Delaware Liberal

Here is the calendar of events for the rest of the this week and next. I would like to especially highlight tonight's Progressive Democrats for Delaware's meeting and this weekend's commencement of Occupy Delaware. I have also highlighted Mitch Crane's fundraiser, as I think it is important that we support him early and often. But it is also important for progressives to go to RD meetings. That is where you, as a Progressive, can be most effective in both shaping your state party and your state government.

Secretary Clinton's mother, Dorothy Rodham, has died at the age of 92. Condoescences to the Clinton family. It would seem that all of us are busy at work today, so I apologize for the lack of posts this morning.

In case you were unaware of the earth stopping news that an attention starved pseudo-celebrity with no discernable skills or societal worth named Kim Kardashian was getting a divorce 72 days after she married to more fanfare than the Royal Wedding, well than, now you know. Since this topic is trending planet-wide on Twitter... Name things that are longer than a Kim Kardashian marriage.

Happy Halloween! And what would Halloween be in Delaware without a tribute to our favorite witch, Christine O'Donnell.

Dogfish Head is releasing a new beer with "deep Delaware roots." This is so important that Governor Markell will be on hand at the announcement. So our dear readers, what will a Delaware centric beer taste like?

Rick Perry gives a weird speech, and Cain has a Clarence Thomas problem.

Talk about a no-good very bad horrible past few days for Sussex County Councilman Vance Phillips. According to WGMD, Phillips was flying his motorized ultralight airplane when it crashed yesterday. He is at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville this morning being treated for a broken back. Politics aside, we hope his injuries are not too serious and that he recovers fully.
