Big shout out to Jason for covering for me a few times in the past few weeks. I wish I could say I was on vacation, but rather I was working my ass off. I probably won’t be around this weekend either, as I am headin’ down to the Virgin Festival for some sweet sounds. I think I’ve been promised 27 virgins, but it doesn’t mention it on my tickets…
Let’s start the show with Tommywonk’s parts 1 and 2 of cycling hazards and road design. I can feel his pain. You really need a good country road to lay down some cycling miles and live to tell the tale. Speedy recover, my friend.
Speaking of roads, how about that Indian River Bridge? Mike has a horrible picture which he hopes scares the hell out of Carolann Wicks.
Over at Delaware Watch, Dana waxes philosophical about the predilections of his new political party. Specifically, the mediocrity that Hillary represents and how much the neocons seem to love it…
Meanwhile Nancy shows us that Obama seems to have a horse in the pro-nuke debate. Strangely, Hillary is wishy-washy on it.
Sanjay covers the new lapdog-from-across-the-pond with a caption contest. My caption: Hey Gordo, watch me drive us both off another cliff!
Kavips has been doing some digging in order to smack down Dave Burris and finds some interesting data in the annals of the state revenue reports. In the words of Ross Perot “Do ya hear that giant sucking sound?”
Speaking of Dave, the leading Mitt supporter (besides the magic underwear) has the gall to claim that Barack Obama is tanking because of a few small gaffes, quickly corrected. Meanwhile, Mitt still wants to double Gitmo… In other news, Dave is overjoyed that consumer confidence has now reached the level that it was under Clinton… Nice.
Joining the wingnut chorus is Duffy and Felix. It’s like having out own right wing conspiracy here in Delaware.
I do like the DWA post about Jack Markell’s new hot endorsement. I feel like moving just to vote for Melanie George Marshall. Also, there seems to be a certain level of sexual tension over at DWA, looking at the titles of the article he has some issues to work out.
Over at Liberal Delight, Ryan Mc is astonished at the people that seek advice from complete imbeciles. Me too.
Mat over at the soapbox is sorting out the candidates by their views on medical marijuana. Guess what? Mitt is uncertain…
Over at Mikes Musings, Mike has hit the 80K mark on the Prius. I do get a smug look about me when I pull up to get gas at $3 a gallon. Congrats, Mike.
Paul Smith has a post up about how a German government agency is promoting incest. I get the feeling (from a lack of evidence) that someone mistranslated the manual. Then again, I can think of at least one high ranking official at the Vatican that hails from Deutchland. Hmmm.
I think I have to check my meds. Ryan at JttR made some sense. Granted, he did so by linking to one of my favorite left-leaning magazines, Rolling Stone. Ethanol is a boondoggle.
Finally, Kilroy has a lot to say about the city of Wilmington staying out of Christina’s affairs. Personally, I disagree with Kilroy, the city of Wilmington is a constituent and the district has not been an honest broker in the past.
I’ll be rockin’ out in at Pimlico this weekend. But I promise to take some time to remember the 68,172 Iraqi civilians and 3,662 American soldiers kiled so that Bush could avenge a threat on his Daddy.
