And The Winner Is . . .
. . . for the oddest speech on the House floor this year, Representative Steve LaTourette (R-OH).
Friday Open Thread — Halloween Movies Edition
This week, The Daily Beast is featuring the Top 11 Scariest Horror Movies of All Time as selected by the total film geek Martin Scorsese. What is cool about this list is that they also provide some clips of each of the movies Scorsese has selected.
Fox “News” Is . . . Gasp . . . Conservative
A Pew Research Center finds that Fox “News” is viewed as the most ideological of the six television news channels. Forty-seven percent of Americans think that Fox “News” is conservative, while 36% of Americans think that MSNBC is liberal. What’s interesting with this poll is that Americans thoughts regarding the news channels stay pretty consistent […]
You Knew This Was Coming
Can we finally strip Lieberman of his chairmanship now? Once again the DFHs (especially Ned Lamont) were right and the so-called political pundits were wrong. I’m not holding my breath waiting for the establishment to apologize for their support of Lieberman. Will Lieberman apologize to the people of Connecticut for lying to them about how […]
If I Were A Republican Woman I’d Be Insulted
Reading this article brought two things to mind – The Stepford Wives and Enjoli… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X4MwbVf5OA[/youtube] Ah yes, you’ve come a long way, baby. Right-wing women rock. Not for us the sturdy, honest calves of the New Democrat/Green Party female, honed on eco-tourist rainforest hikes. Those legs are often on unfortunate display, extending from a knee-length […]
QotD: A Touch Bookish
David Plouffe, Delawarean and mastermind of President Obama’s victory in 2008, has written a book, The Audacity to Win: The Inside Story and Lessons of Barack Obama’s Historic Victory. Failed Vice-Presidential candidate and chronic quitter Sarah Palin comes out with her story later this month, Going Rogue: An American Life. Which to you plan on […]
Between Love and Madness Lies the New Castle County Council
Guidelines are now being created by the New Castle Country government that in time would allow businesses to advertise on county parkland reports The Community News. What types of ads, where the ads would go and what businesses the ads would be from are all part of the rules that will be drawn up between […]
Juvenile Victims Finally Get Delayed Justice
No, not the victims of institutional pedophilia that Monsignor Greg Lavelle and the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington have conspired to individually screw for at least a second time. I’m talking about the 5,000 victims previously chronicled here. 6500 convictions thrown out due to kickbacks that two of the greediest ‘public servants’ in history got in […]
Zombie Reagan in ’12
Out of 1,038 registered Republicans surveyed by CNN and Opinion Research Corp, just 29 percent say Sarah Plain, the former half-term governor of Alaska and failed 2008 Vice Presidential candidate, is qualified to be president. While the former Governor of Alaska fades, a surprising name is making inroads among GOP faithful. A full 51 percent […]
Palin Doesn’t Come Cheap
Sarah Palin is “charging” the conservative Iowa Family Policy Center 100,000.00 to speak at their dinner next month. Hey, great work if you can get it. But why would she want to? We are talking about Iowa – the state political careers go to soar or dive. Also, not exactly the most neighborly move for […]
Sometimes Celia
Sometimes you make me laugh. Colin Bonini is the human teabag who is constantly putting himself in and taking himself out. He is a Republican state senator who has been eyeballing statewide office almost as soon as he got to the Delaware General Assembly in 1994. Given the multiple meanings of the word “teabag,” in […]

Here’s a story that has been rocketing around the web – a young Canadian folk singer was killed by coyotes while […]
