What Have We Become?

Filed in National by on May 27, 2010 13 Comments

Is this what we have become? The video at the link is very disturbing. It shows abject violence to dairy cows and calves. It made me sick to my stomach. In this day and age, I cannot fathom that there are people who could do this to a helpless animal. But yet, I know it […]

Shaking Things Up in Sussex

Filed in Delaware by on May 6, 2010 3 Comments

We mentioned last week that Eric “St. Bodie Girl” Bodenweiser filed to run against Sen. Joe Booth in the Confederate Party primary for the 19th Senate district seat. Bodie has told anyone who will listen to him (and that seems to be the Klan and the Delaware 9/12 “patriots”), that he plans to spend $100,000 […]

Angel Clark over at delawarepolitics.net posted an interview she did with Matthew Walsh, who is running for Mayor of Georgetown.

Another Loss for the Civil Rights Community

Filed in National by on April 20, 2010 1 Comment

Another leader in the fight for equality, Dr. Dorothy Height, died this morning. Dr. Height was a towering figure in the fight for civil rights. She not only led the fight for justice in the Black community, but she was also a strong supporter of equality for the gay and lesbian community. I had the […]

Filed in National by on April 15, 2010 4 Comments

Lost amid all of the hub-bub of the tea dances that were going on today:  Benjamin Hooks, the long-time head of the NAACP, died today.

Eric Bodenweiser, one of the founders of the now-defunct Sussex County Community Organized Regiment (SKKKOR) is on a mission to save the 14th RD, and by doing that, saving Sussex County.  He has House Majority Leader Pete Schwartzkopf (D-Rehoboth Beach) in his figurative gun sight (knowing how off-balanced Bodie is, it might be literally, too).  […]

This has Gotten Out-of-Hand

It’s bad enough that we had to endure a Summer and Fall of “Crazy Eileens” disrupting meetings with their anti-health care reform rhetoric and their crazy birther BS, on Congressmen calling the POTUS a liar while on the floor of the House, of self-styled commentators on FAUX news calling  progressives a cancer on socitey, but now […]
