UPDATED: WDEL 1150AM 1pm to 4pm / July 13th – 17th – Be there
UPDATE: I have to urge everyone to tune in and listen to Matt Denn this afternoon. The guy is funny as hell and very unguarded for a politician. He is also a sports nut (but hates hockey with a white hot passion) so he might be able to answer any Philly sports questions that are nagging at you provided they are not about hockey.

Normally at that time and channel, the airwaves are being polluted by the execrable Rick Jensen. However, with Jensen having puss drained out of the growth on his back this week, the show looks promising.

Wednesday (7/15) – Del. State Rep. Deborah Hudson,
former State Senator Charlie Copeland &

Push For Fed Investigations of Bush Administration Gains Momentum
John Manifold yesterday predicted that Scott Shane and the NY Times would follow up on their breaking story linking Dick Cheney to a CIA coverup with Congress. He was right. Eventual investigations almost seem inevitable now. In addition to the flood of information that was ‘dumped’ with the Friday release of the Inspector Generals’ reports, […]
Sotomayor Hearings Start Today
Within weeks we should have a new Supreme Court associate justice, but the Republicans will try to make things interesting. Among the people that have been called as witnesses against Sotomayor are a Bush appointee who foresaw the need to create internment camps for Arab-Americans, anti-abortion activists and Frank Ricci, the dyslexic fireman from the […]
Valley Swim Club Invites Kids Back To Pool
Earlier this week we read about the Valley Swim Club in Philadelphia which turned away 65 mostly African-American kids from a day camp. Today the Valley Swim Club announced that they were reversing the decision. Duesler said the club canceled its contract with the Creative Steps day-care because of safety, crowding and noise concerns, not […]
The New Rules
Welcome to Delaware Liberal 3.0. Along with the site redesign, we have decided to grant a complete and total amnesty to all previously banned or moderated commentators out there who have broken our site rules in the past. Why? Because we wanted to post iron clad and transparent rules for commenting on Delaware Liberal so […]
Welcome to DelawareLiberal 3.0
If you are reading this, hopefully the site looks very different than it did the last time you visited. If not, I screwed up again. Our new site is designed to improve your access to the best stories that we produce, while keeping all stories alive longer. We hope you like it. As always, we […]
Voters Favor Taxing The Rich….go figure.
Good stuff from fivethirtyeight.com. I don’t know which will be more satisfying. Seeing the Dems do the right thing for a change, or listening to the working class republican sheep bitch and moan about Pete DuPont being forced to pay 1% more in taxes.
The Sarah Palin Party
There has been endless discussion on this blog and elsewhere about Sarah Palin and her relationship with the Republican Party. Peggy Noonan wrote a recent op-ed about Sarah Palin, and how she’s a creation of the elite branch of the Republican Party: America doesn’t need Sarah Palin to prove it was, and is, a nation […]
How They Voted This Week
House
2010 foreign-affairs budget. Voting 318-106, the House approved a $48.8 billion foreign-affairs budget (HR 3081) for fiscal 2010 that provides $9.6 billion to operate the Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development while funding the hiring of more than 1,300 Foreign Service officers for duty mainly in Afghanistan and Pakistan. MIKE CASTLE voted to pass the bill.
“Gun Grabber” Mike Castle Coming for Your Glock
C’mon wingnut NRA freakshow. Pour millions into a primary. Pretty please… In all seriousness, this is a great tactical move by Castle as he tries to distance himself from the moronic shrieking mob on the right. Delaware is to the left on gun control and taking this up as a banner issue is hot button […]
The Dangers Of A Two Party System
Several weeks ago I wrote a post pointing out how, through closed primaries, the 21%ers will control who’s at the top of the Republican ticket. Frank Rich digs deeper, and, as bored as I am with Sarah Palin, Rich points out why we may be dealing with her in 2012. (Read the whole article.) In […]
