Circling the Drain
More stories in the ongoing slow-motion implosion of the Grand Old Party. From Florida: Florida GOPers look to Specter for inspiration conservative Republicans in Florida are speaking out against Crist and hoping his apostasy on the federal stimulus will open the door for a conservative to take him down. … There isn’t yet a chorus […]
Maine Legalizes Same Sex Marriage
The legislature of Maine approved a bill legalizing same sex marriage. Not just civil unions, but full marriage recognition. The governor signed it today, and this is significant because the governor was a supporter of civil unions only. There was some question whether he would sign.

The main objection is to describing things that are undesirable in feminine terms, most especially terms for the female anatomy. Listen, I know it’s a hard habit to break because it is so pervasive (that’s the problem!) so […]
Hey Everyone, Look At Me!
As my inaugural post, I’d thought I’d post an interview with Delaware Liberal‘s newest contributor. Why you? What are your qualifications? Well, I think Delaware Liberal wants to bring a diversity of voices and opinions. I’m probably different than the regular contributors: I’m not a Delaware native or even a long-time Delaware resident. I’m still […]
