July 8 Open Thread: The Return of Rocket Man
Absolutely must-reading about the DuPont Chambers Works plant now owned by Chemours. And remember, DNREC has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of these poison peddlers forever. While we can’t go back in time, we can help to ensure that the victims are fairly compensated. Gee, maybe that FOIA-proof Economic council will hand them truckloads of cash […]
May 16 Open Thread: Democratic Voters, Like NASCAR Drivers, Turn Left
The Pennsylvania primaries saw many left-leaning Democrats defeat the mainstream party’s preferred candidates. Four of them were also backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. All four were women, and all won their Democratic primaries over men, including a couple of incumbents. The reason economic populism still resonates in despite record-low unemployment is that many […]
Open Thread Jan. 9: Bad Ideas Abound
Why not Oprah? Lots of reasons, but three of them are named Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz and Jenny McCarthy. Of all the many reasons to oppose such an idea, her ready embrace of a parade of charlatans is the one that perhaps should give us the most pause. Republicans don’t have the luxury of looking […]
Open Thread for Thursday, November 2, 2017
Oh, that pesky tax reform plan, always getting yelled at. Now some Republicans are upset because — brace yourself — they’re worried it will be portrayed as helping the rich while hurting the poor. Given that the lowest tax rate, applied to the lowest earners, would rise from 10% to 12%, you can see where […]
Open Thread For October 6, 2017
Obamacare Rates To Rise 25% In Delaware. Less than Highmark had requested. This is what Trump’s sabotaging of Obamacare looks like. Here’s one example. Here’s another. I mean, Iowa and Oklahoma. Not exactly D strongholds. Wilmington Eastside Project Seeks To Create Arts Habitat. I’m cautiously optimistic. Anything Tina Betz takes on has a chance of […]
Delaware Green Matters Forum
This Wednesday begins a 5-week forum series focusing on multiple environmental topics at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Newark (www.uufn.org) from 7-9pm.
The first topic is:
- February 3: Environmental Policy and You
Fearmongering = $$$
Republicans have been jumping on the bandwagon to criticize President Obama because of the failed terror attack on Christmas Day. Some have been using the incident for fundraising, look at Rep. Pete Hoekstra (who is running for governor of Michigan): They just don’t get it. The system didn’t “work” here. Far from it! It is […]
Holiday Gifts That Give Back
I’m sure many of you have had the experience of trying to shop for the person who has everything (I know I do). Before you buy them yet another gadget that they can’t use, think about giving gifts of charity. My family tried this last year, and it was a big hit. Below is a […]
PSA Press Release: Lake is Exonerated
Nancy Willing sent me this press release sent out by Frank Murphy today:
The Board of the Peoples Settlement Association today announced that Keith Lake, its Executive Director of 16 years, has been cleared of all allegations of misconduct. After a special investigation lasting more than one year, the State Auditor of Accounts provided Peoples Settlement with a report finding no evidence of illegal conduct or missing state funds. Representatives of Peoples Settlement recently met with the Auditor’s Office, and confirmed that Mr. Lake was exonerated of any wrongdoing.
It is funny how the same people keep popping up at all of these McDowell influenced organizations.
Around the Horn Sunday
This week’s roundup of local political news from around the Delaware blogosphere. We have two three new blogs this week. The last two weeks were all about Castle, Biden, and Zachary.
Bono Writes A Love Letter To America
International philanthropist Bono wrote an op-ed for today’s New York Times on why Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and what it means to the rest of the world: Well, I happen to be European, and I can project with the best of them. So here’s why I think the virtual Obama is the real […]
Dispatches From An Alternate Reality
Sean Hannity thinks George W. Bush deserves the Nobel Peace Prize War = peace Glenn Beck equates criticism of Fox News with the treatment of the Jewish people by Hitler. Seriously. BECK: When they’re done with Fox, and you decide to speak out on something. The old, “first they came for the Jews, and I […]
Wingnutland
We saw national and local winguts rend their own flesh when the United States lost the bid to host the Summer Olympics in 2016 and, on Friday morning, we watched again as these same wingnuts spit blood and other bile as the President of the United States was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Somebody in […]
