Comment Rescue
Anon writes: From the Cape Gazette (link): “…the fate of Sussex Republican Chairman Dave Burris, who was recently appointed to the position, may be a topic of discussion at the regional meeting of the Sussex County Republicans at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, April 9, at Delaware Tech College. Burris has received criticism in some Republican […]
Media Bias
No one disputes the fact that the “media” is biased. Alan Loudell makes the observation that is reporters and editors who are middle and upper-middle class bring a class bias to the stories they do. If they are good journalists they might be a bit more aware of that bias, but it is still there. […]
Around the Horn Friday: Hoppin’ Down the the Bunny Trail Edition
It has been a busy week for me personally, so sorry that I haven’t posted much. Damn corporate intrigue. Luckily, in my relative absence, donviti has stepped in and filled the void. Great posts dude. Myself, Tom Noyes, Jason and donviti (just missing Dr. Nick) all converged on Iron Hill last week for Drinking Liberally. […]

Cheney Grandson to be Raised by Lesbian Couple
Cheney’s daughter will be giving birth to a baby boy next month. Presumably the baby will leave the hospital to the shouts of well-wishers saying things like “Sinner!” or “God hates Lesbians” or some other traditional Judeo-Christian offering of peace. You should see them at funerals…
Why Mormonism May be a Problem for Romney
I don’t care what religion a candidate is. Just don’t shove it down my throat (Hint, hint George). But that doesn’t mean that the same sort of whack jobs that supported Bush only because he was born again don’t exist in Mormonism. A friend shot me a link to a blog where the Mormon husband […]

Delaware Charter Schools: Separate, Unequal
A study conducted by The Western Michigan University Evaluation Center found that Delawares charter school experiment is resulting in a resegregation of schools and the predictable negatives that go along with that separation. Minority schools are under-funded, under-performing and under-staffed. I have always feared that resegregation was the goal of some in the Charter movement […]

Wanted: Information about these shadowy public figures
After reading Donviti’s post, it occurred to me that we hardly know anything about Delaware’s media/pundit elite. They are the creators, framers and filters of the Delaware’s conventional wisdom and are not shy about using their various platforms to promote their own agendas. They have have no difficulty passing off their biases and preconceptions as […]
I’m popping my cherry!
i’m already over my 1 post limit, but that other one doesn’t count. “I’m a rebel Dotty!” Mr Bush was doing his best to contribute to global warming by blowing more hot air for the plants in the Rose Garden. Bush by the way thinks the Rose Garden is a national park I kid you not. So […]
“Here I am Lord, It is I Lord”
Here I am Lord, It is I Lord. I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart. I thought some of you readers would appreciate a nice hymnal being the Lenten season and all. While in church this Past Palm Sunday […]
