Secret Government in Session-Day 2
The News-Journal is all over Joint Finance Committee secrecy this year:

Quote of the Day
Vietnam teaches several lessons, the first of which is that the United States can have normal relations with countries whose political systems and ideologies it rejects. That is as true of Cuba and Iran today as it was of Vietnam or China.

RNC Voting Today!
The meeting of the Republican National Committee ends today with votes on resolutions. If you remember, party activists forced a resolution to change the name of the Democratic party to the “Democrat Socialist Party,” despite the opposition of the Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele. The resolution would have forced Steele to refer to [...]

Anatomy of a Smackdown: Barney Frank schools Bachman
This is brutal man…brutal
Frank uses his seniority on Bachman and I can only imagine how it goes over that a guy like Barney schooled her.

Michael Steele gave a speech at the RNC meeting today. (Full text available at this link.)
Some excerpts…
The era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over. It is done. The time for trying to fix or focus on the past has ended. The era of Republican navel gazing is over. [...]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that he spoke with Kennedy’s wife, Vicki, in the past few days and was told the 77-year-old lawmaker [...]

Kilroy is now a Democrat. Gird your loins… and your spell-checker!
Humor aside, here’s another example of Republicans losing a moderate voice. Kilroy’s own words…
Dear Maria Evans what the hell should I do? Is the party so fractured that I must decide to remain a Republicans or not? It kinds of sucks that people in the [...]

Michael Steele Threatens to Pull a Thurman Adams
Suggests he’ll quit if he is forced to serve merely as a figurehead.
“Yo, yo, yo, Mr. Hip-Hop Nation
Whitey took your checkbook

Your shooting from the lip
will be your ruination
So keep your piehole zipped
and let Rush do the oration.”

What ever happened to
American manhood?
Dear Fellow Conservative:
Today’s weak and pusillanimous Nanny State is anything but hospitable to true manhood.
And that’s why we need real men more than ever.
But our society today offers no clear rite of passage for young men. [...]
Bell to Bell
I’ve been trying to write a post about the Delaware Education Association’s Bell to Bell Week and I’ve been stimied.

There are new poll results out from Gallup about partisan identification, and it’s not good news for Republicans.

Secret Government in Session in Dover
Nancy Cook and the Joint Finance Committee began its budget markup yesterday, free, for hopefully the last time, from the disinfectant of sunshine.
Virtually all of it took place behind closed doors, according to the News-Journal’s J. L. Miller.
Allegedly an ‘Orientation’ session, as if 12 veteran legislators with decades of JFC experience required any orientation whatsoever, [...]
