Looking Back at Kavips
I love reading Kavips. I am honored every time I am mentioned by him. So when DD suggested that you would have to have been a true believer, I remembered a post that Kavips had done last year, making predictions about how the blogosphere in Delaware would line up for the election. It’s a lot […]
Markell Stands and Delivers

I got a chance to stop by the Jack Markell town hall meeting this evening. I did’t get to spend much time there, but heard Liz Allen and Carol Overland speak. It was a pretty frank discussion on the state of the State and what options we have fiscally. It is going to be somewhat […]
Wow! The Food Bank Slots are Filled!
I have just accepted the last application for helping out at the Food Bank on the morning of January 24th. You may still volunteer, but I will have to put you on a waiting list. The Food Bank can only accomodate 30 of us at a time. I promise you this, though, we will be […]
Progress on Helping the Homeless
I have made some progress on helping the man that I wrote about on Sunday. We believe that we have a place for him to live, although there are a few more small hoops to jump through. My friend has identified a vacant rental that can be availed to this man for a few weeks. […]
He Barely Exists
This morning I went on a mission. I got a call from a friend on Saturday that there was a report of a homeless family living in a small wooded area nearby. He told me that he was going out there today to investigate and see what could be done. He joked that he would […]
Wanna Live Longer? Vote Democrat!
Randy Nelson at DTR has posted a study that shows that people that live in Democratic states (as determined by the party of the Governor) are healthier. 8 or the 10 healthiest states are Dem, while 8 of 10 least healthy are Republican. How’s that trickle down helping your health?
Two Birds, One Stone
I have been thinking about how to bail out the big 3 without giving them the cash outright. My goal is to make sure that the money doesn’t just get spent for executive compensation, dividends or private planes. I want the companies to remain competitive with foreign automakers and I want them to thrive. Here […]
Gannett Rumored to be Pulling the Trigger
Per a comment from one of our readers, it looks like Gannett has started calling their staff to inform them of layoffs. Perusing the Gannett Blog, it appears that manager are being called today (many being laid off) and tomorrow, they are coming in to lay off their staff. It will be interesting to see […]
Thanksgiving Challenge
OK, I know that we all know George W Bush to be the worst President in history. However, one of my favorite sayings is “Even a blind chicken finds corn sometimes.” What, about George Bush, are you thankful for this year? Personally, I am thankful that he got the Do Not Call list going. Now […]
Ahhh Black Friday
Do you remember when we all had money and could buy like this? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEokUVnVWe4[/youtube] Personally, I am going to spend my Black Friday morning on Maria Evans show at Delaware Talk Radio. And perhaps a little more. Granted, my wife will be shopping with the kids at the outlets while I am getting my talk […]
Speedbump For Hillary as Sec. of State
One of my friends mentioned to me that there is a little bit of a Constitutional controversy swirling around Hillary. There is a pesky little part of the Constitution that basically says that because Hillary has not completed her Senate term and the salary of Secretary of State was raised during her current term, she […]
Familiar Name on Tax Scofflaw List
A reader tipped us off to the fact that the Delaware Division of Revenue has released their annual list of top tax delinquents. On the list is an interesting name, James D Guckert. Mr. Guckert is also known as Jeff Gannon. Gannon/Guckert became famous when he posed as a real reporter and made his way […]
