Big Idea Wednesday: Monster Mile Per Gallon

Filed in Delaware by on August 8, 2012 23 Comments

Twice a year, Dover Downs is the home of NASCAR races. As a guy that owns two hybrids and tries to be a good environmental citizen, I am appalled by the senseless waste of tires, oil, gas that goes on through the various qualifiers and races that go on throughout the weekend. But I get […]

Filed in Delaware by on June 29, 2012 9 Comments

One of our readers, Brooke Bovard, has written this guest post. Delaware, as a ‘blue’ state, and without much to steal, is new to the game of being targeted by the Right. Sure, they tried to foist Christine O’Donnell on us, but they can’t be trying too hard, right? Sadly, wrong. A case in point […]

Sheriff Christopher v. Sussex County

Filed in Delaware by on May 10, 2012 113 Comments

A little birdie sent in this court filing last night.  In it, Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Christopher is filing suit against Sussex County.  It is full of craziness, including the Magna Carta, English Common Law and Posse Comitatus. Today, Sussex County responded in a press release. My favorite part of the press release is the […]

A North Carolina pastor has a pretty straight-forward way to make sure your kids don’t turn gay. Beat the shit out of them.

Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok?

Not yet a month old, and already the Occupy movement in Delaware is in mortal danger. I don’t know if it is indicative of how the movement is progressing in other cities and states, but I hope not. Allow me to explain…

Science is Cool or Remember When the US Did Cool Stuff?

This video was pointed out to me by @thinkgeek on Twitter. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws6AAhTw7RA[/youtube] I can’t help thinking a few things… Why is it that this was developed in Israel and not the US? Is research like this even possible without government help? Can I have one? How quickly would Bobby Jindal refuse funding for a train […]
