I am fighting off a stomach bug or food poisoning. So I am home slowly recovering and compiling a Polling Report for later this afternoon. So today’s open thread is just going to be a fun video:

A gorgeous Sunday and it seems to be pretty quiet everywhere — much of the political world is still wrapped up in the Aurora murders.

Two more days til the weekend, but if you are anything like me you are still working overtime to escape this heinous weather. There’s a massive and serious drought in the Midwest — where crops of corn and soy are suffering. That means higher prices for food (and maybe gas) shortly. Even in Delaware, the […]

I am moving the Polling Report to the open thread today because I didn’t have enough polls for a full polling report today and I wanted to post these polls before they got stale (they are all from Friday and over the weekend) and I didn’t have anything for the Open thread, so I am killing two birds with one stone.

The Washington Post reported that Mitt Romney had turned over twenty-three years of tax returns to John McCain’s vice-presidential team. Those returns covered Romney’s entire Bain career, from 1984 until 2002, and also included his returns from 2002 until 2008.

Whatever was in those returns was so god awful that McCain rejected Romney and chose Sarah Palin as the better option.

Sarah. Palin.

It is a nice, rainy Saturday meaning that all of our plants get watered for free for a change. It is also a busy Saturday as pretty much everyone I know in the city is knocking on doors, looking for votes for candidates. And it’s Bastille Day! The closest great celebration of this is over at Fairmount Park at the Eastern Penitentiary, featuring a Marie Antoinette hauled off to the guillotine yelling, “Let them eat Tastycakes!” with thousands of Tastycakes launched off into the crowd. Fun!
