Tone Deaf
I’m really not certain if writing this post is worth it. I’m also not certain I want to go down this road again. Truth is… I’m weary. Even sadder, I’m tuning out. First, this isn’t a post about policy – it’s about tone. On that note, I have a few questions for certain Progressives/Liberals/Democrats: What […]
Notochord* Detected

Time To Rethink Party Switches?
Two prominent party switchers have gone down to defeat in this election cycle. Republican turned Democrat Arlen Specter was upset by Joe Sestak in the PA-Sen primary and last night Democrat turned Republican Parker Griffith was defeated in the AL-05 Republican primary by Mo Brooks (decisively enough in a 3-way race that no runoff will be needed).

If you watch the video below one thing stands out – Obama is not laughing. “There was apparently a headline after the Massachusetts election. The Village Voice announced that Republicans win a 41-59 majority. It’s worth […]

“When Democrats Retreat, You Better Watch Out Or You Will Get Run Over”
Those are John Cole’s words, which go a long way in describing my feelings about the chances of HCR getting better and not worse. Yesterday, in one of John’s typically snarky posts he asked: My only question- which house blue dog will be the first to introduce a bill extend the Bush tax cuts to […]
Breaking: Delaware Legislative Travel
Update: The News Journal published Ginger Gibson’s article today, “Legislator’ travel tabs often missing”. State lawmakers can travel when and where they want on the taxpayer’s tab. snip Getting into a jet at taxpayers’ expense isn’t difficult in either chamber. In fact, no one interviewed for this article could recall a time when a travel […]
