Delaware Jefferson Jackson Dinner
Delaware’s Democratic Party has its annual fundraiser on Tuesday, November 10 at the Chase Center in Wilmington. (Tickets available here) I believe an almost-full contingent of your friendly neighborhood bloggers will be there. Guess who is going to be the keynote speaker? (C’mon take a guess first, before clicking the link.)
This Sort Of Lazy Blogging Drives Me Crazy
Tennessee Walker, over at Delaware Politics, has a post up that tells me the little chick-a-dee could use some time off the farm. It starts as a rant about Eric Holder (Fine, I get that. It’s a Conservative blog) then launches into a full-out screed against cities. Democrat run cities are cesspools of corrumption and […]
Socialists Stealing Paychecks!
Kenneth Feinberg of the Treasury Department has been watching the sycophant banks and trading companies very closely and he’s a little pissed that many of decided to give themselves bonuses, pay increases and other perks.

Chris Christie Is In Political Trouble
You know how I know that? Well, check out his latest web ad. Shouldn’t he be latching onto a Republican’s coattails instead of Obama’s? Oh yeah, he’s in trouble. TPM sums it up nicely: “If you didn’t know any better, you might think from this video that Obama was endorsing Christie. That sure would be […]
Wednesday Open Thread
It’s Wednesday and we have thread. Are you suffering from Crazy Fatigue? I know I am. Speaking of crazy, crazy birther lawyer/dentist/real estate agent Orly Taitz is appealing her $20,000 fine.

Stamping Feet When There’s No Reason To
A recent Gallop poll shows that most gun owners (55%) think that President Obama wants to ban the sale of guns. Gallup Poll editor-in-chief Frank Newport notes that President Obama has never said — either on the campaign trail or after taking office — that he intends to push for a ban on the sale […]

It seems as though once every two weeks, or maybe even, once every a week, I-95 and/or I-495 come to a screeching halt due to accidents cause by high-speed or inattentive driver. Now, I haven’t gone out and gotten any statistics on this, but from my experience driving on 95 and 495, the State Police […]
I’ll Believe It’s Not About Race When Pat Buchanan Does
In his latest column Pat Buchanan explains why the white working class is so upset. America was once their country. They sense they are losing it. And they are right. I’m really tired of all the good old days pining, because those days weren’t good for everybody. Note: Ozzie and Harriet and Leave It To […]

There is finally some serious cause for optimism. Andrew Eder, writing in today’s News-Journal, reports that the Boxwood GM plant is attracting a lot of interest: Fisker Automotive confirmed Tuesday that it has talked with Delaware officials and toured the Boxwood Road assembly plant, idle since late July when General Motors closed the factory.

OMG GOP WTF?!
Credo Mobile has a weekly quiz called OMG GOP WTF?! It donates $0.10 per correct answer to a progressive organization (this week The Nation). I’m sure you’ll not be surprised that I earned a 5/5. I’m not sure how they choose their subjects because the GOP has so many moments. Perhaps these will help with […]
