This made the first page of Reddit:

The Progressive Democrats for Delaware (“PDD”) is a grassroots organization that was founded in 2004 by local progressive and liberal Democrats and like minded unaffiliated voters, seeking both the advancement and preservation of progressive policies in Delaware and across the nation. We seek to strengthen the Democratic Party so that it, and we, fight for the most basic progressive principles, such as equal rights for all in all things, single payer universal healthcare, opposing austerity (for the poor and middle class should not have to pay for the mistakes of the rich and powerful), worker’s rights (including the right to unionize and participate in collective bargaining with their employers, whether they be public or private), fair and progressive taxation (including making sure wealthy citizens and corporations start paying their fair share in taxes), open government and the preservation and strengthening of the social safety net (most importantly Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid). Check inside for their endorsements.

DRAFT2: Business History of RNC’s “We Built This!” night speaker Demolishes “We Built This!” night premise

Filed in Delaware, National by jason330 on August 26, 2012 • 33 Comments

I still need to find that link for the FSM stats, and I’m open to suggestions for titling this for max impact. It is easy to see why Delawarean Sher Valenzeula was asked to speak on the RNC’s “We Built This” theme night in Tampa. She is a successful latina small business person who built her business all alone without any government support whatsoever. Her story is a real rebuke to President Obama’s take on capitalism.

Rethugs Want Melloy Off Ballot

Filed in Delaware by El Somnambulo on August 23, 2012

Apparently, [Republican Mayoral candidate] Kevin Melloy’s check for the filing fee bounced, and Rethugs would rather have nobody carrying the R banner in the City than, you know, pay the fee themselves:

You know by now that Parenting Magazine put out a piece yesterday that states that Wilmington is the most violent city in America, ahead of places like St. Louis, Baltimore and New Orleans:

Shar Valenzuela to headline “WE BUILT THIS!” night at RNC with… “I built it with government money!”

Filed in Delaware, National by jason330 on August 23, 2012 • 7 Comments

It is easy to see why Shar has been asked to HEADLINE “We Built This” night in Tampa. She is a woman, latino, and a successful small business person who built her business all alone without any government support whatsoever. A THREE-fer!!! (If only she was wheelchair bound, and/or jewish!!)
