Delaware Liberal

I don't watch any TV news because if you know a little bit about what is going on, you know what complete garbage TV news has become. Seriously, if I happen to be in the same room as a TV tuned to say... ABC's version of the evening news, I can't make it two minutes before yell, "Way to quote "The Club for Growth" like it is a legitimate source you morons!" This is distracting to other TV watchers, who don't know that ABC news is quoting right-wing press releases as though they landed some kind of scoop. Some people I know used to watch CNN, but when ratings started to fall, CNN thought they'd retool as "the other Fox News" which was a f#cking stupid idea on so many levels. Now they are paying the price for that stupidity.

I am passing this on from one of readers.

I don't know what all your positions are on this matter. I have very strong opinions on this drone campaign and I was wondering if, in the liberal spirit of the great dissenters, you post a link to this petition on the White House web site. Would your editorial staff support this. Would you persuade your readers to sign?

Here is the link to the petition. First, to say we have an editorial staff would imply that we pay people to edit DL. Jason still owes us all checks from 2006. I'd rather call the 9 or 10 of us freelance volunteers. Second, I don't know where all of my peers here at DL stand on this, but I for one do encourage everyone to sign it. And I say that not as a wide eyed purist who is criticizing the President because I didn't get my single issue pony. The area where Obama has let us liberals down the most is in the area of civil liberties. While he ended outright torture by our own government, and while he has tried to shut down Guantanamo but was stopped by Congress, but this Kill List with no oversight or due process is a tad bit far for even my pragmatic and practical tastes.

And some of you are breathing a sign of relief. Jonathan Husband, the Engineering and Environmental Services manager in the county’s Special Services Department, has announced today that he is running for County Executive.

Really Tom? Really? Tom Gordon has appropriated the Obama/Biden campaign logo for his own in an obvious attempt to directly tie his campaign for County Executive to the President's reelection effort.

The big problem is that it is a "Certificate of Live Birth" and not a "Birth Certificate," which according to this reputable website, http://tpo.net/certoflivebirth , is not an indication that…

Contrary to our resident teabagger RustyDils, the President has a 19 point lead in California. No, Rusty, car elevators do not endear Romney to Californians. Meanwhile, Michigan becomes strong Obama territory, and Obama takes a slight lead in Colorado, although not a big enough lead for Colorado to lose its Toss up status.

This is pretty typical for the reality impaired GOP. They want to force insurance companies to cover pre-existing conditions without an individual mandate that would create a big enough risk pool to pay for that coverage. I have no doubt that they will propose some magical unicorn financing system which will make the system viable. Perhaps Iraq War oil revenue...?
