Yeah, He’s A Liar

The Washington Post headline is not as strong as I might like, but it says what needs saying: McCain Charge Against Obama Lacks Evidence. For four days, Sen. John McCain and his allies have accused Sen. Barack Obama of snubbing wounded soldiers by canceling a visit to a military hospital because he could not take […]

My Email to Ron Williams

Filed in National by on July 30, 2008 21 Comments

Ron, My readers are eager to know if you are stupid or devious? Or both? In your July 30th column you mentioned a “Democratic in-house poll of New Castle County and statewide candidates” that you first mentioned on July 27th, boasting, “I have the latest in-house Democratic Party poll that includes most of the statewide […]

polling tip line

People see polls all the time… Internal Republican polling shows the Carney-Markell undecideds in the 18-20% range. Only a gullible fool (or corrupt loser) like Ron Williams would go around draging his newspaper’s credibility through the mud by trying to pass off some half-assed garbage paid for by Tom Gordon as “in-house Democratic Party” polling.

Mary McFate was a prominent gun control activist. Mary Lou Sapone was a freelance spy with an NRA connection. They are the same person. A Mother Jones investigation.   You really have to read this. I think we all have our opinions about the NRA, but after you read this I’d like to know how […]

Let’s Arrest The Crooks Ourselves!

Filed in National by on July 30, 2008 16 Comments

Over at the Huffington Post there is an article about using citizens arrest to capture Karl Rove, Harriet Meirs or John Bolton. This is intriguing.  I wonder if we could turn the Delaware beaches into a bastion for apprehending criminals. And before any of you start saying that it is not within our rights to […]

Ron Williams, Dupe or Fraud?

Filed in National by on July 30, 2008 12 Comments

When Ron Williams wrote, “I have the latest in-house Democratic Party poll…” it was either a flat out lie or he was played for a sucker by Vince D’Anna. As more water spills over Williams’ half-assed dam of lies, we know know that the poll was not recent as Williams suggests with his use of […]

At the risk of this becoming a food critique blog I have posted this.  But, I won’t comment on the horrible food they serve.  Nor will I mention the disgusting hamburgers that arrive to your table dripping with fat so thick the bun has turned into a nasty spunge like object that has been soaked in […]

Ron Williams Works For John Carney: The Smoking Gun

Filed in National by on July 30, 2008 12 Comments

Check this out. On Sunday Williams wrote, “I have the latest in-house Democratic Party poll…” and he went on to relate what a load of crap it was with crazy ass responses like “Ruth Ann Minner is popular.” …stuff nobody could believe. Well he sequestered other results until today.   Why?  These are results that Williams […]
