Donviti and Jason330 Sittin’ in a Tree
In a bolt out of the blue, Jason called me today and asked me to put up a podcast that he and Donviti put together on a variety of subjects. It’s like cats and dogs sleeping together.
Here are the “tags” that Jason asked me to include in the post (verbatim):

Sussex County Council President on the Take?
What would you say if I told you that the President of The Sussex County Council was paid $5,000 in salary by the largest developer in Sussex County? Sounds pretty fishy, eh? Well that is exactly what developer and Republican candidate for US Congress Glenn Urquhart is doing with his campaign funds.
Let’s review. Glenn Urquhart [...]
Can I Get an Oh My!
No Delaware public figure generates more angry letters to the Delaware Liberal tip line more than Insurance Commissioner, Karen Weldin Stewart. We have probably received more than 50 of them about her since she was sworn in a little over a year ago. Most are rants of unsubstantiated rumors and vague assurances that her house [...]

What Have We Become?
I’ve been pondering this question for quite some time, but it took El Somnambulo’s post concerning corrupt judges to drive me to my keyboard. Call it the straw that broke the camel’s back – and this camel is thoroughly disgusted.
Who are we?
I really want to know. I want to know what sort of country barely [...]
Workforce Housing To Blow Up Into MAJOR Scandal
That’s how I read this section of Randy Nelson’s DTR blog post.
One of the major issues: the influence of Pamela Scott on New Castle County land use and development issues, particularly with respect to crafting the legislation. Scott, a partner in the law firm of Saul Ewing, who represents one of Delaware’s biggest developers, is [...]

The DHS Starts Ripping Off Really Bad Star Trek
And this is how you know that your government exists only to transfer taxpayer funds to their pals — witness: an Electronic ID bracelet that also stuns misbehaving passengers.
Someone at Homeland Security is actually thinking about this device that you’d be fitted with when you check in; that will somehow also be coded to [...]
The Week That Was
The fantastic kavips surveys the interesting headlines of the day and wonders if we are as cocky as we were last week after Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. If I am to believe the evidence of my newsreader, Delaware Liberal doesn’t rate too highly on the cockiness meter, but I have no doubt that [...]

Even Newt Says Republicans Are Toast
And I think he may mean burnt — read this carefully:
The Anti-Obama, Anti-Wright, and Anti-Clinton GOP Model Has Been Tested — And It Failed The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that if Republicans try to run an anti-Obama, anti- Reverend Wright, or (if Senator Clinton wins), anti-Clinton campaign, they are simply [...]
David Vitter’s Judgment Sucks All-Around
David Vitter (R-LA) was trying to get away from reporters questions about an affair with a prostitute as fast a possible. So fast, in fact, that he ran over a sign. Impaired judgment becomes you, Senator.

A Guest Post from Senator Tom Carper
Donviti –
I am displeased to find out that you have joined others at Delaware Liberal in disparaging my reputation because you have a problem with my so-called “voting record.”
Frankly, I expected more from you. Although I’m from West Virginia I have a deep respect for your people and flatter myself to think that I [...]

Brilliant tactical move
If you don’t pay the investigator investigating you, then well, he goes away…
That is what I call changing the culture of corruption baby
“I’m Kind of Disappointed in You, Senator”
Take a few minutes and listen to the leaked audio of the police interview with Larry Craig. Say good night, Gracie.

Congratulations Mary Cheney
Yesterday Mary Cheney and her partner gave birth to a baby boy, Samuel David Cheney at 8 pounds, 6 ounces. This child marks the high point of irony for the Bush administration. And that is saying something.

Now That Falwell’s Gone, Gay Flamingos Can Adopt
I found this curious (no pun intended). There is a pair of gay flamingos in England that has been “a couple” for 6 years and they have recently adopted a chick. The hatched again flamingo movement is not happy and is crying “fowl.”
Let’s not let Cheney anywhere near them with a gun.
Wolfowitz and His Love Affair with The World Bank
So you have probably already heard the one about the corrupt anti-corruption World Bank head, Paul Wolfowitz. Paul, it seems knew that what he was doing would be seen as a conflict of interest. There are a few interesting things about this situation:
I think this reveals this administration’s disdain for accountability, despite beating the accountability [...]

Why Did Rove Have Research in Motion Shut Down Last Night?
If you are a user of a crackberry, you were non-plussed this morning. Last night Research in Motion (the blackberry people) had a serious meltdown of their systems. I wonder if Karl had them pull all of his emails off of their servers and caused a system failure… (h/t Fred)
