Romney Bribes His Way to the Right
It looks like FSP’s dog in the Presidential fight, Romney, has been making inroads with the wingers by bribing their way into their hearts. His foundation contributed between 10 and 15 grand to each of three winger organizations in Mass. Nothing like greasing the skids a little, eh? This dovetails nicely with the money that […]
MADD Reverses Stance
It looks like Mothers Against Drunk Driving has decided to actually be against drunk driving. Originally they had said that OCPD had acted properly, however now they think that Atkins should have been taken off of the road. This was prompted by the findings of the House Ethics Committee earlier this week.
Dems Dump FOX over Obama Comments
There has been a big debate about a debate. Faux News was going to host a debate of Democratic candidates in Nevada. First John Edwards announced that he would not participate. Presumably his gaydar was going off. Then on Thursday night Roger Ailes made some comments about Democrats (I actually thought the joke was more […]
Restroom Rights Bill
Rep Joseph Booth (R-Georgetown) has introduced legislation requiring retail stores to provide bathroom access to customers with medical requirements even if the store doesn’t have “public” restrooms. Hmmm, I wonder if Mr. Booth owns stock in a company that makes those little urinal cakes… I smell scandal, or maybe it’s the guy with irritable bowel […]
Around the Horn Friday: “License, Registration and Proof of Legislator Status” Edition
Well in a week where John Atkins was found to have brought the Legislature into disrepute (quite a feat in Dover) and The PSC holds open hearings on new sources of power, we have our honor roll or notable posts this week. Last week I screwed up and missed Tommywonk in the roundup. Never again, […]
Is Jim DeMint(R-SC) Damaging National Security?
Yesterday an anonymous Senator blocked the Intelligence Authorization Act for FY2007. Congressional Quarterly has identified that Senator as FSP Golden Boy, Jim DeMint. CQ says: [Sen. DeMint] is said to be concerned about provisions of the bill that require the Bush administration to report to Congress on its detention policies, such as those pertaining to […]
Bush Impeached! (in VT)
Across the state of Vermont, town meetings were held with mayors, councilmen and some apparently very angry voters. In meeting after meeting resolutions were presented to impeach the President and Vice-President. At least 36 towns had voted for impeachment by the end of the evening. This is an effort to convince Congressman Peter Welch to […]
PSC Meetings
Well, we missed one already, but the PSC is holding 3 meetings this week on the energy proposals before they deny all three so they don’t look anti-windfarm when they pick the coal. Tommywonk has the scoop (and a hell of a nice set of facts). 7 p.m. March 6, House Chambers, Legislative Hall, Dover […]
Air America gets a New Lease
Air America got a second chance today as the Green Family purchased it. I have listened to Air America as I traveled around the country (no stations reach DE yet) and I really enjoyed several shows. Unfortunately, some of the hosts that I loved are gone (Franken and Garofalo). It will be interesting to see […]
What you Missed While Ann said Bad Words
I hate Ann Coulter. (Hube, that means I give her a 1 out of 10). There are, indeed, words that describe her, but the best one is on my “never use” list. What Ann did for Mitt Romney was provide cover fire. The disgrace is not really that Ann Followed him with a typical screed, […]
NYT Editorial About How W can “Come to Jesus”
I have this little fantasy about GWB. In it he has been asked a large number of little questions over the course of his “war of terror”(Great, now I’m quoting Borat). Each question alone is a minor concession. But when you look at the aggregate of these decisions, the results are not America. In my […]
Around the Horn Friday: Wayne Smith Cash-in Edition
The departure of Wayne Smith this week dominated several of the local blogs. Some of the best coverage was by First State Politics. Let it never be said that I don’t give credit when it is due. Of course, Dave is also calling in the reinforcements. This could be a fun election. Hopefully it is […]
WOW! I didn’t see this coming…
So Rick Santorum found himself a new part-time job. He will be a contributer on a Network “News” Channel. Which one? Wait for it…Wait for it… Ah you got it. At least I won’t have to see him. Hube, do tell us how he does.
