Nominations Being Accepted: Rookie of the Year

Filed in National by on December 22, 2008 3 Comments

It takes a lot of committment to run a blog, and while some of them have gone by the wayside this year, several others have popped up.  I’ll start off the nominations with The Mourning Constitution, which Brian admits was named on the toilet.  Who else do we have that has joined the ranks and […]

Filed in Delaware by on December 22, 2008 11 Comments

You know it and so do I, blogging would be pretty damn boring, were it not for commenters.  Hardly a day goes by when I don’t laugh out loud at a comment here on DL.  So this will be an opportunity to give some credit to a commenter here in Delaware for their keen insight, […]

Filed in Delaware by on December 22, 2008 6 Comments

Last years winner for this category was “Offshore Windfarm Coitus Interruptus.”  Thankfully, Delaware fixed their mistake and at least got a deal done (although not as big a deal as I would have liked).  This year, with the Delaware Economy on the brink along with the rest of the country and Workforce Housing in New […]

This is where we start getting into the meat of the Delaware blogosphere.  Last years winner was “Anything on Tommywonk about Windpower.”  Certainly that must be considered again this year, as Tommy saw the Bluewater Wind deal come to fruition, but there are so many other worthy posts out there.  Let’s hear about them. As […]

Liberalgeek’s Plan For Fiscal Stimulation

Filed in National by on December 20, 2008 30 Comments

Dear President Obama (I’m sick of this President-elect crap), We need to spend some money.  We need that money spent in every nook and cranny of these United States.  Trying to mobilize enough projects to make a difference in the short to medium term will be very difficult from a centralized standpoint.  We need to […]

I remember that I was quite envious of a shirt that I saw on a college […]
