RIP, Patrick Swayze
Patrick Swayze has died. He was 57 years old and had been suffering from pancreatic cancer. I think everyone around my age has seen Dirty Dancing many, many times. Link to Time of My Life, from the movie Dirty Dancing.
Yikes! The Delaware Blogosphere Has Lost Another
I just surfed over to Delaware Watch and saw that Dana Garrett has posted a goodbye of sorts. He has apparently decided to hang the blog up for a while, as he has a new job. I can relate, as I have been unable to get the inspiration to post lately (other than what we […]
The 2002 Reapportionment-Another View
This morning, I wrote that the seeds for defeat for Saturday’s Special Election in the 37th RD were sown with the reapportionment of 2002, and the Republican gerrymandering and Democratic acquiescence that took place in Sussex County and elsewhere.

Another Clown Enters the Clown Car
A crowded field for 2012 may get even more crowded. Everyone’s favorite crazy ex-Senator is thinking of running for president. Yes, it’s Rick Santorum! They were not, however, ended permanently.
