The Pooh-Poohing of Concern.
[UPDATE]: I had posted this about an hour ago, and we had a good number of comments on it. Unfortunately, our server has suffered a glitch, and everything posted over the last hour, including comments, has been lost. I blame the Republicans. Dana Pico has a valid concern: I have one, and really only one, […]
Anonymous Blogging
We’ve had our arguments in the Delaware blogosphere about anonymous blogging, sometimes with outings, sometimes not. But at the end of it all, I believe we’ve agreed to disagree. Not so in Alaska. Apparently an Alaska State Representative took it upon himself to out the creative force behind Mudflats. Shouldn’t a state representative have more […]
Holder Chooses Experience Over Politics
The new Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, is beginning to keep his word by making appointments based on experience rather than political litmus tests, say did you graduate from Regents University. Said one prosecutor: The attorney general is really making sure that people understand there’s a new sheriff in town, and prosecutors […]
Drug Decriminalization in Portugal: Blueprint for America?
By now, any reasonable person, including the relatively few sane Republicans, have recognized that minimum mandatory sentencing for nonviolent drug offenders is a disaster. The results have been billions wasted on prison expansions and increases, not decreases, in recidivism rates, and drug wars raging on the US/Mexican border. So, what’s the alternative?

Breaking! ‘Real’ People in Nat’l Org. for Marriage Spot Are Actors. And Here are the Auditions…
Pandora ran a ‘Pointless/Counterpoint’ thread below featuring ‘real’ people reallyreally concerned about the so-called homosexual agenda. Well, yes, they’re real people as long as actors are considered real people (Alfred Hitchcock on actors: “I never said they were cattle. I said they should be treated like cattle”). You doubt the Beast Who Slumbers? Allow ‘bulo […]
Women Should Not Have This Fear
As a man, sometimes I forget how tough it is to be a woman. Seriously, no joke here. Stop Street Harassment, a blog for women about the constant harassment they face on America’s streets, blogs about a Delaware woman who was followed by a man in a pickup who was subsequently arrested. Men, think about […]
