Castle to Go Negative

It looks like Mike Castle will go negative against Christine in those ad buys. “We’re not just going to sit by and let her destroy Mike Castle,” a Castle campaign source says. The Week of September 7 until the 14 will be primetime.

Karen Weldin Stewart Doesn’t Like Open Government

A tipster sent me this link to the newly proposed regulations for FOIA requests to the Insurance Commissioners office. There are a few things that look somewhat odd to me.
First, there will be no public hearing on these regulations. Not a big surprise, given the IC’s record of backroom dealings. The public has until October [...]

Wednesday’s Asshat of the Day

Today’s award goes to Bill Keller, the unordained “pastor” and “brains” behind LivePrayer.com. Seems Bill, a convicted felon (insider trading) has decided to open a 9/11 Christian Center near Ground Zero. No problem there – the more, the merrier. But Keller’s ministry is one of hate.

Biden is Unchallenged by GOP.

I am sitting here in the Delaware Democratic Party headquarters with time to kill before the Progressive Democrats of Delaware meeting this evening. So I thought I would pass along two press releases from Beau Biden’s campaign and then from John Daniello, the illustrious chairman of the state party, concerning the GOP’s failure to field a candidate of their own to challenge Beau Biden for reelection.

I’m going out on a limb here today with my award (and maybe facing “excommunication”), for I am going to be taking on the former Sephardic Chief Rabbi of Israel.
First some background. Judaism, unlike other religions, does not have a political hierarchy. Rabbi’s do not report to a senior rabbi, who reports to [...]
