Why on earth people in this country still allow Male Genital Mutalation is beyond me. Feel free to educate yourself about this awful religious custom that has been going on for THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Protecting Baby Boys and Men from Circumcision What amazes me is the fact that pretty intelligent people allow themselves to be […]
A Thigh Party
Um, yeah. Politicians like bear hugs, handshakes, gripping your upper arm, patting you on the back, but …. inner thigh? Lap dancers in strip clubs don’t place their hand on your inner thigh for the entire evening, not that I would know anything about that.

My God! Western Sussex County from the MD line to Kent is a festering hell hole. (If the parts visible from Rt 13 are representative.) The place must be governed by a bunch of drunken, inbred losers.
Castle’s Running…
… if you believe this observation from Celia Cohen. Minor giveaways were distributed to the crowd [at the Hockessin Independence Day parade].

It Would Be Like Putting Me In Charge Of The NRA
Meet Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s possible choice to head the state’s Board of education – Cynthia Dunbar.

Ensign Affair Still Raising Eyebrows…And Questions
When I first read about the Ensign affair I thought it was just your standard, run-of-the-mill scandal, but it’s scandal that won’t end. First, Doug Hampton gave an interview to the Las Vegas Sun. TPM Muckraker gives us the summary of the revelations: Hampton said that Ensign paid Cindy more than $25,000 in severance when […]
Around the Horn Friday
It has been a little slow around here this week, as I think the weeks surrounding the Fourth of July are common vacation months for some of us. And with the General Assembly out of session, the news and reaction to that news has slowed as well. Given the slowness, I will begin a new […]
