Staton Off and Running
Not only is Andy Staton the only announced Democrat running for the new state senate district down here in Sussex (and I’m in the new district), he’s also the only announced candidate to have filed a campaign finance report.
Even Miss Piggy Knows about FAUX News
Miss Piggy decided to take on FOX News during a press conference in London last week. How long do you think it will be before Rush and the other know-nothings start railing against Miss Piggy?
Me No Speaka Da English
Apparently, you need to speak the Queen’s English in order to run for office in Arizona. At least that’s what some county judge ruled in Yuma today.
Campaign Finance Reports – KWS Edition
End of year campaign finance reports were due by January 20, 2012, and of course, KWS filed hers late. It makes for some interesting reading.
It seems that a number of individuals and law firms with an interest in the captive insurance industry like KWS enough to give her money. Now mind you, captive insurance does nothing for the consumer. It isn’t to benefit Delaware consumers; captive insurance is insurance for corporations. It isn’t to benefit our state, and, despite her claims to the contrary, the captive bureau does not fill the state’s coffers. So why does KWS push the captive bureau so hard? Because it makes her donors (lawyers and law firms who work in captive insurance) more money. And in turn, they kick-back money to her campaign.
Soylent Green is People
My guess is that it was a slow day in the Oklahoma State Senate. Why else would this rethuglican legislator introduce this bill? An Oklahoma Republican is pushing a bill to outlaw the use of human fetuses in food, because, as he says, “there is a potential that there are companies that are using aborted […]
Gabby Giffords Resigning from Congress
Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords has announced that she will be resigning from Congress this week, 54 weeks after surviving an assassination attempt.
Newt – Answer the Friggin Question
In typical teabag-rethuglican manner, Newt Gingrich, who is closing in on a win in tomorrow’s primary in South Carolina, attacked CNN newsman and debate anchor John King for asking a legitimate question about his ex-wife’s interview with ABC News.
Happy Birthday, Dr. King
Yesterday would have been Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s 82 birthday. He had a dream……… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smEqnnklfYs&feature=fvsr[/youtube]
Tom Corbett Hates Poor People
Why is it that rethuglican elected officials hate poor people? It seems as though Tom Corbett, who usually scurries away from television cameras like a cockroach when the lights come on, has begun a war on Pennsylvania’s poor. Republican Gov. Tom Corbett has announced a major assault on the food stamp program that feeds 1.8 […]
Scott Who?
You all remember Scott Spencer, the guy who claimed he was running for Congress in 2010, but after all his bluster and hubbub about rockets and trains, didn’t even file for the Democratic primary? Apparently he’s now running for Mayor of Wilmington. While he passed himself off as a progressive, his true colors came out during numerous appearances on the Fatman’s show down here in Sussex, where he espoused his anti-abortion rights and anti-labor stands.
Parish Does the Right Thing
We’ve all smacked around Sussex County Clerk of the Peace George Parish for his vehement opposition to both civil unions and marriage equality. But yesterday he did the correct thing and presided over the county’s first same-sex civil union. The ceremony united Milton Town Councilwoman Mary Hudson and her long-time partner Lynn Ekelund. Parish is […]
Mitch Crane Speaks Out on BCBSD-Highmark
Mitch Crane, the progressive Democratic candidate for Insurance Commissioner, issued a press release yesterday regarding KWS’s turning her back once again on the people of Delaware by approving the merger of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware and Highmark. “This is a bad decision for Delaware. Once again this Insurance Commissioner has put the interests […]
