What I’ve learned about being a Delaware Liberal

I have learned theat both sides have hyper partisan people that are willing to attack and defend the messenger no matter who it is.   It’s all fine when it is directed at the other side, but when you start questioning, honest questioning of people that are supposed to be on your “side” people can get very [...]

Bye LuLu

A few weeks ago I asked a serious qotd.  Lulu, our adopted/rescued basset hound had recently bitten my son.  Again.  The overwhelming response was to get rid of her in some fashion or another. 
I just did today and I’m sad.  Really sad.  I’m sad because I don’t know if the people adopting her know what [...]

Enjoy that Flu shot this year…b/c next year….

do Canadians even have medicine?  Can socialism even produce research? 
 
As public health departments in this country and many other countries prepare for the flu season, they must now cope with what’s being called the Canadian problem. There’s evidently a study somewhere in Canada that links getting a seasonal flu shot to an increased risk [...]

Book Banning US Government style

Funny if it weren’t true. I don’t recommend Noam for everyone. The truth hurts, and many Americans aren’t ready for the parallels he draws.
Moore Award Nominee
“This happens sometimes in totalitarian regimes,” Noam Chomsky, on why an Arabic-language copy of his anthology of post-9/11 commentary was rejected by the Gitmo library.

You read it here first:
Comment by Delaware Republican on 13 October 2009 at 9:26 am:
You are right to point out the bad actions of many banks. They have gone from too big to fail and now they are too big to regulate.
Sad to say they got a lot of money on a failure model. The [...]

Serious Question/Topic of the Day

I get unemployment benefits I really do.  I also get that in this global economy jobs that many had aren’t coming back.  Which means that while people are on benefits they need to utilize that time and money to “retool” so to speak.  Sure, WAY easier said than done.  Laughably I can’t even believe I [...]

Does anyone know what the US Chamber of Commerce is?  Who they represent?  How much money [...]

Deep thought

So, I was driving to work today and thinking that I remember when America back in 2000 was a rudderless, leaderless country.  We had no idea who our President was going to be for what, like 45 days after the election.  America, yes America, had no idea what was goin on with the elections.  We [...]

The only thing you need to read this morning is this BRILLIANT Frank Rich piece that rips “wrong-way” Mccain a new pie hole.   The more and more you listen to this re-focus on Afghanistan the more it sounds like Iraq.  These guys are so full of shit and the media are more than happy [...]

Radioactive Rabbit Tirds

In late September, a helicopter hovered 50 feet above the Hanford nuclear reservation, methodically hunting almost 16 square miles for radioactive poop that critters with a taste for salt spread.

QOTD

One of the things I did while I was out of work for 6 months was cut off my cable.  I had a newborn son I was caring for and not having the TV was hardly missed.  I read a lot and thanks to Cassandra I read “Infite Jest” for 6 weeks of my unemployment.  [...]

Dashboard

 
Well we scheme and we scheme but we always blow it
We’ve yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon,
Every dawn you’re surprising,
And the evening was consoling
Saying “See it wasn’t quite as bad as”
Well, it would’ve been, could’ve been worse than you would [...]
