Day: November 14, 2011

Thomas Day, a 31 year old Iraq War veteran wrote a guest column yesterday in the Washington Post’s On Faith section. Mr. Day is also a Penn State graduate, a Catholic, an acquaintance of the monster Jerry Sandusky and a product of the now notorious Second Mile foundation. The point of his column to express what I think is a common theme running my and Mr. Day’s generation, and also the youth movement that has been behind both the election of Barack Obama in 2008 and also the Occupy Movement this year:

So I stumbled upon a diary on Daily Kos that was posted last week, and found it fascinating. The diarist created the State of Delmarva by taking Delaware and adding the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland and Virginia and then examines the effects on redistricting of on this new state.

Cain gives a Perryesque answer to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Libya, and then comes out in support of collective bargaining rights. He has already dropped 11 points in one poll, and Gingrich takes the lead in another. So the dream is over.

If all publicity is good publicity, the Occupy Delaware people have plenty to be pleased about with yesterday's News Journal coverage. "100 Protesters" feels like a large number and for the first few paragraphs the coverage was relatively free of the sneering condescension that NJ editors typically spray all over stories like this.
