UPDATED: Castle Speaks in Philly – Tea Leaf Readers Have At It
Update: realclearpolitics.com picked up the DiStefano column. I’d expect that “They’ve asked me to run for the Senate as a Republican. comment to start turning up everywhere in the next few days. Read Joseph N. DiStefano’s whole column, it is a doozy. Here are some oddly unguarded musing from the 99 year old Congressman. “They’ve asked […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show-June, 23,2009
Presumably Dick Cathcart has spent the past four days reading all the fine print in the Governor’s budget proposal, and presumably he’ll be prepared to provide his Mindless Minions with their marching orders in Caucus today. Not a bad idea with only a week to go in the legislative session and an $800 million budgetary […]

The Delaware Blogging Community to Shrink
It looks like in the next few weeks, Delaware blogging will lose two of its longest running blogs. Mike Matthews over at Down With Absolutes has been pretty clear that he is planning to go to an all-twitter format. He has gone so far as to look for someone to take over for him. Today, […]
