Around the Horn Sunday
The News Journal says our blogosphere is small. I dunno, for our state's size, there are a lot of good writers out there with a variety of opinions, some good,…
Required By Law?
I am no third party advocate, to be sure, but there is one law, or rather, a provision in our state Constitution that I cannot stand. Even though Governor Markell…
Richard Korn to Run for State Auditor
Richard Korn has been a behind-the-scenes and in front of the curtain player in Democratic politics in Delaware for years, after moving here from Long Island. He has run for the General Assembly and for New Castle County Executive. In both Nassau County, NY and here in New Castle County, he has been successful in going to court to force both counties to better account for their cash reserves, as both counties at the time were employing questionable bookkeeping practices to produce budget surpluses. He hopes to parlay that background into a campaign for the State Auditorship.
Around The Horn Sunday
This was a slow week. With no special election relatively imminent (the next one is on September 12), and with national stories dominating our conversation this week, local stories fell…
Sunday Morning Open Thread
We haven't had one of these in a while. Damnit, we keep saying we are going to have an open thread once a day, and by God, I am going…

Their anger has a "nothing left to lose" quality to it. It is like they know we, as Americans, are at a turning point. It is a turning point I have longed for, and that they have feared, for years.
A Step Closer
While we sit back and watch our national and local conservative opposition lie with no conscience in the healthcare debate (hey, David Anderson, would Jesus lie?), the good news comes…
This is Why I Hate Her.
"[W]e must stick to a discussion of the issues and not get sidetracked by tactics that can be accused of leading to intimidation or harassment. Such tactics diminish our nation’s…
Conservative Free Speech
They have the right to say whatever they want whenever they want, and they have the duty to prevent others from exercising the same right.

Graph of the Day
This graph shows a pretty amazing correlation. By watching a conservatively biased television network, Republicans reinforce their own opinions and then become more and more outlandish in their advocacy of those opinions, which in turn makes them all the more toxic to the electorate at large, which isolates them further so they all seek comfort again by watching Fox News to once again reinforce their beliefs….
