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. He hates gays. He [...]

The original plan was for Mike Castle to just ignore Christine O’Donnell, just as Joe Biden had done twice before. And in so doing, he would conserve his campaign war chest to blow Chris Coons out of the water in October. Well, Castle is no longer ignoring Old Christine. He is going on air before the primary.
