In a bolt out of the blue, Jason called me today and asked me to put up a podcast that he and Donviti put together on a variety of subjects. It’s like cats and dogs sleeping together.

Here are the “tags” that Jason asked me to include in the post (verbatim):

What would you say if I told you that the President of The Sussex County Council was paid $5,000 in salary by the largest developer in Sussex County?  Sounds pretty fishy, eh?  Well that is exactly what developer and Republican candidate for US Congress Glenn Urquhart is doing with his campaign funds. Let’s review.  Glenn […]

Can I Get an Oh My!

No Delaware public figure generates more angry letters to the Delaware Liberal tip line more than Insurance Commissioner,  Karen Weldin Stewart.  We have probably received more than 50 of them about her since she was sworn in a little over a year ago.  Most are rants of unsubstantiated rumors and vague assurances that her house […]

What Have We Become?

I’ve been pondering this question for quite some time, but it took El Somnambulo’s post concerning corrupt judges to drive me to my keyboard.  Call it the straw that broke the camel’s back – and this camel is thoroughly disgusted. Who are we? I really want to know.  I want to know what sort of […]

That’s how I read this section of Randy Nelson’s DTR blog post. One of the major issues: the influence of Pamela Scott on New Castle County land use and development issues, particularly with respect to crafting the legislation. Scott, a partner in the law firm of Saul Ewing, who represents one of Delaware’s biggest developers, […]

The DHS Starts Ripping Off Really Bad Star Trek

Filed in National by on July 8, 2008 12 Comments

And this is how you know that your government exists only to transfer taxpayer funds to their pals — witness: an Electronic ID bracelet that also stuns misbehaving passengers. Someone at Homeland Security is actually thinking about this device that you’d be fitted with when you check in; that will somehow also be coded to […]

The Week That Was

The fantastic kavips surveys the interesting headlines of the day and wonders if we are as cocky as we were last week after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. If I am to believe the evidence of my newsreader, Delaware Liberal doesn’t rate too highly on the cockiness meter, but I have no doubt that we […]

Even Newt Says Republicans Are Toast

And I think he may mean burnt — read this carefully: The Anti-Obama, Anti-Wright, and Anti-Clinton GOP Model Has Been Tested — And It Failed The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that if Republicans try to run an anti-Obama, anti- Reverend Wright, or (if Senator Clinton wins), anti-Clinton campaign, they are simply going […]

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 8, 2008 4 Comments

David Vitter (R-LA) was trying to get away from reporters questions about an affair with a prostitute as fast a possible.  So fast, in fact, that he ran over a sign.  Impaired judgment becomes you, Senator. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88l3H0QyoZI[/youtube]

A Guest Post from Senator Tom Carper

Filed in Uncategorized by on February 13, 2008 6 Comments

Donviti – I am displeased to find out that you have joined others at Delaware Liberal in disparaging my reputation because you have a problem with my so-called “voting record.” Frankly, I expected more from you. Although I’m from West Virginia I have a deep respect for your people and flatter myself to think that […]
