Delaware Liberal

This (being an economic stimulus program) is open only to liberal bloggers.

In a desperate attempt to lure tourists back to a country plagued by radiation fears and constant earthquakes, the Japan Tourism Agency’s proposed an unprecedented campaign – 10,000 free roundtrip tickets.

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn't want any tax increases on the wealthy and has been an opponent of the Occupy Wall Street movement...... and Ralph Nader wants him to run for President, a few weeks after praising Sarah Palin's intelligence. Other than Republicans, there is no politician I hate with a blinding passion more than Ralph Nader.

Kovach says he is not a career politician even though he has participated as a candidate in three elections for two offices and preparing to run in another election for another higher office. He has won twice and lost once. Likewise, John Carney has participated as a candidate in four elections for three offices, and we assume he is running for reelection. He has won three times and lost once. They both look like career politicians to me. And only one of them is lying to pretend he is not.

And it looks like she has the full support of David Anderson and the teabag idiots downstate. Indeed, Anderson refers to her as the only conservative in the race for the Republican nomination to challenge John Carney. I really wonder what Tom Kovach ever did to the teabaggers. He talks a good game and appeared at all the rallies. I suppose no one from New Castle County is welcome in the Delaware Republican Party when the teabaggers are in control. But then again, as Frank Knotts points out on Delaware Hatred, Sussex County bigots will not like Rose Izzo because she has an accent. A New York accent. And I also think Rose lives in New Castle County.

Check out the sheepish Stolz representative caught emerging from a literal back room deal session during the Barley Mill meeting last night. The rezoning was tabled. There is more at Nancy's blog.

Al Mascitti posted the interview from this morning as a podcast. Before you click on that link and listen to me talk about my take in Occupy Wall Street, you should know that LiberalGeek is my hero. He did every bit of the heavy lifting to get this thing done.

"No one gets to define Frank Knotts except for God and Frank Knotts" --- Frank Knotts, proving that third person speaking is not just for Bob Dole anymore. For background on this statement, apparently he is being criticized for being a RINO now, which blows my mind.

The New Castle County Council is scheduled to vote tonight whether to rezone 40 percent of the Barley Mill Plaza office complex to allow for a 1.6 million square foot commercial complex that will include a 450,000-square-foot shopping center. This rezoning is a "compromise plan" and is "necessary" to prevent an even larger mixed use complex from being built on the former duPont complex by Pam Scott's Stoltz Real Estate Partners. Some say Stoltz buffled with the threat of a larger complex, and Kovach fell hook, line and sinker for it.
