Seems like Kenyan women are recycling a strategy first pioneered in ‘Lysistrata’. In the classic comedy by Aristophanes, first performed in 411 B. C.: Lysistrata convinces the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands as a means of forcing the men to negotiate a peace, a strategy however that inflames the battle […]
Chrysler negotiations with creditors collapse – Car maker to file for bankrupcy

Poll Thread
There does not seem to be very much middle ground. If you drunkenly beat up your spouse, you are really into it. If you don’t, you don’t
By All Means, Fix the Veterans’ Home, and Fix Every Other Delaware Nursing Home
While the News-Journal’s recent series chronicling chronic patient care problems at the Delaware Veterans’ Home is invaluable, it misses the most vital point: The same conditions found at the Delaware Veterans’ Home are prevalent at nursing facilities throughout the State of Delaware.

More Tales from the Lunatic Fringe

From the Moonie (aka Washington) Times: RNC to Vote on Resolution Labeling Democrats ‘Socialists’ The funding fight comes on the heels of another open challenge to Mr. Steele’s authority.

Castle Sees Writing On The Wall
One of the Washington Post articles on Obama’s 100 days focuses on Delaware Congressman Mike Castle and his friend, Republican Michigan Congressman Fred Upton and their vote against Obama’s budget in January. The money shot isn’t until the last two paragraphs when Castle is quoted as saying: I’m not giving the Republicans a lot of […]
