Romney Just Lost Virginia

Filed in National by on September 5, 2012 27 Comments

I was just over at Electoral-vote.com (a great site that I don’t visit enough) and saw that Virgil Goode, Presidential candidate for the Constitution Party and long-time Virginia Congressman, has made the ballot in Virginia. As a Virginia local running to the right of Romney, this should be the death-knell of the Romney campaign.  At […]

Spending, Taxes, Deficit: Lower Now Than Inauguration Day

The facts, as laid out by Think Progress. Reality, as we all know, has a liberal bias.

An Interesting Poll

Filed in National by on December 15, 2010 5 Comments

Steve Benen breaks it down, but here is what stands out to me: Elsewhere in the poll, Americans said they are concerned about the deficit, but when asked about nine different ideas for deficit reduction, the public opposed all nine. Try not to be surprised.  [emphasis mine] Seriously, we’re all talk. About that GOP mandate… […]

Tone Deaf

Filed in Delaware, National by on December 13, 2010 51 Comments

I’m really not certain if writing this post is worth it.  I’m also not certain I want to go down this road again.  Truth is… I’m weary.  Even sadder, I’m tuning out. First, this isn’t a post about policy – it’s about tone. On that note, I have a few questions for certain Progressives/Liberals/Democrats: What […]

It Was Only A Matter Of Time

Filed in National by on May 27, 2010 18 Comments

There was no avoiding this. In fact, impeachment talk moved yesterday from Tea Party rallies to at least one Republican Member of the House, Darrell Issa. And Issa’s not an obscure backbencher; he’s the ranking Republican on Oversight and Government Reform, and he also sits on the Judiciary Committee. The incentives all run to impeachment, […]

“It’s Worth Thinking About”

Filed in National by on February 4, 2010 1 Comment

At yesterday’s Q&A with Democrats Obama delivered a line that should have every Democrat sitting up and taking notice.  If you watch the video below one thing stands out – Obama is not laughing. “There was apparently a headline after the Massachusetts election. The Village Voice announced that Republicans win a 41-59 majority. It’s worth […]

I Feel Like I’ve Been Here Before

Filed in National by on January 19, 2010 56 Comments

If you haven’t read Kevin Drum’s article, please do.  He puts into words exactly how I feel. The striking thing to me, though, is how fast the left has turned on him. Conservatives gave Bush five or six years before they really turned on him, and even then they revolted more against the Republican establishment […]

2010: The Year They Go Even More Insane?

Filed in National by on January 7, 2010 15 Comments

You gotta love the Republicans. And by Republicans, I am talking about their idiotic birther teabagger deather base, and not necessarily elected Republican officials (although certain elected officials like Palin and Bachmann certainly fit the former and the latter). They all, to the last man and woman, think they are going to win back Congress […]

Impatient for Beau

Filed in National by on December 23, 2009 6 Comments

Beau Biden is enjoying his time home with his family, and tackling the AG’s office after a year away. Personally, I believe he will run and I believe the race, once underway, will not be close. But our 24 hour 7 days a week national media wanted their instant gratification yesterday.

Looking For Some Good News?

As a person who’s been held hostage and treated like cargo by the airlines, I’m thrilled with this new law. Via Think Progress: Responding to horror stories of stranded travelers, the Obama administration ordered airlines today to allow passengers to disembark from planes that have been stuck on the tarmac for more than three hours. […]

The Castle Conundrum

Filed in National by on November 17, 2009 15 Comments

To win this election, Castle must now go negative, and he cannot if he wants to win the election. To win this election, Castle must be the moderate he has professed himself to be, and, for some reason, after all these years, he is acting like the conservative he is.

Did Dems Ever Do This to the Bush Twins?

Filed in National by on November 9, 2009 50 Comments

Oh, wait, Dems weren’t allowed in the clubs’ VIP rooms when the Bushies were cavorting. Anyways, here’s what happened at Sidwell Friends (where the Obama girls go to school) this morning. I am sure that the Quaker school took this message from the Westboro Baptist Church directly to heart: “Quakers?! Are you frigging kidding me? […]

Only in Delaware

Those damn Capanos. Gerry Capano, the monster who shot a hole into Anne Marie Fahey’s ice chest coffin so it would sink, had a little domestic dispute this past week. Who represented him at court as a public defender? Ferris Wharton. Who was his judge? Jane Brady. Seriously, there is an argument to be made […]
