House Majority Leader Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf will formally kickoff his campaign for the 14th District House seat on Wednesday, August 1. Come on down, enjoy a nice day at the beach, and be part of Pete’s reelection effort. He is currently being opposed by some teabagger Libertarian, as the GOP doesn’t have its sh*t together on this side of the county.

Got to love elected officials who lie about who’s supporting their re-election effort.

Grab-bag of Asshattery

Filed in National by on July 6, 2012 13 Comments

We did away with the asshat of the day posts a while ago (too much to keep up with). So today I offer a grab bag of asshattery.

First, we have New Hampshire Republican legislator Bob Kingsbury who claims that kindergarten leads to higher crime.

Contemptible Congress

Filed in National by on June 20, 2012 1 Comment

When I was a wee lad, I had the utmost respect for Congress. I was in awe of my then Congressman, Byron Rodgers (D-Denver) who was the essence of a public servant. I was good friends with Congresswoman Pat Schroeder and Congressman & Senator Tim Wirth (who was a neighbor). That all changed after I moved to DC and began working for the government. I discovered that many of the 539 Members of Congress (including the delegates from DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Virgin Islands) didn’t really give a damn about their constituents. It was all about getting face time on TV to make it seem as though they were doing something.

This afternoon, Rep. Darrell Issa, chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, pushed through a resolution holding Attorney General Eric Holder in “Contempt of Congress.” Better add my name to that resolution, Issa, because I hold you and the Teabag 112th Congress in the utmost contempt. Obstruction is the motto of this Congress.

Taking the Klown Kar Show on the Road

It seems as though Delaware isn’t a big enough stage for the egotistical would be lawman, Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Christopher. Now his show is going on the road. Granted it isn’t very far, only over to Carroll County, MD, but it seems as though Jeff needs to take his grifter antics to empty the […]

See What Crazy Eileen Started – UPDATED

Filed in National by on May 21, 2012 13 Comments

We all remember Crazy Eileen, one of the first birthers to go public. Well, Arizona, not satisfied with being the batshit crazy place it’s become, has just added a new ingredient to the mix – birtherism. Their Secretary of State has indicated he may not allow President Obama’s name to appear on the ballot because he’s not convinced he was born in the US.

Tipping His Canoe into the Race

Filed in Delaware by on May 17, 2012

It seems as though Jack Markell might have a primary opponent. Magnolia resident Doug Beatty, whose only claim to fame is being the son of actor Ned Beatty, has announced that he is going to challenge Markell in the Democratic primary. That is if he can raise the filing fee.

In what has to be the biggest understatement of the year, Beatty said that he is “an extreme long shot” but thinks he can win if he can get on the ballot. I think he’s watched The Candidate too many times. His run is more like the wet dream Bobby had in Deliverance.
