Government Corruption in Delaware.......

noooo....energy scandals are de rigueur for the good old boys club in Delaware, but according to Jason Scott, State Senator Harris McDowell has taken it to a whole new level. As Delaware Liberal noted "we may be even able to call it criminal malfeasance" and if we look at the long term effects he is trying to have we could say much worse, but I will leave that to you.

It looks like someone was taking executive strategy meetings right out of Ken Lay's playbook before Enron imploded.

A very big h/t to Jason Scott for one of the best pieces of investigative journalism I have ever seen on the blogosphere and for posting the text of HB 235 veto by Gov. Ruth Ann Minner.

Good Job Jason and right on Ruth Ann.

After you read the piece you will see why Delaware Politics had this to say illustrating why a new voice is needed for for the people of the state and the people district 1 in Delaware.....

This is the reason why we have an energy crisis in Delaware, and on another level it is this kind of behavior that precipitated the world food crisis. It is the 21st century people and time for this kind of behavior to stop.

We both know Harris McDowell has moved into the seamy underbelly of Delaware, local and very bitter politics. I think we all recognize it is time for a change in direction.

So I am encouraging everyone who reads this site, whether you are from Delaware or from Hawaii, to write, e-mail or call Senator McDowell's office and let them know exactly what you think after you finish reading Jason's article and recognize that this may have been Governor Ruth Ann Minner's ONLY veto during her term as governor.

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

The disturbing decline of the Delaware blogosphere: a very unfortunate Around the Horn (even if it's not Friday)

I've noticed a change in my own blog-checking habits over the past several weeks, and I don't know if it's just me or the reality of the last month of a divisive political campaign. I automatically used to check out Delawareliberal first and several times a day, because it was where I could find edgy, thought-provoking, and (dare I say it) funny banter going on. These days visit several other spots first, and my visits to DL are both shorter and less engaged. Why? Because the combination of invading neo-con commenters with the stridency of some of the major contributors has led to such pleasant exchanges as a post dedicated to labeling another blogger racist by donviti, whose own sense of provocative humor is generally so far out there that he makes John Belushi doing Samurai bartender on the SNL look positively pro-Asian. Or I can find Delawaredem and jason periodically spewing the idea that anybody who is not a liberal or progressive Democrat is somehow a non-American,...
