Video from the Save the Working Class Rally Last Week
For those of us who coulodn’t be at the rally, there is video of portions of it up on You Tube. There was not a microphone, so according to Jim Westhoff, “we had to stand on the park bench and do it old school. It felt very Huey Long-ish.”
Good Old Time in Sussex County
Last night was the annual Sussex County Democrats Spring Dinner, held once again at the CHEER Center in Georgetown. A sell-out crowd of 200 people (and this is an off year) gathered for some good food (catered by Georgia House) and live and silent auctions. The main speaker was Lt. Governor Matt Denn, who really […]
Time To Make The Districts-Part Trois
In which we create a new Senate district downstate. But…will the ‘new’ district be truly new? I propagandize, you decide. OK, kids, for those of you who came late to class, or just didn’t bother to show up, you will want to read these two seminal treatises on redistricting here and here. Well, perhaps not […]

Update on Sussex County GOP
It seems that the Ron Sams resignation is music to the ears of the teabaggers. But these folks aren’t done. Last week, Cape School Board member and 9/12 “Patriot” Sandi Minard, published a letter calling Sams a liar concerning the need to move the February and March meetings of the Sussex GOP. Our friends at […]
Sheriff Jeff Wants to Be Supercop
Today was the day that Sussex County Sheriff Jeff “Supercop” Christopher (Teabag-Sussex) made his initial presentation to the County Council. Prior to this morning’s meeting, Supercop had never spoken to the Council, although he has accused them in emails to the 9/12 “Patriots” of blocking his agenda. I knew the day would start off well […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 15, 2011
They’re ba-a-a-ck, and so am I. The Delaware General Assembly reconvenes this afternoon in Legislative Hall, and they are primed for a run of about a month or so before the Easter break. Two topics will dominate talk in the Hall during that time–money and redistricting. I fully expect all four caucuses to discuss both […]
