Late Night Video: Mitt Romney, The Least Interesting Man In The World
Hilarious send up of the Dos Equis television ad series featuring Mitt Romney.
Romney: Obama Isn’t Really An American
David Corn has a good post on Governor Romney’s continued insistence that President Obama doesn’t understand America. After reviewing the remarks by West and Nugent, Corn ties this in neatly with Romney’s nudge nudge wink wink speeches painting Obama as a Kenyan and a Muslim.
Get Thee to a Nunnery
It seems as though it’s not just the GOP who is conducting a war against women. The Catholic Church has declared war on women religious. There were two Santa Maria! stories out of the Vatican this week. ….. Then there was the even worse news, by my votive lights, that the Vatican is cracking down […]

Delaware Political Weekly: April 14-20, 2012
1. Brad Bennett Is So-o-o-o Toast. Bear in mind that I predicted he’d lose his reelection bid handily in 2010 after his first drunk driving arrest, in October of 2010, and I was wrong. He got just over 50% of the vote, though, and there was a strong element of ‘we’ll give him one more […]
