North Korea as yet Another Renouncement of the NeoCon Agenda
So last week the Bushies lauded progress with North Korea. This development, which is a policy shift for the U.S., basically goes back to similar terms of a deal reached by the Clinton Administration, which the N. Koreans cheated on. This cheating was held up as a huge example of Clinton policy failure. Then the […]

Vilsack quits the race
Looks like the first one to drop out of the 2008 race is Tom Vilsack. The word on the street is that his first quarter fund raising was on pace for 1.3 Million. This is about what Obama raised in one evening… Hillary makes that much in interest each month. OK, let’s place bets on […]
Delaware Executions Put on Hold
Today all Delaware inmates on Death Row were granted class status and they will all progress through the court system as a class-action suit. Their complaint is that the method of lethal injection that the state uses is cruel and unusual punishment. I think this is good news. I’ll make no bones about it, this […]
Has Denis McGlynn Already Shoved Sports Betting up Delaware’s Ass?
I thought I was going to play Dr. Watson to Liberalgeek’s Sherlock, but it seems I’m going to play Dustin Hoffman to his Robert Redford. Here it goes. It is easy to build a case that Denis McGlynn is behind an effort to promote sports betting in Delaware and in fact may have already sealed […]
Thursday Tracking Poll Results
Wow! Dave Burris will be the next Congressman from Delaware. Sorry Mike Castle, but Dave is the Barak Obama of Delaware politics. 🙂 Dave actually tied with “Other Republican” for the poll John Carney and Jack Markell tied for 3rd place, but combined they could not match the juggernaut that is Dave Burris. Congrats Congressman.
Around the Horn Friday: Gave up Paul Smith for Lent edition
Hopefully Delaware Liberal is getting its mojo back. Like us or hate us, we are running strong. BIG shout-outs to Tommywonk and DoctorNick for their contibutions. I am feeling good about keeping this bandwagon rolling. The best news is that there’s only 1 year, 10 months and 27 days left of this corrupt administration. Although […]

Right on Schedule; Sports Betting in Delaware
I mentioned yesterday in the comments that Delaware was one of the few states that actually was able to offer sports betting. This AM I came across this link. Looks like there are others starting to push for this. Their timetable is much shorter that I had expected, however. I am not a fan of […]

This story is going to go national
I’ll put money on it. Man caught after pants fall around knees during foot chase
George Bush Doesn’t Care About Old Ladies
I did not know it, but there are assigned seats for ABC, NBC, CBS, etc. in the front row of the White House press room. The one seat not labelled with a news organization is the one Labelled “Helen Thomas.” Well, when the new press room is opened in a few months, Helen will have […]
Booing Michael Castle and More Serious Heresies
Eschaton wrote, “I’ve been long fascinated by the elite consensus that there’s something distasteful about running primary challengers against incumbents. Certainly primary challenges can be strategically stupid (…) but they provide one of the very few checks on legislator behavior that the people have.“ That got me to thinking about this comment from a First […]
