This Johnathan Alterman peice in the New Yorker (h/t atrios) really captures the full story of the News Journal’s demise.
Speaking of Delaware’s paper of record, has anyone seen what an eff’ed up mess the “improved” New Journal Web site is?

What the public record can’t tell us is what the outcome of this hijacked HB6 process is going to be.  I mean, who knows?  Tony DeLuca might remember his union brothers and all the jobs that [...]

I had to turn off ABC’s Extremely sad Home Make Over last night.  It makes me angry to think that in this state, in this city which I work, people are that destitute.  A 70 year old woman sleeps downstairs with plastic sheets hanging over hallways to keep the cold out.  Sad, pathetic and all [...]

Democratic Insurance Commissioner candidate Gene Reed, Jr.
Gene Reed is the bought and paid for property of Regulatory Insurance Services, Inc. (RIS); a corporation that “has made millions from auditing Delaware insurance companies for the Department of Insurance.”
This is pretty much slam dunk blogging by Mike Mathews.

Extreme Home Makeover the Wilmington Edition is on tonight was just on.
Nice family. Very deserving of their good fortune. Cheers to you ABC. Most reality shows exploit people - at least this one the exploited people get something out of it.

I hate to be mysterious, but the time is not ripe.
One thing I will say, Copeland has Jeremy Firestone and Will Kempton snowed. He does not have me snowed though.

The ones pushing this “2.9% increase in home sales” story are anyway.
As it turns out that is +2.9% February 08 vs. January 08.
In fact, sales are

The NJ notes that KHN was on hand but no Mike Castle. (Say…why doesn’t he get off his ass and do something?)
Anyway, I didn’t get the memo.

Iraq head slapper of the day:

It appears that Prime Minister Nouri Maliki’s ultimatum to Shiite Muslim militiamen to surrender to the Iraqi government might not be working precisely as he had intended.
When nobody had turned up by Friday, Maliki gave members of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada Sadr’s Mahdi Army militia 10 more days to [...]

I heard Al Mascitti talking about how strange it is that “Obama Girl” is popular. Well, at that point I had not seen the Obama Girl video.
Having seen it, you don’t have to be Donviti to figure out why it is popular.
That’s right. It is funny. The song kind of [...]
