A Stray Thought
I think anyone who anxiously awaits The Rapture should not serve in public office since they really don’t have any incentive in making a better future. In fact, it could be in their religious interest to make the future worse. /sorta snark
United We Stand
According to a new survey it looks as if Americans are more united than divided. Nate Silver (538) breaks it down. The questions cover a variety of issues, asking the participants to rate (on a scale of 0-10) whether they agree or disagree. You can take the test here. Luckily, Nate does the hard work […]
My Parental Dilemma
Last night over dinner my 11 year old daughter announced that her science teacher doesn’t like Joe Biden. After exchanging a look with my husband I asked, “Why would you think that?” She then proceeded to explain… “When we were watching the Inauguration in class Mr. XXXX said that finally Delaware is rid of him.” […]
Religion and Politics
Remember the days when one wasn’t supposed to discuss Religion and Politics in polite society? Just like announcing how much you paid for something, it was considered tacky. I sorta miss those days.

Here is the pertinent part of the law: There is hereby created the SEU Oversight Board which shall, from passage of this […]
QOD
To me anyway, it has become apparent that Hillary has moved back to the center if not to the right quite a bit. Not knowing the history of politics like some I wanted to get honest feedback if this was what the Democrats used to be? If this is really that bad for the Party […]
Hmmm, me thinks this could be a problem for McSame
In Arizona, Mr. McCain has helped Mr. Diamond with matters as small as forwarding a complaint in a regulatory skirmish over the endangered pygmy owl, and as large as introducing legislation remapping public lands. In 1991 and 1994, Mr. McCain sponsored two laws sought by Mr. Diamond that resulted in providing him millions of dollars […]
