Each Friday morning from now on, I will post links to some key local Delaware stories in the Delaware blogosphere.
UPDATE: Our links to Delaware Watch, Delaware Way, Delaware Libertarian, Lower Slower Delaware, Tommywonk, and Kilroy are all taking you to an Error page on Blogger, stating that this blog cannot be found. This is not our fault, since we are inserting the correct permalinks into this post. It is just more evidence that Blogger sucks, and those still using it need to move over to WordPress or another blogging platform. I suck. It was my fault.
• First, I will be cleaning up the blogroll to the left. Blue State Rising, the official blog of the Delaware Democratic Party, has not updated since October. FAIL. Gazizza is gone too.
• Mike Matthews says our beloved progressive Senator, Karen Peterson, needs to pick her fights better, with the latest being over denying a liquor license to Hooters in Newark. I agree.
• David Anderson fears Matt Denn.
• Delaware Watch, Red Water Lily, Brian Shields, and Dave Anderson all cover the “Big Guy” becoming a Democrat.
• Tyler Nixon thinks the proposed Delaware Academy for Public Safety and Security is our own Delawarean version of Hitler Youth. Can’t say that I disagree.
• The comedian of the Delaware blogosphere, Kilroy, has some “must see” posts this week. First, Mike Matthews promises to lose 100 pounds to win Christine O’Donnell’s love. Second, the call for an Emergency Blog Summit. He also has some serious problems with Markell’s school funding and Coon’s proposed unpaid holidays.
• Dana Garrett reviews the $52,000,000 in projects that Wilmington wants from the Stimulus Bill.
• I know I said this is a local roundup, but I can leave Kavips and his take on the Republican Gamble out:
The House coalition of Republicans and the Senate coalition(sans 3) of Republicans, are betting that the stimulus plan will fail… Only if it does, and America is ruined in the process, can their actions be vindicated… If it succeeds, their Party flushes out the conservatives.
• MJ at Lower Slower Delaware reports a conversation he overhead at the Super G on Route 1:
“You don’t know what the White House is going to look like in a few years. They gonna have chicken bones and watermelon seeds all over the place. And he’s got his ho’s running around runnin’ everything.”
I have said it before and I will say it again: I can’t wait for these white trash racists to die off. Those who think like the person above, who call little children “ho’s” just because they are black little children, are scum. And if I ever show disdain for the South, or for Sussex County, this is the reason why. Sure, there are plenty of great people in the South and in Sussex County (including my parents, who retired to the latter), but the racists there need to hurry up and get over their prejudice, or die. I don’t care which.
• Dominique loves Jack Markell.
• Nancy at the Delaware Way covers the recent uproar over the firing of the School President Ron Russo of the Charter School of Wilmington.
• As always, I defer to Tommywonk on the latest happenings with Bluewater wind, and it’s parent company’s (Babcock & Brown) demise. For the conservative perspective, check out Steve Larrimore.
• Future President Tim McBride, whom we all know from the Jack Pack, reports at Down With Absolutes that Mat Marshall has been accepted at the University of Delaware! Congrats Mat!
