The Mighty Blue Hen is Soaring

Filed in Delaware by on January 1, 2010

Ryan Cormier has a great piece in The News Journal today about how Delaware’s stock has risen dramatically in 2009. The article starts off with a joke about Delaware from a Hollywood movie — not Wayne’s World II — and takes off from there.

When it comes to Delaware’s 2009 coming-out party, Biden’s success was the game-changer, leading to everything from his own boisterous character on “Saturday Night Live” to the January whistle-stop visit from Barack and Michelle Obama and Joe and Jill Biden at Wilmington’s Riverfront Park.

Take a moment from you day and read this article.

    Now if only those of us in the other 2/3 of the state could get some positive attention.

    Maybe if you guys exorcise the Teabaggers you would eclipse us northerners. 🙂

    BTW, I think Dave Burris is doing a great job presenting Southern Delaware.

    the other 2/3 of the state is irrelevant. chicken farmers and nascar fans… yeah we want YOUR opinion. Why dont you join the residents of Indian River and go on another jew hunt? hick

  4. Brooke says:

    Yeah, I’m over the moon that Beltway politicians are interested in raising the prices of beach real estate and ignoring the impact of over development. It’s my long held dream.

  5. nemski says:

    a. price, so you really are still drunk, huh? 🙂

  6. pandora says:

    Whoa… a price. You okay? Because that last comment was really unfair.

  7. A. price says:

    ok, SOME people down there arent Klan members. But aside from the beaches and down town dover, every part of lower delaware I’ve seen and read about might as well be Mississippi. sorry if i offended anyone.

  8. anon says:

    still shkunk as a drunk! i mean…

    geez, a., get a grip. come down south sometime (not during the summer… the beaches then have about as much resemblance to real sussex as downtown wilmington at midnight has to new castle county) and have a scrapple sandwich. go fishin’ in the crick and paddle a millpond in a canoe. go antiquing. ride a bike. pick some strawberries and watermelons.

    but if you’re expecting a tar-ghey on every corner and a starbucks every block, don’t bother. we don’t wantcha. 😉

    yeah, because people drive for hundreds of miles to see East Wilmington and Glasgow, right? Wonderful vacation spot.

    Ok, so being a Democrat in parts of Sussex is sometimes like being a snowball at a bonfire, but hey, we still exist, dammit. And if chickens could vote, look out. We’d have have the majority!
