Kerry Questions Swift Boat Contributer
When I saw the headline, I must admit that I was thinking that this was going to be some silent intrigue piece about how mad they were at each other but didn’t say anything, but that wasn’t the case. This is a very interesting read and a view. This guy, Sam Fox is up for […]
Bob Ney gets his Soap-on-a-Rope
Today is the day that Bob Ney (R-Personal Gain) goes into prison. It is a minimum security prison, bit with very little privacy and even less in the Scottish-golf-outing activity. He will be in the prison with Survivor winner Richard Hatch. If Hatch keeps up his nudist ways, this could be cruel and unusual punishment […]
Calling All Wingnuts!
From the extensive network of sources that I have (1 so far) comes this nice tip: The Delaware GOP is calling for help in the special election to replace Wayne Smith. Our own FSP posted this plea on RedState.com: “What we need more than anything is boots for election day.” …um, well for boots, he […]
Libby Jury is Strange
So I must admit that I have not spent as much time with minutia of the Libby trial. But I have heard some weird goings-on lately. First they all (save one) wore matching red shirts or something to the courthouse. Then yesterday I heard that they were wearing business attire on courtroom days since the […]
Is this the End of H.B. 4?
With the departure of Wayne Smith, the future of H.B. 4 is in doubt. Wayne was essentially the ticket to re-voting on the bill. He changed his vote to “no” with the intention of invoking a rule that allows anyone on the prevailing side to call a “do over” and ask for a re-vote in […]
Louis Farrakhan gives farewall speech
I have to say, Black History Month has really gotten away from me. A reminder came this morning when I heard a report about a speech billed by Louis Farrakhan as his last on NPR. Love him or hate him, I’m somewhere in between, he is influential. I know people that attended the Million Man […]
Open thread: What have they been right about?
I thought I would just throw out this question and see where people went with it. What has the Bush administration been right about? Not the Liberators moniker, not energy policy, not tax policy, probably not even about the health of the economy (Alan Greenspan said this weekend that we could be in recession by […]
If you resign can you be tried as a traitor?
The British newspaper The Times has a report today that top US generals are prepared to quit the military if they are ordered to attack Iran. It could be that the Commander-in-Chief would have to hop on his mountain bike and lead the troops to victory in Iran, Napoleon-style.
North Korea as yet Another Renouncement of the NeoCon Agenda
So last week the Bushies lauded progress with North Korea. This development, which is a policy shift for the U.S., basically goes back to similar terms of a deal reached by the Clinton Administration, which the N. Koreans cheated on. This cheating was held up as a huge example of Clinton policy failure. Then the […]
Vilsack quits the race
Looks like the first one to drop out of the 2008 race is Tom Vilsack. The word on the street is that his first quarter fund raising was on pace for 1.3 Million. This is about what Obama raised in one evening… Hillary makes that much in interest each month. OK, let’s place bets on […]
Delaware Executions Put on Hold
Today all Delaware inmates on Death Row were granted class status and they will all progress through the court system as a class-action suit. Their complaint is that the method of lethal injection that the state uses is cruel and unusual punishment. I think this is good news. I’ll make no bones about it, this […]
Thursday Tracking Poll Results
Wow! Dave Burris will be the next Congressman from Delaware. Sorry Mike Castle, but Dave is the Barak Obama of Delaware politics. 🙂 Dave actually tied with “Other Republican” for the poll John Carney and Jack Markell tied for 3rd place, but combined they could not match the juggernaut that is Dave Burris. Congrats Congressman.
Around the Horn Friday: Gave up Paul Smith for Lent edition
Hopefully Delaware Liberal is getting its mojo back. Like us or hate us, we are running strong. BIG shout-outs to Tommywonk and DoctorNick for their contibutions. I am feeling good about keeping this bandwagon rolling. The best news is that there’s only 1 year, 10 months and 27 days left of this corrupt administration. Although […]
