Coming Tuesday: The Entire 62 Project Unveiled.

Coming Tuesday: The Entire 62 Project Unveiled.

The Bataan Death March of projects reaches its ultimate destination tomorrow. Both here on DL and on the Al Mascitti Show beginning at 10 am. You can listen right here. The entire 147th General Assembly legislative roster ranked from 1-62, based on legislators' careers, not just the past couple of months. I think the project got bogged down b/c, although it's really easy to write about the best legislators, the worst legislators, and the most eccentric legislators, there was a group of legislators ranked somewhere between 40 and 50 who were not particularly interesting to me. Legislators who were just there. I lost my mojo. Finally got my mojo workin' last weekend. Anyway, once the list is posted, I'll tweak the list before the start of the 148th to account for injustices, new info, and, of course, to address both the departed and the newcomers. Since the list is completed and will not change before tomorrow, feel free to predict your #1 and #62.

Sunday Open Thread [11.23.14]

Bill Maher, at the top of his New Rules segment on his HBO show Friday night, accurately described the current political situation. Maher said: “Now that they’ve wrestled his approval rating down to the basement, and grabbed control of both houses of Congress, Republicans must explain why this guy (Obama) keeps kicking your ass. It’s like one of those action movies where you tie the hero up, chain him to a chair, then he headbutts you unconscious, gets up, and leaves a note signed Django.” Come inside for the video... I love that President Obama is now the sole Democratic agenda setter in Washington. The bipartisanship-seeking cowards that call themselves Democrats, namely Tom Carper, can learn from Obama's example. Let's have more of it. If the Republicans even attempt to touch Obamacare, Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid, the President vetos and every Democrat .... every Democrat.... shuts the fuck up and supports the President. I am looking directly at you, Tom. As a side note, does Tom Carper retire in 2018? I suspect not, but there is a backlog of Democrats piling up waiting for him to move on (Biden, Markell, Carney).
The Weekly Addresses

The Weekly Addresses

President Obama speaks about his Immigration Accountability Action. Governor Markell has not posted his weekly message yet. We will post it once we receive it. The West Wing Week follows the President through the week from his trip to Asia and Australia up until his Immigration speech on Thursday. It also features an entire summit audience singing Happy Birthday to our Vice President Uncle Joe Biden. And a new feature video from the White House, a behind the scenes talk with the President before his address on Thursday. Come inside for the videos.
