Helen Thomas Gets Her Seat Back
Looks like someone has finally come to their senses. Helen Thomas will be back in the front row of the White House Press Room. The press corps decided that she deserves to be up front after all. The best part is that as a result, Fox has been denied a front row seat. Instead, Fox […]
Why Jason May Miss All the Fun
California has decided to move their primary to February 5th next year. This means that if the Eagles win the Superbowl, Jason will only have 2 days of blogging before the whole shebang is over. Try fitting blogging in with the celebration that will be going on around here and you get essentially no Jasonic […]
Straight-Talk Express Hits a Snag
John McCain was on his bus yesterday and was asked his opinion about whether or not we should fund condom distribution in Africa to prevent AIDS. McCain stumbled, mumbled and dodged. He deferred to the President’s policy, or maybe not. My favorite quote: You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the […]
Around the Horn Friday: Think Spring Edition
Welcome to Around the Horn for Sunshine Week. The legislature was in session this week, so they generated some headlines with some of our favorite blogs. Citizens for a Better Sussex has got a website up and running, but it hurts my head to look at it… Hube is annoyed that Special Ed students can […]
“It is Normal to Dismiss U.S. Attorneys” and Other Myths
One of our readers took issue with the US Attorneys “scandal” as a non-story. I told them that it is a story and here is another nail in the non-story coffin. The argument, as I understand it, is that since Clinton dismissed all but one of 41’s U.S.A’s and Reagan did a similar purge upon […]

One Month Later
I just looked at the calendar and realized that it was month ago today that Jason went clean. Luckily for us it was the shortest month, so it barely feels like 28 days. It really is amazing how your life changes with a little blog to take care of. Very much like a child, I […]
Don’t Pile on da Rabbit!
I almost feel sorry for Gonzales. Not only did the NYT call for his resignation, but now even his own party is calling for his head (almost literally). John Cornyn (R-TX) : “In Texas, we believe in having a fair trial and then we have the hanging.” Ouch. John Sununu is also calling for his […]
Cathcart Takes House Majority Position
Dick Cathcart (R-My District) has been selected by the Republicans in the State House as their Majority Leader. As a result he had to step down from his chairmanship of the joint finance committee. So now the battle is on for that position. Potential candidates include Booth, Miro and Oberle. There was definitely some softness […]
Shakeup at DoJ
The calls for Alberto Gonzales’ firing are having some effect. Today his top aide Kyle Sampson resigned. Today an email exchange between Sampson and Harriet Miers discussing Attorneys that should be pushed out was released. The exchange shows a link directly to Bush and Rove to the firings. Now the wingers will be flocking to […]
Balance? Never on Sunday
Media Matters has done a survey of the Sunday morning talk shows and found that they are still more conservative than liberal. The leading theory on the imbalance in the past has been that the Republic Party had controlled both houses of Congress, so they got more time. Since the Dems won both houses one […]
Bryon Short in the 7th
Last night the Democrats in the 7th selected Bryon Short to be their candidate to replace Wayne Smith. Short was a Carper aide for many years both in the House and while he was Governor. His opponent will be Jim Bowers. We already know that the right has put out the word about this race […]
The Republican Choice is Clear: None of the Above
According to a new survey Republican voters don’t like any of their choices at this point. Last night on Colbert I saw him endorse Gingrich with this quote, “You have my support, because I’ll never vote for a Mormon and you are the best adulterer we’ve got.” I wonder if it’s better to have no […]
