On Charlie Brown
One of the joys I had growing up was reading the comics page. The one comic that was always there, no matter what paper, was The Peanuts.

Day Two: Biden’s Bullshit Still Stinks
As Delaware news days go, yesterday was a doozy. The events and the way they were handled reveal alot about the string pullers here in Delaware and who really has and does not have juice. Bloggers don’t have juice. That is a given. John Carney didn’t have enough juice to influence events, but as this […]
