Statement by State Treasurer Chip Flowers
All – I was informed earlier today by my staff about the significant amount of false information being spread on this blog regarding myself and my former Deputy. Since this remains the subject of an ongoing internal investigation by our office, this will be my only statement regarding this matter. First, my relationship with my […]
Ed Reform Isn’t About Education
Yes, I’ve written about this before, but in case you’ve forgotten, Ed Reformers have changed their motto from Charter Schools offer a superior education (compared to public schools) at less cost to Parent Choice! Which is really convenient since it allows them to ignore failing schools by claiming these schools are what parents want. Oh, ed reformers are quick to point out failing public schools in the name of supporting charters, but are mum on schools like Moyer Academy and Pencader.
Which brings me to an interesting article in the News Journal on Sunday…
Polling Report – Chip Flowers
When we last asked this question in March, Flowers polled at 54% approval, 37% disapproval, and 9% no opinion.
This month, he slipped a bit to 52% approval, 44% disapproval and 4% neutral/don’t know.

Tom Kovach launches a new social entrepreneurship project: Assist & Inspire Delaware
If you have a heart, it must be murder being a Republican politician. The casual meanness required to be a modern Republican has got to wear you down over time. You need to be a callous money grubbing stooge like “Doctor” John E. Stapleford, a cavalier jackass like Charles Lammot du Pont Copeland, or a hardened misanthrope like John Sigler to really make a go of it. Tom Kovach never struck me as the kind of soulless bastard that you would need to be in order to be a successful Republican.
That’s why I was gratified to see Kovach’s new venture on Facebook, Assist & Inspire Delaware (AIDE). It appears to be a very worthy venture dedicated to… well I’ll let them speak for themselves.
Coons votes for unwinable “humanitarian” war for dubious reasons
As a menber of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Chris Coons voted with a narrow majority to give President Barack Obama the authority to strike Syria. While the vote speaks for itself, the questions Coons posed to John Kerry and to General Dempsey reveal that fact that Coons believes that America is the world’s police force. Coons believes that the question facing Congress is not, should we police the world? But, since we are the world’s police, can we do that job well? This comes through very clearly in his first question to General Dempsey.
