A Historical Perspective On Health Care Reform
The DCCC released a web ad that puts a historical perspective on the health care reform legislation. The video traces health care reform from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama. It’s great!
Insurance Commissioner Enlists Local Help
Last night I received an inscrutable email from my fellow blogger and former Sussex County Republican Chair, Dave Burris. This is not unusual, I rarely understand what he is talking about. But I just received a press release that makes even less sense.
Karen Weldin Stewart, The Delaware Insurance Commissioner, has enlisted the help of David Burris of Milford to assist the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) in local outreach and public relations.
HB194 Not Being Worked Thursday
Just saw this in my email about this bill that would authorize two more casinos.
Affordable Care Act Survives Its First Challenge
In case you missed it yesterday, the ACA survived the first of what will undoubtedly be many attempts to nip at the edges of its authority. The issue at hand this time was the provision that insurers would be prohibited from denying to coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. The goal and spirit of the law […]
Good Times… Good Times
I just went back to take a look at the old DL endorsement post from October 2008. I stated that DL did not endorse in the Insurance Commissioner race in one of the threads today. This is true. It is interesting looking at the comments that this non-endorsement generated.
Is Eric Bodenweiser Sussex County’s Joan of Arc or Another False Prophet?
Eric Bodenweiser, one of the founders of the now-defunct Sussex County Community Organized Regiment (SKKKOR) is on a mission to save the 14th RD, and by doing that, saving Sussex County. He has House Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf (D-Rehoboth Beach) in his figurative gun sight (knowing how off-balanced Bodie is, it might be literally, too). […]
Ron Williams States His Problem With Bloggers And Then Proceeds To Use Their Work
On today’s opinion page of the News Journal Ron Williams makes several points. 1. He really doesn’t like bloggers, especially anonymous bloggers 2. Bloggers that use to be journalists are sorta okay, but, in general, he doesn’t like bloggers. 3. Having got that off his chest he then proceeds to write an article about a […]

Legislative Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show-Wed., March 31
“Idle hands are the Devil’s playground.” Prof. Harold Hill- “The Music Man” No doubt this is a biblical reference as well, a book I’ve been meaning to read for some time now. I use it here b/c we’re starting to see well-meaning, but dangerous, legislation starting to surface, most concerning additional charges for existing crimes. […]
John Kerry Boosts Chris Coons
I think we’ve all been a little disappointed since Chris Coons announced his Senate run but hasn’t been very visible. There’s some increasing evidence that his campaign is starting the ramp up, and he just got a big boost from John Kerry. John Kerry’s PAC announced his “Final Four,” four Senate seats that he says […]

He Knows Why The Caged Bird Sings
I think I know how Glenn Beck chooses his guest hosts. Beck picks someone more nutty than he is so that he sounds sane by comparison. Case in point, guest host Doc Thompson: On Glenn Beck’s radio show this morning, guest-host Doc Thompson explained his belief that he, as a white person, is a victim […]
