Around the Horn Friday
Kavips is now required reading. I hereby order you to read “Jump Starting America: The Kavipsian Plan to Fixing the Economy,” “The New Bad Assets Plan,” “Taxes and Balancing the State Budget,” “Scary Tea Leaves,” where he has the inside story on Valero and rising gas prices, and also predicts, based on the rise in the number of corporate jets landing at the NCCo Airport, a rise in corporate bankruptcies by the end of the month. That he is without a job in either the Obama or Markell Administrations is a travesty of untold and biblical proportions.
Delaware Libertarian reminds us of a central rule of recipients of government spending: “if you don’t spend it all, you won’t get as much next time.” The Markell Administration is not immune.
Does Steve Newton really think the Second Great Depression will be less devastating just because it is being broadcast in color?
Steve also has a reaction to our battle with the Glenn Beckers this week here at DL. He makes some good points, and is off base on other points. Pandora has a good response here.
Tyler has problems with Wilmington’s vacant property fine program. I would like to know his solution to blighted properties. Like what Mayor Nutter said this week in embarrassing a delinquent lawyer who has to pay over $300,000 in back taxes: Pay them and there will be no problem.
Steve did not like the Watchmen. Question, am I the only over 30 year old on Earth who has no idea or memory of the Watchmen comics? Another Question, I hear that this Watchman character is completely and visibly naked throughout the entire film, save for a coat of blue paint. True? How can he be a superhero with his junk exposed? Isn’t that a massive Achilles’s heel for a supposed Superhero? All you have to do is kick him in the family jewels.
Shirley has information on an Eminent Domain Forum being held in two weeks at Widener School of Law.
Paul Clark is at it again.
And Nancy, it is time for the Delaware Way to redesign. I cannot tell what is your thoughts and work, and what is quotes from another press release or article. Sometimes there is great stuff there, but it is hard to follow.
Tommywonk offers his opinions on the State Energy Plan.
Allan Loudell discusses a National Journal article about Vice President Biden being unlike all recent prior Vice Presidents.
Mat Marshall offers the best description of DWA that I have seen written:
When I feel like being an asshole or otherwise cannot categorize myself properly, I’ll post here [at DWA].
LOL. I kid.
Mike Matthews liveblogs the Red Clay School Board meeting. I love his liveblogs.
And he then takes on the racist WGMD host Bill Colley.
You have read our take on the KWS’ latest idiocy. Read his take.
Kilroy is once again a must read on education, especially his posts about violence in our schools.
Mike Mahaffie has a report from the Delaware Education Workshop.
Hube has a problem with diversity programs at the University of Delaware. Shocking, I know.
Question, am I the only over 30 year old on Earth who has know idea or memory of the Watchmen comics?
No, I don’t know them, either. You are, however, the only over-30-year-old to overlook the difference between know and no.
Sorry, couldn’t resist. 😛
HEY! Where are my posts?
I am editing that now. I thought about posting a link to your discussion about Kavips Valero comments, but thought it would be redundant, since I already linked to Kavips.
And to be clear, I am only looking for links to local content.
No “diss” intended RSmitty. I got nothing from Burris this week either. And there is nothing from Dana Garrett as well.

Yes, I think you are 🙂
I’m just giving you a hard time since it seems to be my mantra on this weekly post. 🙂
Plus, last week, you included me and it generated what…a whole four comments? Not exactly incentive.
lol
Lol.
Thanks for the praise, but it’s economy is the real hero.
Top three banks will post surprisingly good quarters, mostly from all the free money that came into them, proving once again that sitting around and doing nothing except to stir dissent and go public on your hope that the new president fails, is an treasonous waste of time.
The final leg propping up thier mantra that tax cuts work, has just been severed
They are now as effective, as the Black knight on Monty Python…..

Conspiracy on!
Kavits; First off kudos on your solution post, the blame game is a dead enders game that can always be played later.
Now on the banks showing a profit, the word nationalization and the frequentsy of it`s being talk about in regards to these same banks may have encouraged some really creative accounting. Do not trust them, there is no concreat reason they should be doing better, defaults and foreclosures are still creating more toxic assets. A cornered beast will do anything to survive.
In 2006, Dalto got 46.3% of the vote and Wagner got 53.7%.
2006 Year End Financial Report
Dalto – $2 remaining
Wagner – $33,682 remaining
Wagner is going to be toast if John Brady runs for Auditor.
