Filed in Delaware by on September 23, 2009 13 Comments

A column featuring two huge ‘rumors’ with not one whit (although written by one nitwit) of substantiation.  1. Carper may not be running. Why? But at least two people have reported they’ve witnessed Carper trying to cover up a tremor in his shoulder. Note to Wrong Williams: My fingers sometimes feel like ginger ale when […]

Filed in Delaware, National by on September 18, 2009 75 Comments

I am a little disturbed by the latest round of ACORN bashing in Washington this week.  After a pair of conservative actors staged their own sting operation to see if ACORN employees would help them operate an illegal business, there have been a slew of actions taken.  ACORN has lost business that they had with […]
