Voting Rights…They Were Nice

There was a time in the United States when states could enact barriers to voting. They could make it difficult or even impossible for certain populations to vote.  Then there…

Eagles Pre-Game – Week 4

Eagles vs Jags 1:00pm on CBS. In sports, as in life, when things are going good we sometimes dwell on the how things might eventually fall apart.  Indeed, the entire Fox News media empire is built on keeping the dummies who watch it topped-off to the brim with worries, concerns and portents of looming catastrophe. Last week my nervous-nellyism focused on whether or not Jalen Hurts was going to run the ball too much.  He didn't.  Instead Hurts lit up the Commanders secondary by throwing 35 times for 340 yards. This week I'll be lighting the Santo Toribio Romo candle in order to help the Eagles score in the 4th quarter.  This is the definition of a imaginary problem.  The Eagles 4th quarter scoring "problems" are no doubt related to the fact that they haven't needed to score any points in the 4th quarter. They might not need any 4th quarter points this week, so I'll be either carrying over this concern to next week or I'll have moved on to worrying about that fact that being the last remaining undefeated team is somehow problematic.

Comment Rescue – Why you should care about Delaware Democrats throwing retirees under the bus

Why should you care about this issue? RISE Delaware’s email address for more information: risedelaware@gmail.com Visit our gofundme page for more information about our lawsuit: https://gofundme.com/f/risedelaware 1. See Senator Karen Peterson’s comments in this morning’s article in delawareonline. She is dead on about people trading benefits for pay. This is a social contract that is now broken and retirees are being blamed by Carney and his ilk when this problem was first raised in 2005. It’s taken 17 years to get a grip on this problem? By the way, Carney was Lt. Gov. in 2005. 2. How will this affect you? One example–We are already seeing the result of low pay with the large number of teacher vacancies in Delaware. People have no incentive to teach our children when they can drive to other states for higher pay. 3. To DSEA—Thanks for throwing your retirees under the bus! These people taught my daughter and many other Delaware children, and I am appalled at your lack of concern for the welfare of Your retirees. You are dreaming if you think that you will get larger salaries for current teachers in return that will compensate for this betrayal of your retirees. 4. The GA has done nothing. Other than a few brave souls such as Kowalko, Lynne, Wilson Anton, and Ennis, it has been crickets. These folks will be on this plan after they retire so although they were duped by the Carney crew into voting for this, they refuse to do anything about it. They do not deserve your vote in November.
