QOD
If you take a buy out (1 week’s pay for every year worked up to 26 for example), do you still qualify for unemployment insurance? It is a question you might need to know that answer to if you work for the News Journal.
Verizon Wireless
Update: I recieved a call from Verizon Tonight! They said F-off. You signed a contract. Instead of the $175 cancellation fee they would waive…are you ready?….they would waive $5 a month for each month I have had the line. 12 x 5 = 60. Not sure how $5 a month equals $175 though. They did […]
Just a little self-serving, wouldn’t you say?
Mitt Romney offers Obama advice. Any management advice for the next president? How does he rally a depressed nation to meet the challenges we face? He should forget entirely about reelection and focus solely on helping the nation at a critical time. He should dismiss the people who helped him win the election and bring […]
Advance Preview of DTR
Ok, so I am going to KILL tomorrow morning on DTR. I have an AWESOME joke I plan on using too! So, I pretty much have several items I plan on talking about tomorrow. I don’t know which ones we will have time to cover though so maybe you all can help me decide which […]
Is Christmas Over Yet?
After an election season that has last 2 years, I find that I now long for Christmas to be over with too, all because of the DL Holiday format.

Correction of the Day

Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Ken Salazar (D-Colo.), Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) are all involved in the effort, according to top Senate Democratic aides. These four senators — along […]
Florida 2000 Redux
Here we go again. So just as the massive Minnesota Senate race recount starts the GOP sets up their patented smear campaign. The recount in the Minnesota Senate race hasn’t even begun yet, but already the GOP is working to delegitimize it in advance, by smearing the man who will run it as a partisan […]
A Movement Not a Campaign
Liberalgeek mentioned the innovative nature of the Obama operations. This campaign diary by a Vermonter who spent 40 days in Akron Ohio gives a glimpse at the moving parts, but also speaks to the soul of the operation. It is a long read but well worth it. “I’m working for Obama and I want you […]
The Rebirth of Intellectualism
If there’s one thing the election of Barack Obama has changed it’s our view of intelligence. Suddenly “smart” is cool again. To which I say, thank God. After eight years of a President who wore his academic mediocrity like a badge of honor we finally woke up and elected the smartest guy in the room […]
