Playing the Ponies
When I was a kid, my best friends Dad liked to go to the racetrack to bet. Sometimes he would take us to watch and place some surreptitious bets. Mostly, we just picked our horse and bet quarters with each other. There were a number of people there that you would expect, cigar chomping men […]
Book Club Date Check
I have done a little research for our upcoming book club meeting. I think we are going to hold it at The Lobby House in Dover. The only question is the date and time. I was thinking about next Thursday at 6:30. Can I get some feedback in the comments to let me know if […]
Carney v. Loudell?
A little birdie shot me a note about a post that Allan Loudell has up on his blog. He is basically begging for an interview with Carney about the eminent domain bill. Could it be that I can get 15 minutes with Carney about the bill during a recess on the last day of the […]
Next SEU Meeting Scheduled
The SEU has put out a public notice for comments on an RFP to hire a contract administrator for the SEU. The draft RFP is available here. A meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 3 at 10AM in Dover. Interestingly, the notice just came to my inbox at 2:30PM today. I am not sure that […]
Carney on Eminent Domain
Last night I was at Legislative Hall to see the circus that is the last day of the session. I had an issue at work, so I got down there a little late and ended up just missing the eminent domain vote in the Senate. I got the lowdown from Sagacious Steve in the liveblogging […]
Little Help for a Newbie…
Tonight is the end of the legislative session in Dover. I plan on going down to check out the procedings tonight, but I have never set foot inside of Leg Hall. Does anyone have any advice/warning/tips about my trip? I plan to get there around 7PM and stick around for a few hours. Who else […]
Delaware Bloggers Conference Committee Forming
Last year Jason and Dave Burris came up with an idea to have an annual bloggers convention/conference. The idea seemed to be received with a great deal of interest, but died on the vine. Several of us here at DL have decided to pursue the idea with more committment. Jason, Pandora and I have promised […]
My Trip To The Christiana Mall
A week ago, my fellow blogger Dominique dared me to go to the mall on a Friday night. Today, I took her up on it, sort of. I arrived at about 5:15 and walked around for close to an hour. There were a number of people that I would be scared to run into in […]
Pop Quiz: Who Said This?
I love Markell, but if Carney gets this deal done, I may have to vote for him.
Windpower Deal: Greased Lightning!
Wow. Just Wow. The windpower bill passed both houses of the legislature this evening. Tommywind has the story. To give you a feeling for this bills speed, I called Bluewater yesterday afternoon to get the bill number from them so that I could post a “Call your Senator and Rep” post with the actual bill […]
Why Run Against Democrats…
When you can run with them? Senator Gordon Smith, a Republican from Oregon, is featuring his work with Barack Obama as a reason to vote for him. Check it out: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGDJijGCeO4[/youtube] h/t TPM
Holy Frijoles
The Center for Responsive Politics reports that Presidential campaigns have had $1,000,000,000 given to them this cycle. For those that are bad at counting (McCain supporters and such), that is a BILLION dollars. The report say that this is more money than the GDP of 23 countries. I am amazed and a little bit annoyed. […]
