The Fraudulence of Wingnuts — Glenn Beck Edition
Outsourced to Jon Stewart who is very funny and very scathing here:
Around the Horn Friday… Moving to Sunday
No, you didn’t miss it. Our founder here at Delaware Liberal, the pure evil Jason330, started the Around the Horn column by placing it on a Friday. I felt, as I took it over, that we should continue posting it on a Friday. But as I thought about it… why Friday? It is the end […]
All of this has happened before…
All of this has happened before…. but will it have to happen again? I have long said intolerance will cease as the intolerant among us die off. Is this the last long final battle that will finally bury the conservative notion of a 1950’s white Christian intolerant America? By their rhetoric, conservatives seem to think it is. Their anger has a “nothing left to lose” quality to it. It is like they know we, as Americans, are at a turning point. It is a turning point I have longed for, and that they have feared, for years.
Damon Weaver Interviews President Obama
This is an impressive interview — Damon Weaver is a 6th grader from a school in Florida whose claim to fame before now was his delightful interview with then Senator Biden — finally gets to interview the President. I thought many of his questions were smarter and more interesting than many I’ve heard at a WH Press Conference.
Twitter War Between Specter And Grassley
I can’t tell you how awesome this is. I’m sure this is a direct result of the forum that Specter spoke at this morning. During the forum he was asked about Grassley’ spreading disinformation on health care (specifically “death panels”) and he promised that he would call Chuck Grassley right after he spoke. Some people […]
New Ad Targeting Tom Carper
Health Care for Americans Now is airing this ad in six states, targeted at Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.), Rep. Rick Boucher (D-Va.), Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D-S.D.), a number of upstate New York members and Sens. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.).
What’s Charlie Copeland Up To Today?
Maybe getting ready for his CRI board of Directors Meeting on September 14th? His Aunt and Uncle will certainly want to know where all the money is going. Maybe reading over and approving blog posts written by the whack pack. Or perhaps musing about how chicken laced with chemicals is really good for you.
Cash For Clunkers widdled to 1984 cars and younger
As I said last week the cash for clunkers program fell short of what it could have been. As expected, the lobbyists got their way. Nothing has changed in Washington, the powerful and special interests (almost one in the same) don’t want change and we all know who pays for the stagnation. Apparently the classic […]
It is down to two choices for the name of the beer!!!
Here are the choices: Delaware Way Ale or To Big to Fail Ale
Live From Netroots Nation – Day 2
No CSPAN cameras right now, so I don’t have to worry whether my make-up looks good. On today’s agenda: Howard Dean discusses health care reform. The single payer advocates (HR 676) are out in force. I haven’t seen any Obama = Hitler signs yet. Dean’s thoughts: Some people are angry because we’re seeing a generational […]
Another Republican Weighs In
Bruce Bartlett’s piece at the Daily Beast is well worth your time. For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Bartlett here’s a brief synopsis: Bruce Bartlett was one of the original supply-siders, helping draft the Kemp-Roth tax bill in the 1970s. In the 1980s and 1990s, he was a leading Republican economist. He now considers […]
UPDATED: Who Wants Coons on The Front Page of the News Journal?
So the News Journal has signed up to play along with someone’s plan to get people talking about Chris Coon’s political future. But who gains from this? Who wants you to be thinking about Coons? Solved: It is Ron Williams (or whoever set up this NJ profile). “Tiredofcoons” has commented on every NJ article that […]
Tomorrow is the day
Well, it is our first summer concert and it coudln’t be for a better cause that needs way more awareness. I sincerely hope you can make it. Even if not for the full four hours at least pop on in, drink a few a beers and listen to a set of James Day and the […]
