Have “decent” Republicans simply quit?
There is this person, Sarah Reidy, who is sick and sad about what the GOP has become but mostly you just hear crickets. I mean, shouldn’t someone other than a lowly Huntsman staffer speak up against the pep-rally for death and cruerlty that the GOP has become? Are the decent Republicans simply ceeding the nominating […]
Karen Weldin Stewart’s Appeal to Nowhere…
…on behalf of, well, not the people of the State of Delaware, has been dismissed by federal regulators. The News-Journal story has a distinct Karen in Wonderland flavor to it.
To (half-)wit: Our elected insurance commissioner, apparently on her own, applied for a three-year waiver to:
“exempt Aetna and UnitedHealthcare from spending 80 percent of premiums on medical care rather than administrative expenses or profits.”
Is This ‘The Reveal’ We’ve Been Waiting For?
For those of you who don’t know what “the reveal” is just google “The Reveal” & Obama and a post by yours truly should be in the top 50 results. If that is too much work for your lazy ass, just read this quote from Henry IV, Part 1
I know you all, and will awhile uphold
The unyoked humour of your idleness.
Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
Hold on a sec…
I saw an ad for a hotel this weekend. In the ad the hotel chain seemed to boast that it put fresh sheets on the bed every time a guest checked out of the room.
Does that mean that other hotel chains are not changing the sheets for every new guest?
Tuesday Open Thread
So what were your thoughts on the Teabagging debate last night? I can never bare to watch, so I followed the reaction on several blogs I follow and on Twitter. Besides Santorum’s Freudian slip, the most outrageous, disgusting and revealing moment of the evening was conservative crowd cheering the death of the elderly uninsured. Now, the Republican position on healthcare has always been that if you can’t afford health insurance, then it sucks to be you. Now that has evolved to cheering for the deaths of the uninsured.
Dover City Proposal affecting Employee speech defeated.
Dover city committee rejected a proposal that would prohibit city employees from making any negative comments about individuals or groups based on race, gender or other legally protected characteristics on social media websites, blogs or other online forums, including Facebook, Twitter and other online social media networks, no matter if they were on or off duty.
Wagner classifies efforts to get him to do his job “frivolous.”
Some months ago, Richard Korn, the former Democratic nominee for Auditor, filed suit against state Auditor Tom Wagner, alleging that Wagner was violating a state law that requires the auditor to review school district budgets annually and has been doing so since changing the audit procedures in 2002. However, a Chancery Court judge has dismissed the suit, ruling that the Chancery Court did not have jurisdiction to hear the case, and that the Superior Court would be the proper venue.
With so many debates… sooner or later….
…the GOP’s innate racism would shine through… Rick Santorum on the GOP attracting Latino votes:
“What what Gov. Perry has done is he provided in-state tuition for illegal immigrants, maybe that was an attempt to attract illegal vote — I mean Latino — voters,” Santorum said.
Sorry about that….
I think it might have been a first, but yesterday Delaware Liberal had no new posts. No, it was not an extended moment of silence for the 10th year anniversary of 9/11. It was just a mix up of schedules. Our apologies. Now back to politics….
