Nominations Being Accepted: Biggest Delaware Policy Screwup of the Year
Last years winner for this category was “Offshore Windfarm Coitus Interruptus.” Thankfully, Delaware fixed their mistake and at least got a deal done (although not as big a deal as I would have liked). This year, with the Delaware Economy on the brink along with the rest of the country and Workforce Housing in New […]
hypothetical QOD
If you were a parent and you had 3 children and you didn’t have a computer in your home for their schoolwork would you travel to say Los Angeles with your live-in-boyfriend for 3 days the week of New Year’s?
DTR Interview of Karen Weldin Stewart Reviews
I don’t listen to Delaware Talk Radio, but I hear they interviewed our esteemed Insurance Commissioner-elect. So did they tear into her plans to reconstitute “pay to play” or what?
(Not So) Deep Thought of the Day with A Side of Question

Happy Chanukah from Delaware Liberal
Have a happy Chanukah, one and all! During Chanukah, we remember how the Jews (led by the Maccabees) won their independence from King Antiochus IV of the Selucid Empire (a Hellenistic successor to Alexander the Great’s empire, stretching from Turkey to Pakistan), who outlawed their religious practices, sacked Jerusalem, and defiled their temple. Before the […]
Obama’s Weekly Video Address
President-Elect Obama is really beginning to freak me out when he says things like this: Because the highest purpose of science is the search for knowledge, truth and a greater understanding of the world around us. That will be my goal as President of the United States—and I could not have a better team to […]
