The Delaware Blogging Community to Shrink
It looks like in the next few weeks, Delaware blogging will lose two of its longest running blogs. Mike Matthews over at Down With Absolutes has been pretty clear that he is planning to go to an all-twitter format. He has gone so far as to look for someone to take over for him. Today, […]
St. Georges Bridge Idea
I was looking at some biking information today and happened across the Delaware Bike News blog. I saw a great idea from them that I think is worthy of support. At present there are no truly safe non-motorized crossings of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, creating a huge impediment to connecting Delaware’s networks of safe […]
Alaska’s Crazy-Ass Haters Look Like Delaware’s Crazy-Ass Haters
My Home(r) Girl Shannyn Moore of the blog Just a Girl From Homer compiled pictures of the “Christians” that showed up to protest an ordinance not unlike our SB121. The pictures have been set to music and put in video form. I love that they spelled “straight” wrong on the car window. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MkQ8PJ9kyY[/youtube]
Happy Juneteenth
Juneteenth is a holiday that many people don’t know about. From Wikipedia: Though the Emancipation Proclamation had been issued on September 22, 1862, with an effective date of January 1, 1863, it had minimal immediate effect on most slaves’ day-to-day lives, particularly in Texas, which was almost entirely under Confederate control. Juneteenth commemorates June 19, […]
Pushing The Issue: HB253
John Kowalko chairs the Joint Sunset Committee and he’s trying to challenge the Delaware Way from that vantage point. Case in point: HB253 (restructuring the Victims Compensation Board). From the presser: House Bill 253 is identical to Senate Bill 144, which was developed by and sponsored by the members of the Joint Sunset Committee, a […]
Castle a Victim of the Latest Pink Postcard?
I got an interesting email yesterday from someone only identified as “Delaware Republican”. Let set aside, for now, that this is the latest handle used by Mike Protack. The content of the letter is essentially a threat that Mike Castle should retire now or face a hard slog where his age is issue #1. You […]
WTF? Obama Defends DOMA Like a Right-Wing Nutjob
David Anderson must be loving Obama today (in a totally hetero way). Obama has betrayed same sex rights with his defense of DOMA in court. Obama didn’t need to defend DOMA. He also didn’t need to invoke incest and child marriage in the argument. Read the link. There is some left-wing anger headed Obama’s way […]
Power Out in New Castle Area
There is a massive black-out in New Castle right now. The Governor is about to sign HB1 into law in Old New Castle. I think somewhere Thurman Adams is laughing his fool head off right next to an oversized knife switch.
AFSCME Urges Members to Boycott Walgreens? Maybe
A source told me that AFSCME Council 81 which represents State of Delaware employees, is urging its members to boycott Walgreens in the wake of the announcement that Walgreens is pulling out of the States Medicaid program. So I called Michael Begatto Council 81’s Executive Director and to confirm the story and get a comment. […]
Shots Fired at Holocaust Museum
There has been a shooting at the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. Early reports suggets that the shooter is a white supremacist and anti-tax activist. Four people were injured, including the shooter. From the shooters bio: In 1981 Von Brunn attempted to place the treasonous Federal Reserve Board of Governors under legal, non-violent, citizens arrest. […]
New Castle County Tax Increase: BS Patrol
I ran into one of the crochety old men that I sometimes run into at some functions. Invariably, our discussion turns to something political or social. This time we were discussing the current budget situation when he brought up that county taxes were rising 25%. I said, “really, it isn’t much money that we are […]
