Mark Your Calendars
Here is a listing of political events for the next three weeks, courtesy of the Delaware Democratic Party. If you have a political event, meeting or rally you want publicized, post it in the comments below and I will put it on the calendar.
Call Governor Markell. Have His Back.
Evidently Gov. Markell is receiving lots of criticism from blood thirsty conservatives on his brave decision to grant clemency to Robert Gattis.
If you supported and approved his decision, and if you would have criticized him if he did not grant clemency, then you owe it to yourself, to us, and to Governor Markell to take at most five minutes and email him your thanks and support. His email address and phone numbers are inside.

U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Indian River Prayer Case
I just do not understand the need to turn every public gathering, whether it be a graduation cermonies, school board meetings, and other assemblies into religious events. It is as if someone wants to repeal the First Amendment and establish a National Religion, and then have the Government force the population to worship God according to the dictates of the National Religion.
BREAKING: Governor Markell Commutes Sentence
Governor Markell, for the first time in Delaware history, has commuted the death sentence of Robert Gattis to life in prison without parole. The Governor is to be commended for this brave decision.

To Governor Markell…
In an unprecedented 4-1 decision announced Sunday, the Delaware Board of Pardons is recommending that the death sentence for convicted killer Robert A. Gattis be commuted to life in prison.
It will now be up to Gov. Jack Markell to decide if he will accept the board’s recommendation to spare Gattis’ life or if he will allow the execution of the 49-year-old by lethal injection to go forward as planned early Friday.
A life is literally in Governor Markell’s hands. He might not want this responsibility. But he asked for it, and now he has to decide. I now address the Governor directly….
Fighting Abnormal (And Fake) Body Images As The Mother Of A 14 Year Old Girl
My 14 year old daughter wears a size 0 and still thinks she’s not skinny enough. It’s enough to make me want to pull my hair out. I want to scream when her friends come over and the discussion spirals into what’s wrong with my body. Granted, their focus is on their bodies only, and they’re quick to come to each others’ defense. Also, they don’t attack someone for their weight or their looks, which, I guess, is a step in the right direction.
But… they are ridiculously hard on themselves.

This is the Hockession Community Center now, on Mill Creek Road. However, can anyone tell me what this building once was, and its significance?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
Post hoc ergo propter hoc, Latin for “after this, therefore because of this,” is a logical fallacy that states, “Since that event followed this one, that event must have been caused by this one.” I was reminded of this scene and this principle when reading of a tragedy in the News Journal this morning.
