What Motivates Gonzo to Stay?
I have been pondering this question for a few weeks now (when I haven’t been too exhausted to think…). This isn’t a pleasant experience for Gonzo. He has been called a liar, a lap dog, an idiot and several other terms that are more derogatory. So why doesn’t he quit? Why doesn’t Bush tell him […]
Ringing endorsements for Gonzo
But Gonzales’s critics on and off Capitol Hill say he has had trouble with the truth for more than a decade, pointing to a controversy over Gonzales’s account of why Bush was excused from jury duty in 1996 while serving as the governor of Texas. And yet Mike Castle has not answered 3 of my […]
Taking things a little to far…
In short the cops are trying to convict a thief for the deaths of 4 people involved in a helicopter crash that was covering the chase from above prosecutors would have to show that the highspeed chase put the news crews at risk. Had police officers crashed a squad car and died, the law would […]
You mean I pissed my pants for nothing?
The Transportation Security Agency’s national security bulletin issued was based on bogus examples that were combined to give the impression of ominous terrorist plotting, CNN reports. Dang it!! Just when I decide to get all patriotic by pissing my pants and running around screaming like a good American, it turns out the the terrorists “dry […]
Gannett to sell suck-ass News Journal and three other papers
Word is that Gannett is into making money and not into the suck-ass News Journal. This investor conference call transcript tends to support the buzz on the street. If the suits at Gannett want to know why the paper is underperforming and what to do to fix it they should have asked me. 1) Fire […]
TV Appearance Post Mortem
So I’m in the green room and the show just prior to Richard’s is playing on a TV. It was religious and I was not paying close attention but I think the message was: If you lose your job, pray to Jesus and you will win the lottery. I’m not kidding. Onto the set. Richard […]
REMINDER: Delawareliberal to Excoriate Mike Castle on TV

Lazy Sunday: Real Estate Bubble-ology
There have been a few “how’d it happen?” type posts around. This one (via eschaton) is particularly clear and cogent. Potential home buyers for the most part don’t really care what the sticker price is on the house; they care about the monthly mortgage payment. In the early days of the house price boom, the […]
Bushweller again takes aim at Still
You have to like a guy who gets his shit together early. Not to mention that fact that he is running against the horrible and loathsome John Still Former Public Safety Secretary Brian Bushweller is hoping the second time will be a charm in challenging Sen. John C. Still III, R-Dover North, in the 17th […]
NJ runs a “Which one of these guys will be governor?” story.
It is a forgone conclusion that Jack Markell or the other Democrat will be Governor. Beth Miller’s story certainly reads that way. She does not even mention Alan Levin so I guess the GOP’s big Joe Biden supporter is going to sit this one out after all. NJ Link
Around the Horn Friday(c) !!! The Pink Slip & Red Carpet Preview Edition

Not only did I break the story about Mike Castle kicking Wenky to the curb in order to make room for a more seasoned street fighter – but Dave at First State Politics and I gave everyone the first glimpse at“plans” for a Delaware blog Awards and banquet. The […]
Why is Fred Thompson Crushing Mitt Romney ?
On paper Flipp should be running away with the nomination, but he continues to lose ground to this second rate actor. Why? Digby is reading a book which lays it out. Reductively speaking, Thompson stands as the Daddy Party’s dream Daddy–although a Daddy of a very particular type. Forget the nurturing, “compassionate conservative” model of […]
