If “Tiresome and Ponderous Journalistic Meandering” was an Olympic sport, Cohen would be the Bruce Jenner of it. That’s a compliment. I didn’t say that she’d be the John du Pont of it, did I? Anyhoo.. For all the tiresome ponderousness, she gets to talk to people who will not talk to me and sometimes reports something worthwhile. Click through for her latest gem.

While the media has concentrated on Attorney General Biden's request that BCBSD reserves be used to help provide medical insurance coverage for uninsured Delawareans, attention should be focused on the Attorney General's continued opposition to the proposed merger with Highmark.

Statement from U.S. Rep. Carney marking the 10th anniversary of U.S. operations in Afghanistan When something like this ends up in your in-box on the heels of the fraudulent payroll tax pep-rally/"town hall" conference call, how can anyone not be filled with dread? Well, let's read on shall we..?

So a community of supposed Americans are upset that the Vice President of the United States has stated that he will prevent the early and unwarranted release of a convicted spy for a foreign government who breached America's national security some 25 years ago and endangered all Americans everywhere. In other times and circumstances, those supposed upset Americans might have been labeled traitors. At the very least sympathizers. For a fact, the spy, if he or she is an American citizen, is a traitor to America and deserves at the very least life in prison. But we live in a time where allegiance to Israel is more important than allegiance to America.

Kenton's Treasurer pretended to be the town manager and then sold the rights to a cell phone tower on town property. She pocketed the $50 grand from the sale and lived large until disgraced state auditor, Tom Wagner, was tipped off that a spending spree was in progress. As you'd expect from a Kenton Delaware Treasurer, she used the money to buy some real treasures which are now being auctioned off.

This hasn't happened yet, but I already know what I'm going to write.

Ezra Klein: "Right now, the protests are at a tipping point. The unions and MoveOn.org are mounting a sympathy march this afternoon. Van Jones’s Rebuild the Dream and Russ Feingold’s Progressives United are blasting messages of support. Prominent elected Democrats such as Rep. John Larson, Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus; Rep. Louise Slaughter, ranking member on the House Rules Committee; and Sen. Jeff Merkley have all applauded the movement. What these Democrats and liberal-activist groups are looking for is something similar to what conservatives found in the tea party: an opportunity to recharge and rebrand."

So we all know that Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts posed nude in Cosmo in his youth. Last week, during a Democratic primary debate this week, Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren was asked how she paid for college. “I kept my clothes on,” Warren replied. “I borrowed money.” This morning, on a right wing radio show, Scott Brown was asked to respond to that, and he laughed and said “Thank God.”

Oh the little things you learn every day. In stating that he wants state funds invested in Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Delaware to stay in Delaware when or if Blue Cross merges with the Pittsburgh-based Highmark, Attorney General Beau Biden mentioned that Delaware has exempted Blue Cross/Blue Shield from paying income taxes for 75 years because of its work. I think that should end, don't you?

I'm rocking out on my iphone. (naturally) Going forward I'll be working hard to put the customer's experience first in everything we do.
