You will remember when I first came to Delaware Liberal, my new compatriots were kind enough to allow me to bring over a logo I used on my old blog “Daily Delaware,” the one with the Caesar Rodney quarter. I did not learn until many months later that our illustrious founder Jason330 was kind of reluctant to do that, since Mike Castle was the author of the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act of 1997 that created the 50 State Quarter Program, and since Jason330 was Mike Castle’s mortal enemy. I felt kinda bad about that.
I was put in mind of that after reading the latest Kavips:
If you haven’t followed closely, the local media is pushing for Castle. Which means … if you want change, Mike Castle is exactly the person you do not want to vote for.
If you like inaction, people who say one thing and vote another, and prefer someone who sells Delaware out in a heartbeat to the whims of the National Republican Party, then Mike Castle is your man…
If you have ever heard Chris Coons speak, you know he is the future of Delaware. Running New Castle County, is a thankless job… especially during a time of financial collapse. But for 10 years, Chris Coons has done just that… While Mike Castle was wandering the halls of Congress sort of like Spinal Tap lost in the labyrinth of passageways underneath their venue, Chris Coons was getting things done with less…
Sometimes you have not to look at what was accomplished, but at how much was accomplished out of nothing… and that will probably be the legacy of Chris Coons during this decade.
Chris Coons built something out of shrinking revenues. Mike gave us quarters…
Now that is a slogan. It must be something to spend nearly 2 decades in Congress, and your crowning legislative achievement is redesigning the quarter. Thanks Mike.
