Around the Horn Friday
First, here is a post by RSmitty that defies categorization below. It is a post on Father’s Day. What a week. Homosexuals finally don’t have to fear being fired just because they are gay. But they are still not treated equally under Delaware law, and it is time to extend the right to marry to […]
The Delaware State Senate Is Changed Forever
With the passing of Thurman Adams, the Delaware State Senate will never be the same. And the State of Delaware will be much the better for it.

Jay Rockefeller is “getting it.” On Thursday, Rockefeller admitted he expects little bipartisan support. “There is a very small chance any Republicans will vote for this health-care plan. They were against Medicare and Medicaid [created in the 1960s]. They voted against children’s health insurance. “We have a moral choice. This is a classic case of […]

Arlen Specter told a boisterous crowd of union activists today that he backs a public health insurance […]

Cardiac arrest. Wasn’t breathing when the paramedics arrived. The cause is unknown, but he had reportedly just caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zpTQCQEFhg[/youtube] Who knew that when he was looking in the mirror and exhorting himself to ‘Make that change’ he was talking about his pigmentation and the shape of his nose?

Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Thursday, June 25

Here is the House roll call. Anyone considering running against Greg Lavelle in his Brandywine Hundred district […]
