The Republican War on Women in Gory Detail
The definition of the Republican War on Women heated up yesterday with Reince Priebus’ remark that compared women to caterpillars, President Obama saying the Augusta should allow women members and recent polling that shows a huge gender gap between Obama and Romney. As much as the GOP and the Washington Post say that there is no war on women, there is as Rachel Maddow shows us. Below the video is a transcript of the segment if you want to read along instead.

Romney Criticizes Obama for Harvard Ties
With what could only be described as a bad case of amnesia, Mitt Romney has criticized President Obama again for spending “too much time at Harvard”. Yes, Obama went to Harvard for 3 years and got one degree. Romney went there for 4 years and received two degrees.
Gingrich Group Files for Bankruptcy
As you already know, the Newt is in Delaware campaigning. Yeah, we haven’t figured that one out yet, unless he’s stopping in Greenville with his hand out. Meanwhile in Georgia, “Newt Inc.”, has filed bankruptcy in an example of capitalism at its finest. Tiffany’s is very concerned.
Subsidies: Big Oil and Others
If I give you $1 every year, would you give me $59 in return every year? Chances are, you wouldn’t. However, if I were an oil company and you were a member of Congress that’s exactly what happens, except you aren’t giving out your money.

More Fisker Follies
I’m a bit concerned that any state official could have been “stunned” that Fisker was waffling. I’m troubled that Alan Levin, the director of the Delaware Economic Development Office, was “shocked”. The article goes on to interview more politicos who talk about phone calls they are making. But more importantly, TNJ talks to some of the would-be workers who are affected.
So as Fisker holds a gun to the head of the State of Delaware demanding that federal loans be released earlier, what is/was Plan B for Boxwood? Did we put all our eggs in one basket and hope for the best? Or does Delaware have alternative plans to get these auto workers back to work?
That’s What She Said (Part II)
One of the best places for hard-hitting political news is on “The View”. So it should be of no surprise to South Caroline Governor Nikki Haley that she got grilled by some of the best in the business: Barbara Walters, Joyce Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Mediaite writes: She wanted to know about Haley’s […]
Markell’s Elephant in the Room: Fisker
We were conned like everyone else. But for three years the Boxwood plant remains empty and will likely remain so. No 1,500 jobs. And with the recent news articles in the Times, WSJ and TNJ, we’ve learned that Fisker was playing the long con. Now that we all see we’ve been bamboozled, what will Markell’s reaction be? After months of publicly ignoring the elephant in the room, what will be the Administration’s response be today and in the future? What is Markell’s Plan B for Boxwood?
That’s What She Said
The First Lady or a potential First Lady does not win or lose elections except maybe in France. Yesterday morning, Politico did one of its standard fluff piece on Ann Romney with the headline, “Ann Romney is the Romney Democrats fear most“. Politico might have a point, given that Mitt Romney has the personality of a slice of Wonder Bread. When asked about her husband’s stiffness, Ann Romney replied:
“Well, you know, I guess we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out.”
So, Ann Romney goes from a person who Democrats need to fear in the morning to a late night joke by lunch time.
Question of the Day
If a business only exists for profits and not for jobs, should the government be facilitating their growth or regulating them into oblivion?
