Wesley College Sidles Up To The Public Trough–Again. This time, they want $3.2 mill. How long will the state prop up this failing institution? Wesley was never an academic powerhouse, and it has always been a private, religiously-affiliated institution. I guess they’ll keep getting bailouts until a bigger fish swallows them. Like the casinos. Your […]

Seeking Nominations For Delaware’s MVP Of The Year For 2019
I’m strongly inclined towards anointing one person the MVP (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause) this year, although I’m open to persuasion. Who else belongs on the list? Remember the criteria.
