Let’s Look At The Republican Party and Give Beck and Boehner Something To Really Cry About

Steele thinks Obama has a thing with him.  Oh, and by the way, he’s not jealous of Obama being President (“why would he be?”) because he’s the Run RNC chair… and he’s still hip because he part-eeed in college. Limbaugh displays he has the mentality of a twelve year old boy with his flood and […]

So When Does This End?

Cops running through a door and shooting a guy for a dime bag (maybe even less than that). All of those resources pointed at a dime bag — a giant waste of money, manpower and attention. Michigan doesn’t have any drug kingpins to knock down?

It’s pretty bad when Ann Coulter looks like the most sane person in the group – okay, actually it’s pretty hysterical. Oh my goodness gracious!  Now pro-lifers are administering an are you pro-life enough litmus test.  And Ann Coulter’s sputtering.  Pass the popcorn, put your feet up, and relax… Republicans are eating their own.  Why […]

With that new whiz-kid wunderkind heading here to helm DNREC, the Beast Who Slumbers has become intrigued at possible ways to turn the First State into Green Acres. Today, he’s fixated on biochar, a ‘highly-porous charcoal made from organic waste’. When not listening to REM, research scientists at the University of Georgia in Athens are […]

Why I favor abortion

Filed in National by on March 30, 2009 25 Comments

See, I truly believe that the stigma the religious nuts of this country and the world for that matter have attached to abortion does more harm then good.  Everyone likes to imagine this adorable wonderful child growing up and being the next president of the United States or perhaps Bill Gates.  The arguement is to […]

Here is a nifty chart they created to track promises kept. Below the fold, you will see a HUGE list […]

Yes, on Delaware Liberal, you are about to see a liberal Democrat attack a columnist for suggesting that we impose a tax. I know, shocking. But here we go. But something Markell has arbitrarily ruled out is a temporary sales tax. If we can have a temporary pay cut, why not a temporary sales tax? […]

“Dear Michelle: Your Garden Is Missing One Vital Component. Pesticides.”

Filed in National by on March 30, 2009 7 Comments

Some things El Somnambulo cannot make up. Those poor benighted souls at the Mid America CropLife Association want everyone to know that veggies w/o pesticides are like…Claymont w/o metallic soot. Or something like that. Their ‘ambassadors’ (that’s what they call themselves) have written, and are urging all ambassadors to write Michelle Obama to show her […]

Hey look, Bush lied….again

Filed in National by on March 29, 2009 9 Comments

Shocking, he wasn’t high valued and torture doesn’t work Moreover, within weeks of his capture, U.S. officials had gained evidence that made clear they had misjudged Abu Zubaida. President George W. Bush had publicly described him as “al-Qaeda’s chief of operations,” and other top officials called him a “trusted associate” of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin […]
