Jon & Kate to Divorce (No Word on Mike Castle’s Plans Yet)
America can breath again. The reality stars will be joining the ranks of the not married anymore. Who could have predicted that life under a microscope would put a strain on their marriage?
Sam Seder Talks To Palin Supporters
They like Sarah Palin so they are annoying idiots to begin with. They are New Yorkers who like Sarah Palin so they are annoying idiots to the 15th power MyDDcommenter adds… NewsBusters reports about the very liberal Campbell Brown and her show’s panel discussion. Sam was a participant… I quote: “The CNN anchor then asked […]
Racist Staffer “Reprimanded,” Keeps Job
Do you remember Sherri Goforth, the aide to Tennessee state senator Diane Black? She’s the aide who sent out an email with a picture of all the presidents that depicted Obama as only eyeballs (’cause he’s dark, you know, har har).Well, Senator Black has responded to the calls for firing Goforth by sending a sternly […]
America’s Best Blogger Fired by Washington Post
The right-wing meme about the Lib’rul Media? Uh, not so much. The Washington Post, whose editorial page has been moving further and further to the right, has fired Dan Froomkin, the best bleeping blogger in America, whose White House Watch was must-reading during the Bush years and even more so during the early months of […]

Pushing The Issue: HB253
John Kowalko chairs the Joint Sunset Committee and he’s trying to challenge the Delaware Way from that vantage point. Case in point: HB253 (restructuring the Victims Compensation Board). From the presser: House Bill 253 is identical to Senate Bill 144, which was developed by and sponsored by the members of the Joint Sunset Committee, a […]
Proof That Money Does Not Equal Class
Take a look at this house and tell me your first thought isn’t Real Housewives of New Jersey. Yes, yes, I know the house in question is tied to the Ensign scandal – I don’t care. Frankly, the real scandal is how tacky this super-sized McMansion is. Truly a crime against architecture. A reader at […]

The Bankrupt Rhetoric of Rationing
Health care rationing that is. David Leonhardt at the NYT has another Must Read article detailing all of the ways that health care is rationed in the US. Today, I want to try to explain why the case against rationing isn’t really a substantive argument. It’s a clever set of buzzwords that tries to hide […]
Can Sussex County be saved from the worst instincts of Sussex Countians?
Joan Deaver, the SC Council’s lone Democrat thinks so. Note: This took a long time to load on my computer. It might be my computer and it might not.
Dinner with a Republican/homophobe
I occasionally entertain Republicans that pay for my dinner. I do this about 1x a week, sometime’s twice. Last night’s was especially fun because the person was on fire I tell you. Apparently he had watched Rosie O’Donnel on CBS Sunday Morning the other day and learned that she is a “Very, very angry woman.” […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrapup/Pre-Game Show-Thurs., June 18
Yesterday’s Action: In the Senate, the big news was the release of SB 121 to the floor by unanimous committee vote, surprising no one save the News-Journal’s headline writer, who used the term ‘surprising’ to describe this development. Nor will it be ‘surprising’ when this long-overdue civil rights measure becomes law, probably by the end […]
Health Insurance Companies Always Win
Which is the basic problem, since insurance is really legalized gambling. Whether it’s your house, health or car, you’re paying (betting) money in the hopes you never cash in on your investment. Insurance companies are betting on the same thing, especially since they get your money up front. And once they have your money they […]
