Probably everyone that comes to Delaware Liberal has read The News Journal at some point of their lives. They might not be a subscriber right now, but they are running a new sale that is quite good: $19.99 for one year.

Open Thread – NJ Editorial chides lawmakers on stupid antitax stance
The Delaware Democratic Party’s “all tax increases are evil” stance is stupid on its face. John Carney is an idiot to begin his term by removing a discussion of common sense tax reform from the mix of possibilities, instead focusing 100% of his energies on cutting services.
