Democrats and Republicans, Heed the Call, All Can Attend the Hypocrites’ Ball

1. Dan Cruce Wants You To Know That He Reallyreallyreally Lives In Wilmington: He just resurfaced there after having been invisible since, well, since the Special Election. He’s trumpeting his Wilmington residency in a hastily-started door-to-door. Far be it from me to raise any questions about where he lives. I’ll leave that task to Dan […]
