Rush Limbaugh Will Agree To Contraception Coverage If Georgetown Student Posts Sex Tapes Online

92 Comments
LIMBAUGH: "So Miss Fluke, and the rest of you Feminazis, here’s the deal. If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you to have sex. We want something for it. We want you post the videos online so we can all watch." Has any Republican denounced this pervert's comments yet? Know what, Republicans? Keep going down this path. See you in November.

Adventures in Subscribing to the Digital News Journal

So the NJ has put up their paywall, and you are limited to 5 articles (per week? per month?) and they helpfully count down the number of free articles you have left in a box in the lower right hand of your screen every time you click on a new article. I waited until the paywall finally went into effect to sign up (for the record, I actually buy this paper every day I am in town) and preserve my access to online articles. I've tried subscribing twice online and finally called today to figure out why I still can't get the NJ online.

First, wouldn't the Blunt Amendment* allow an anti-vaccine boss deny coverage for immunizations? Second, if you are a member of a Catholic Parish could you be denied birth control coverage?

Yes, Andrew Brietbart is dead. He apparently had heart issues, and he just collapsed. I can't and won't descend to his level, spewing vitriol as he did following the death of Ted Kennedy. But I won't praise or laud him either. What I will say is that he was only 43 years old, and no one should die that young, especially when he has a young family.

Delaware Liberal Tracking Poll Results — Jeff Cragg

You people are harsh. Jeff Cragg is still basically unknown to almost all of Delaware, including the politically knowledgeable that read DL. All we know about him is that he is a businessman who is a conservative Republican. And that was enough to give him 48% disapproval rating. 24% just don't know enough about him to make any judgments. 28% approve of him. As an aside, Mr. Cragg bears a striking resemblance to myself, so much so that I feel compelled to declare that I am not Jeff Cragg and I am not running for Governor as a Republican.

"Rick should scat. Mitt Romney needs to be left alone to limp across the finish line, so he can devote his full time and attention to losing to President Obama." -- Maureen Dowd. The problem is Santorum is inconveniently leading in three of the 10 states up next Tuesday, which includes Ohio.

I just want to take this time out and compliment Pandora

for truly wonderful blogging on the Red Clay Referendum over the past few weeks. She educated me and I think many others on an issue that needs more attention, and I hope she continues blogging about Red Clay and other educational issues. Generally speaking, education is one of those issues that everyone says they care about but if you press them on it, no one knows a thing about the true troubles facing our educational systems nor do they have any ideas on what solutions are appropriate. It is only if you have "skin" in the game as a parent or teacher are you in any way knowledgeable about the issue, especially at a local district level. I am sure I just insulted someone there, but I only mean to see it is easy for people like me, who is not a teacher and not a parent, to have no idea what is going on at district level. Delaware is blessed with wonderful and very knowledgeable education bloggers, John Young, Kilroy and Mike Matthews to name a few. We are lucky here at Delaware Liberal to have Pandora counted among them now.
