A Little Hot in Here

Thank goodness for August. If the dog days didn’t cool down, we probably would have had the hottest summer on record.  As it was, Delaware experienced our third warmest summer on record since 1895. I’m glad that the Democrats are finally beginning to campaign on effects of climate change on our world. Summer 2012 officially […]

Mitt’s Just A Regular Guy

There’s a Google Doc circulating among conservative websites written by Hal Prewitt who bought one of Mitt Romney’s homes back in 2009. The doc, if you choose to read it, lauds Romney as a regular guy.

Ours is a factual story that provides a rare glimpse and insight into the real Mitt Romney. Does he really relate to the average American?

Yeah, a $5+ million dollar ski house of over 9,500 square feet is something all Americans can relate to.

The Eagles: Weak One

There was a lot wrong with the Eagles in yesterday’s win — a lot. The offensive line had a miserable day and the turnovers were absolutely horrendous. However, as Inside The Iggles writes, “So while we dissect the shortcomings this week–as we well should–let’s keep in mind the Eagles won a game they should have […]

The Etch-a-Sketch Campaign Begins

After losing the National Security issue and realizing the the Middle Class is about to leave the Republican Party, Romney’s campaign is in full etch-a-sketch mode.

After months of saying that he’d repeal “Obamacare”, Romney is now saying, “I’m not getting rid of all of healthcare reform.”

The Middle Class Is Ours, Byatch

When Obama-Biden run into real Americans, good things happen. When Romney runs into real Americans, it’s always a photo op gone bad.

Who Won The Battle of the Conventions?

Filed in National by on September 7, 2012 14 Comments

Pandora commented in a thread with the following smart thought:

One of the biggest things the average voter will take away from these conventions is the chatter surrounding them – and the positive chatter surrounding the DNC will influence people. Of course, this feeling can be lost at any time before the election, but as it stands now the DNC won the battle of conventions.

Grandma Catches Paul Ryan In A Lie

Grandma Catches Paul Ryan In A Lie

We all know that Paul Ryan is a fit dude, his addiction to P90x is legendary. What we didn’t know till last week that Ryan at one point as a pretty-good marathoner. On a radio interview last week Ryan said that his personal best time for the 26.1 mile race was “. . . under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something.” That’s really good. How good is that? He’d probably finish in the top 10 this year’s Delaware Marathon with a 6 minute 50 second mile pace.

But wait, Ryan is not that fast, not by a long shot. Ryan’s one marathon on record, Grandma’s Marathon 1990, has Ryan running a 4 hour and 1 minute marathon. Big difference.

Things I Learned from the GOP Convention

Filed in National by on September 1, 2012 12 Comments

Mitt Romney had a little get together in Florida this week with some of his closest angry white friends. From this convention, I learned a few things about the Republican Party. Okay, maybe not learned them, maybe I just had the ideas reinforced.
