A Challenger in the NCC 5th
A little birdie (named Rebecca) has told me that the Republican party will be challenging Lisa Diller for Stephanie McClellan’s council seat. The candidate is James Moulthrop Jr. of Old Post Farm.
I hope to conduct an interview of Lisa Diller next week. If you know anything about Moulthrop, let’s hear it.
HB 48: Motor Vehicle Document Fee Income Tax Deduction
While Gov. Markell is looking at ways to get us through our current budget crises, State Rep. Charles Bill Oberle (R 24) has sponsored some odd legislation that will take money out of the state budget, HB 48, just when it is needed most.
This Act allows for a Personal Income Tax deduction for the amount [...]
A Deliberate Mess or More Incompetence?
How is this possible?
President Obama’s plans to expeditiously determine the fates of about 245 terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and quickly close the military prison there were set back last week when incoming legal and national security officials — barred until the inauguration from examining classified material on the detainees — discovered that [...]
Will Mike Castle Put On The GOP’s Ghost Shirt?
Will Mike Castle toe the GOP’s party line again? Who knows, but one thing is sure – You have a call to make…
President Obama worked through the weekend to convince skeptics in Congress to quickly pass his economic recovery plan this week.
Obama’s stimulus would invest in green jobs, health care, and [...]
Are You A Man?
Check for yourself by measuring yourself against this Popular Mechanics list of 100 skills every man should know.
Of course they left out “ability to man-up and apologize when you are proven utterly and disastrously wrong.” So, by that measure – our wingnut readers are mostly frail little wussy-girls even if [...]
Tokenism Backfires on Fox
This is an interesting montage that would be funny if it were not so pitiful.
Fox had this token man with a brain named Peter Schiff on for financial segments over the past couple of years. He was put on so the other panelists would have somebody to laugh at.

Editor’s Note: I’m sorry about all the profanity lately, but it is nearly impossible to talk about what Republicans have done to the country without using some form of the terms, “Fucked,” “Screwed” or “Ass Raped.”
Having said that; it appears that “The Republican Plan” is to fuck the country for another two years by being [...]
“(Senate) appointments are an anachronism that must end.”
Russ Feingold To Introduce Constitutional Amendment To End US Senate Appointments
by Todd Beeton, at MYDD Sun Jan 25, 2009 at 05:26:10 PM EST
Good:
“The controversies surrounding some of the recent gubernatorial appointments to vacant Senate seats make it painfully clear that such appointments are an anachronism that must end. In 1913, the Seventeenth Amendment to the Constitution [...]

25Jan2009 | nemski | 10 comments | ContinuedLisa Diller For County Council
Last Thursday I attended the meeting to determine the candidate that would replace Stephanie McClellan in the Council District 5. Two of the people considering a run for council decided to drop from the race, clearing the way for Lisa Diller. I had a few minutes to speak to her and she confirmed my impression that she is a smart and principled, qualities that are sorely lacking on New Castle County Council. The special election to replace McClellan is scheduled for February 19th.
