Parish Does the Right Thing
We’ve all smacked around Sussex County Clerk of the Peace George Parish for his vehement opposition to both civil unions and marriage equality. But yesterday he did the correct thing and presided over the county’s first same-sex civil union. The ceremony united Milton Town Councilwoman Mary Hudson and her long-time partner Lynn Ekelund. Parish is […]

Mitch Crane Speaks Out on BCBSD-Highmark
Mitch Crane, the progressive Democratic candidate for Insurance Commissioner, issued a press release yesterday regarding KWS’s turning her back once again on the people of Delaware by approving the merger of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware and Highmark. “This is a bad decision for Delaware. Once again this Insurance Commissioner has put the interests […]
Looking For The Republican Enthusiasm Gap
Then click on Delaware Politics local blog roll. I did, and here’s what I found – basically nothing. It’s almost as if the Iowa Caucuses never happened. David Anderson threw up a post sorta for Santorum and Paul later last evening. It was pretty unenthusiastic. The Daily Borg writes a philosophical post on what winning […]

Celia Cohen Hits It Out of the Park
As you know, we like to make fun of Celia Cohen because of her duPont-Castle ties, the establishment GOP conventional wisdom that permeates her posts, and because of a sometimes florid writing style that makes you want to gouge your eyes out. But today I will praise her. Her latest, Pursuit of Happiness, is a wonderful piece that everyone should read. It is an account of Delaware’s first civil union ceremony, performed yesterday at Trinity Episcopal Church, between Lisa Goodman and Drew Fennell.

Quote of the Day
“Over a decade ago, Lisa Goodman and Drew Fennell were the first two people to admonish me to marry my now-wife Michele, at a dinner party at their house. Of course, they were at the wedding. Today, I get to attend their civil union ceremony, which became legal in Delaware today under a law that they helped pass. Pretty cool.” — Lt. Governor Matt Denn.

The Top Eleven Delaware Liberal Posts of 2011 [Delaware Stories]
This was an active year politically for an off year. From more embarrassment, incompetence, and betryal from Karen Weldin Stewart, resulting in a legitimate primary challenge, to a showdown over a basketball hoop in Claymont, to the demise of Tom Capano (for which we are all grateful), to the Tigani scandal, to the constant entertainment that the teabagging whackjobs down in Sussex provide, it was a fun year, if you enjoy insanity.
The Sheriff Stands for ‘Merica
In his never ending quest to show that he has the biggest penis in Southern Delaware, Sussex County Teabag Sheriff Jeff Christopher believes he’s sovereign over everything and everyone one in the county. So much so that he sent the following email out to numerous county employees, news people, and anyone else he decided he […]
