El Somnambulo Seeks Your Help…
…in assembling the Third Annual MVP List. This list honors those Delawareans who were (M)ost (V)aluable to the (P)rogressive cause in Delaware in 2011. In the past, I have generally limited this list to public officials. However, I am open to suggestions from outside the realm of elective public service.
Penn State and UD Have Something in Common-And It’s Not Good
Penn State is not officially a state institution per se, but a “state-related institution. As such, it now belongs to the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, and is not part of the fully public Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.”
Among other things, this means that, in addition to the university collecting millions upon millions of dollars from the State of Pennsylvania, the Board of Trustees is not obligated, nor do they, make any proceedings/minutes of Board meetings public. That includes to state officials. I wonder if the Board is going to battle FOIA demands from the Feds once that investigation is under way. It wouldn’t surprise me if it does.

Monsignor (and Representative) Greg Lavelle, tireless defender of pedophile priests and the dioceses that protect them, has worked his law ‘n order Jones into a Santorum-like creamy froth over the greatest danger to America today.

John Carney Capitulates On His Democratic Principles, If He Ever Had Any
John Carney, ladies and gentlemen, YOUR Democratic Congressman. You know what John Carney did yesterday? He literally signed away the principles upon which the Democratic Party has been built. Principles that have served working families, the poor, the elderly, and the middle class for over 80 years.
How did he do this? He signed a letter along with 60 Democrats and 40 Republicans to the so-called bipartisan ‘Super Committee’.
Why Beau Biden Had to File Suit Against MERS and the Crooks Behind MERS…
…Because the Feds and state attorneys-general drafting this deal have come up with terms so pitifully weak that these negotiators make Nevil Chamberlain look like Scott Boras by comparison. That’s why.

A Legislative Reform Package for 2012
I have written a lot about the questionable and, let’s face it, downright unethical and, in some cases, corrupt practices that enable legislators to place their personal and financial fortunes ahead of the public interest. It is hard to deny that the Delaware General Assembly is overrun by institutional corruption. Let me make clear what […]
