parting shot at the Dixiecrat on the way out the door. I […]
