The One Good Thing About Michael Newbold Castle
…is that he does not think crazy people should be allowed to purchase guns at gun shows. (Yes A1, I know it is window dressing, but still.) ALSO…I find it strange that not wanting crazy people to be able to purchase guns at gun shows would put you at odds with wingnuts, but there you […]
Rick Perry: I Was Just Kiddin’ About That Secession Stuff
When we last heard from Rick Perry, Republican governor of Texas, he was at a “Tea Party” saying this: “There’s a lot of different scenarios,” Perry said. “We’ve got a great union. There’s absolutely no reason to dissolve it. But if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people, you know, who knows […]
New Yorker article on Chief Justice Roberts
Definitely worth a read if you have the time: The differences between Roberts and Obama include such issues as abortion and affirmative action, but they extend beyond such familiar legal battlegrounds to what Roberts called, in his Tucson speech, “the nature of the Court itself.” “When Justice Rehnquist went on the Court, a minority of […]
Why Don’t I Watch The View?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTuEFQG4Yj4[/youtube] I know they get painted as fluff, but I remember them asking the tough questions during the 2008 Presidential campaign.
Supreme Court Rejects Ban on Medical Marijuana
And who’s to say it’s not for medicinal purposes? The Supreme Court today struck down appeals from two holdout California counties that had opposed the lifting of the state’s ban on medical marijuana. The action likely will clear the way for patients in San Diego and San Bernardino counties to seek county-issued identification cards that […]
Shorter definition of Christianyish

What Does the Insurance Commissioner Do?
I mean other than walk around the Democratic convention shaking hands with people during the Governor’s remarks, what doe she do? I thought she was being paid to run the Insurance Commissioner’s Office. I must have been wrong about that though since they are sending out an RFP asking for a “managment consultant” to …you […]
Quote of the Day
Governments around the world are getting more savvy about excluding journalists from war zones. The US Government partly blamed its failure in Vietnam on the freedom of the press rather than on its military strategy. That led to me being banned from reporting the Falklands war. I had dinner recently with some senior military men […]
Rick Jenson….exaggerator in chief
While listening to WDEL Rick said that there were 7 to 800 people at the teabagging event he attended on April 15th. Not sure which event he was at, but the one I saw Rick at he was leading his 2 minutes of hate to round 300 people. hmmmmmm, wonder what else he exaggerates….

The Cost Of Being Poor
As a city resident I have a corner store several blocks from my home. While it has a steady flow of pedestrian traffic it isn’t located in the best of neighborhoods. But that’s not why I don’t pop in for a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread. I don’t patronize the store because […]
Blevins is the Key.
In the battle to petition HB5 out of the Executive Committee, we need 11 Senators to sign on. We have eight at this moment. The current thinking is that is Majority Whip Patty Blevins signs on, she may bring with her Hall-Long and Katz. So email and Senator Blevins (Patricia.Blevins@state.de.us, (302) 744-4133) And let’s work […]
Ramone/Peterson Bill to Cut NCCo Council to 9 from 13
Community News reports… The bill also would eliminate the elected office of County Council President. Instead, the president would be selected from among the three at-large members by all nine council members. If Karen Peterson thinks it is a good idea, it deserves consideration. If they are cutting Bill Bell off from the gravy trail, […]
