Today’s punditry by, the NYT’s Helene Cooper, is ostensibly about Joe Biden’s changing role in the Obama White House, but the subtext is really about how utterly powerless everyone in Washington is who is not a Republican Senator. “If he’s going to try to get anything done in a partisan divide, and a divided Senate, […]

Hens Giving 6 Points Vs. Battered New Hampshire
Who knew New Hempshire even had a football program? New Hampshire has a crappy 3-3 road record this year, and the Wildcats Quarterback Kevin Decker, is penciled in to make his first start of the season in place of the injured R.J. Toman. While Delaware’s defense allowed 362 passing yards and two touchdowns in their […]
