Judicial Activism?

We all get emails containing tasteless “jokes” from time to time. But one would think that a Federal judge would at least be a bit judicious in who he would forward such an email to. That’s not the case with Richard Cebull, Chief Judge of the Federal Court in Montana.

Franklin Graham Just Doesn’t Get It

Who does Franklin Graham think he is? Once again, he went on the airwaves to question whether President Obama is a Christian or not.

Readin’, Ritin’, and Running Amok

Newsflash: a Sussex County elected official doesn’t like to follow the rules and takes matters into their own hands. No, I’m not talking about Wyatt Earp Sheriff Jeff Christopher, I’m referring to Cape Henlopen School Board member Sandi Minard, (pictured 5th from the top).
Minard is a teabagger. She won her seat in [...]

Even Miss Piggy Knows about FAUX News

Miss Piggy decided to take on FOX News during a press conference in London last week.
How long do you think it will be before Rush and the other know-nothings start railing against Miss Piggy?

Campaign Finance Reports – KWS Edition

End of year campaign finance reports were due by January 20, 2012, and of course, KWS filed hers late. It makes for some interesting reading.

It seems that a number of individuals and law firms with an interest in the captive insurance industry like KWS enough to give her money. Now mind you, captive insurance does nothing for the consumer. It isn’t to benefit Delaware consumers; captive insurance is insurance for corporations. It isn’t to benefit our state, and, despite her claims to the contrary, the captive bureau does not fill the state’s coffers. So why does KWS push the captive bureau so hard? Because it makes her donors (lawyers and law firms who work in captive insurance) more money. And in turn, they kick-back money to her campaign.

One More On Newt and his Wives

I couldn’t resist.

h/t to a Facebook friend.

Newt – Answer the Friggin Question

In typical teabag-rethuglican manner, Newt Gingrich, who is closing in on a win in tomorrow’s primary in South Carolina, attacked CNN newsman and debate anchor John King for asking a legitimate question about his ex-wife’s interview with ABC News.

Tom Corbett Hates Poor People

Why is it that rethuglican elected officials hate poor people? It seems as though Tom Corbett, who usually scurries away from television cameras like a cockroach when the lights come on, has begun a war on Pennsylvania’s poor.
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett has announced a major assault on the food stamp program that feeds 1.8 [...]

Parish Does the Right Thing

We’ve all smacked around Sussex County Clerk of the Peace George Parish for his vehement opposition to both civil unions and marriage equality. But yesterday he did the correct thing and presided over the county’s first same-sex civil union.
The ceremony united Milton Town Councilwoman Mary Hudson and her long-time partner Lynn Ekelund. Parish is [...]

Virginia GOP Officially Becomes Autocratic

I always love hearing the Fatman and that other RWNJ on WDEL spout off about how Democrats and Liberals are nothing but a bunch of socialists and “fellow travelers.” Apparently they haven’t been paying attention to the Virginia Republican Party.

The Virginia GOP has declared that anyone who wants to vote in the Presidential primary must sign a loyalty oath. Yes, you read that correctly, you must swear allegiance to the GOP and cross your heart and hope to die that you will vote for whomever the GOP presidential nominee is.

Oy, Are We Still Celebrating?

Yes, this is the next to last night of Chanukah.
A little story. We were the only Jewish family on our street. Most of the houses were decorated for Christmas, so my parents, not wanting us to feel left out, did the same. Except we had blue and white lights framing the [...]

All I Want for Chanukah………

This is a little tongue in cheek, but hey, after eating latkes and sufganiyot for a couple of days, you need to laugh a bit.
