I have escaped a Republican house of torture

Filed in National by on December 24, 2007 5 Comments

I’m not sure where to begin.  The family and I were welcomed into the den of lions.  The fact that we escaped with the plastic bags on our heads and electrical cords hanging from our, our, it’s just too horrible to describe.  I was bribed with gifts and alcohol.  Mostly alcohol.  It’s too much to […]

Breaking: News Journal to drop the word “News” from masthead

Filed in National by on December 24, 2007 3 Comments

The word “News” implies that the contents of the paper include something “new” or at least not old. Gannett has determined that it just doesn’t make sense for the paper to continue with that bit of fraudulence. Case in point: Jack Markell’s brilliant Tubby Raymond Ad aired three times during the cable broadcast of the […]

Filed in National by on December 23, 2007 7 Comments

I’ll start. I nominate mattdenn.blogspot.com. Denn is a very funny natural writer. Although he is no doubt smart enough to “filter” on the fly, you still get the feeling that his blog strikes fear into his campaign staff. (See the current post for example. oh what I could do with that if I had no […]

1) Execs of electronics mega-chain Circuit City want to increase profits so they lay off expensive ($15.00 per hr) sales people and replace with cheap ($9.00 per hr) temps. 2) People stop buying from Circuit City because the temps don’t know squat about what they are selling. 3) Stock Price tanks and you know the […]

Sanity Returns to Time Magazine

Two morons at TIME will be cleaning out their desks very soon.  Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer will not have their contracts renewed.  Kristol is one of the worst offenders in this entire Bush/neocon mess.  I am certain that this won’t be the last that we hear of them, but can I at least hope […]

Howard Dean’s Revenge

Filed in National by on December 22, 2007 1 Comment

The blind squirrel that is Celia Cohen finds a nut. On a personal note, I find this story particularly gratifying because I first became aware of Cohen’s wretchedness as a reporter just after Senator Karen Peterson helped us open the Howard Dean campaign Headquarters in Newark.

The Big Difference Between DelawareLiberal and First State Politics

Filed in National by on December 22, 2007 13 Comments

I was speaking with someone the other day that suggested that DL and FSP are simply opposite sides of the same coin.

In the interest of time (and full disclosure) I should note that I’ve already borrowed from Dana Garrett. Comment away. Bruce, As […]

Please forgive the “Scarface” reference, but I couldn’t help it. When some douchbags think that they are smarter than 200 years of American economic history and can provide the banking industry with long languid blow jobs with impunity – it bring out the Tony Montana in me. Be Careful What You Wish For Nov. 8 […]

The NIH announced today that it will grant scientists a total of $115 million in taxpayer money over the next five years to decode the genomes of hundreds of microbes that live in or on the human body. Some of the bugs may be associated with BV, diarrhea, or perhaps even skin disorders like eczema. […]
