The Times They Are A Changin’
I expect to see gay marriage and marijuana legalized in my lifetime. (I really liked typing that sentence.) I’ve been feeling this way for quite some time, and, luckily for me, Nate Silver does the math. Nate on gay marriage: Unsurprisingly, there is a very strong correspondence between the religiosity of a state and its […]
Now This is Cool
Delaware’s coolest political event of the year just got cooler. Pam Tillis AND all proceeds this year go to the Delaware Food Bank.

From Despair to Hope. From Hate to Peace.
From hearing about three fathers with children, who also were police officers risking their lives for the public good, being gunned down due to the political hate engulfing a young man; to hearing about five children being killed in Washington State by a cowardly father who then took his own life; to hearing about 14 […]
Words Have Impact
For people like Dave Burris, politics is just a big game. When he pushed the GOP’s secessionist uprising talk on his blog, Delaware politics, he probably thought nobody would take that silly bit of GOP agitprop very seriously. He probably thought that a little tough talking gamesmanship was called for given the sad shape of […]

What I think surprises me the most is the letters that the News Journal posts. I have seen letters that mock the President with flat out lies. I have seen letters that suggest […]
QOM
Do you have a Sunday morning ritual? Something you find yourself doing every Sunday Morning without fail?
White Trash and Proud.
Exhibit A: Former potential son-in-law and grandbaby daddy Levi Johnston went on Tyra Banks’ show to proclaim that he and Bristol had safe sex “most of the time,” and baby Trip must have been the result of a “wardrobe malfunction.” LOL. Sarah Palin whipped out a response: “Bristol did not even know Levi was going […]
