High School - I drank whatever beer someone handed to me as I stood shivering in the woods somewhere. Probably Bud. College - What ever was cheapest. Usually Busch. Many…

Anita Perry said that she could sympathize with unemployed people because her son Griffin had to resign his job at a bank in order to campaign for his father, Texas…

When I first read the headline of Dialogue Delaware's recent story about Minority Leader Greg Lavelle's predicament, "Lavelle Mulling Senate Bid," I was confused. I thought for a brief moment the Republican Party had actually done something right and Lavelle was actually considering challenging Tom Carper. Well, maybe he is....

President Obama just announced that we are sending about 100 U.S. troops to Africa to help hunt down the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army. The Wikipedia article on the Lord's Resistance Army says that the group is based on apocalyptic Protestant Christianity. It is led by Joseph Kony, who proclaims himself the "spokesperson" of God sent to earth to establish a theocratic state based on the Ten Commandments. Sound familiar?

The LRA is accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation, sexual enslavement of women and children and forcing children to participate in hostilities.

But, you know... God told them, so....

A new Economist/YouGov poll finds Herman Cain leading the Republican presidential field with 33%, followed by Mitt Romney at 18%, Rick Perry at 10%, Newt Gingrich at 9%, Ron Paul at 7%, Jon Huntsman at 4% and Michele Bachmann at 3%. I am still just stunned. Racist teabaggers hate Romney so much that they are going to vote for a black man. I just love it. Meanwhile, John McCain is bad at math.... and lying.

As a private citizen, David Andersen can be as determined to be offensive as he wants to be. As a Representative of the City of Dover, I would think that Andersen could rethink this position.

"The piece trivializes the Holocaust. It draws inappropriate comparisons that offend the sensibilities of Holocaust survivors and those who appreciate the gravity of one of the most tragic episodes in human history," read the letter to Anderson, signed by ADL regional director Barry Morrison. Anderson maintains that the video, posted Sept. 20 by site contributor Fay Voshell of Wilmington, has nothing to do with the Holocaust.

In her most recent blog post, Cohen gets wistful over the good old days when imagining a Kovach vs. KWS match-up.

Stewart's woes could be an opening, especially for someone like Kovach. In a state known for its middle-of-the-road politics, he is a moderate Republican in the mode of Mike Castle.

There is not such thing as Delaware Style clam chowder. That's the point. There should be. Delaware needs a cultural identity beyond being the "Usury State." (Thanks Carper, you f*cker!) With our proximity to New Jersey, we are in danger of being culturally dominated by hair gel abusing douche-bags. Also, did you know what visitors to this state are greeted with when they stop at the new I-95 rest area? Crabs. Crabs! Like we are some kind of ersatz Maryland. F*ck that! To get the ball rolling, here are some things we need to have our own cultural identity. Click through....

As a parent of children who have to venture out onto the shoulders of busy roads to get anywhere, this makes my heart flutter in my chest.

The Governor’s goals for the proposed Statewide Trails and Pathways program are to...
