Around the Horn Friday: Fat Man With Presents Edition
No, I’m not talking about Santa, Dave Burris and his little elves had a big day this week bringing 5 bills to the Senate to provide a significant amount of transparency to Delaware’s government. Dana reprinted the press release with commentary. And Nancy gave it some good press. While I’m talking about Nancy, she celebrated […]
Ouch! Delaware State (the University and the Rest of Us) Called Out by Cal Blogger
Some blogger at the University of California takes a few pot-shots at us and our second best University (snark). Be sure to stop by and remind him that he has an action hero for a Governor and other weirdnesses of Cali. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgBPj7cxG3U[/youtube]
Will We See a Brokered Convention (or Two)?
It has never happened in my lifetime, but we have a shot at it this cycle. It is a situation where no one candidate has enough committed delegates to win the nomination going into the convention. This is more likely this cycle due to the compression of the schedule. If we have an equitable distribution […]
I’ll take one of each
As I write this, we are at 1 year, 1 month, 1 week, 1 day, 1 hour and 1 minute from the end of the Bush administration. Amen. h/t Kavips
Sappy Post of the Month: Dan Fogelberg Dies of Cancer
I just saw that Dan Fogelberg died of prostate cancer on Sunday. I listened to “The Same Old Lang Syne” and it is so well-written, executed and shaped that I never fail to feel it somewhere deep in my gut. I think I will rotate it heavily into my Christmas music soundtrack. Goodbye to the […]
The Protack Express is a Train Wreck
Oh my. I cannot believe the kind of crap that Protack gets himself into. Now it’s the issue of the unpaid staff from his last campaign. This comes after a foiled astroturfing of the local blogosphere and the failure to pay his consultants for the last campaign. The details are really starting to crystallize over […]
Welcome to the Future
Hello and welcome to our new home. Look around and check out the digs. We have added several new features such as polling, comment repair with AJAX, a countdown time, weather and even a mobile website (try it from your phone!). There will certainly be kinks to be worked out, but hopefully they will be […]
“The Next Reagan” Fails to Make the Ballot in Delaware
Fred Thompson didn’t get the requisite 500 signatures to make it onto the ballot in Delaware for our Primary. Good Grief, he’s the national version of Protack.
Kilroy Calls It Quits
Local blogger Kilroy (aka John Allison) has decided that he can’t fight the system alone. He has decided to cease his involvement in all Red Clay affairs and resigning his post in the Republican party. I cannot figure out if that means he’s going to stop blogging. If he does, it will halve the number […]

Hello DL Readers. I just wanted to drop you a note about some upcoming changes to this site. On Friday night/Saturday Morning, this site will have a new home on the server of one of our sponsors AgoraNet. Here is a partial list of changes that you can expect: A new theme – in anticipation […]
UD Gets Good Press for Battery Technology
I saw a post on one of my geek websites this AM extolling the virtues of a project at UD to use electric cars to feed back into the grid. The official windfarm professor of DelawareLiberal, Willett Kempton is the project lead.
The War on Christmas: New Allies
I am pleased to announce that the War on Christmas has turned the corner. It turns out that we have a lot in common with Santa. He has been a constant source of irritation for those that would want less commercialism at Christmastime. We have found common ground with him and have forged a treaty […]
The Part That Really Irks Me About the Huckabee Rapist
So I don’t think we have really covered the issue here this week, but there is a Willie Horton in Mike Huckabee’s closet. The Huffington Post has had some excellent coverage, but I’ve stayed clear of it. But I’m starting to see Huckabee in the light of one of the most awful policy trends in […]
