Drinking Liberally pays dividends!
UPDATE: I almost forgot to mention perhaps the biggest compliment ever applied to this blog. From Robert Vanella: “I have to tell you guys, the only places websites I visit are www.andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com, www.nytimes.com and The Richard Dawkins Foundation – www.richarddawkins.net and you guys” Pretty good fucking company I must say. And I know a hell of a lot […]

Wonky Wednesday: Homework and Drinking Liberally
Blogging TommyWonk style is all about doing your homework and having fun while you’re at it. So tonight, I’m starting into the report of the Sustainable Energy Utility (SEU) Task Force (featured in today’s News Journal).

Thank You, Jason.
Jason, you are a true friend. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without you and without Delaware Liberal. You took me in as a stray immediately after Val Longhurst put an abrupt end to my 20-plus years as a legislative staffer. I can’t tell you how depressed I was at the time. […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: June 19, 2019
Sometimes it’s the little details that nag at me. Can someone explain why HB 73, which is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to legalize ‘no-excuses absentee voting’, has been bypassed on the Senate Agenda for three consecutive sessions? It remains on today’s Senate Agenda, but at the very bottom of it. I know, […]
DL Endorsements for the General Assembly
We have a few primaries in races for the General Assembly that we, as liberals and progressives, would like to weigh in on. We have an open seat in the 9th Senatorial District, a challenger to Speaker Schwartzkopf in the 14th Representative District, and a rematch between current Representative Sean Matthews and former Representative Dennis Williams in the 10th Representative District.
DL GOP Fantasy Pool Update – Cruzin’
It’s all over… IT’S ALL OVER!!! Do you believe in miracles?!?!?
Ted “The Lunatic Cringe” Cruz ™ has outplayed, outwitted and outlasted all the other candidates (who were drafted in this fantasy pool). Marco Rubio dropped on March 16th, but I couldn’t bring myself to sweep the floor one last time, turn off all the neon, and shut the old game down. I wanted to live in the craziness for a few more days…. *sigh* And also, as the days wore on, the math started to get a little wonky. The table below probably could not withstand heavy accounting scrutiny, but what is lacks in scientific accuracy, it makes up for in heart.
And isn’t that really the most import thing? Heart …and the fact I won my own contest. Those are the two most important things. So under the rules of this contest, I owe everyone reading this sentence a beer.* And I look forward to raising that glass with you sometime, as the gentle Christina River flows on into tomorrow.
Delaware Political Weekly: March 4-10, 2016
Mayor Dennis Williams Just Won’t, Or Can’t, Grow Up.
You’re probably aware that there is a Wilmington mayoral debate on March 15. You may be aware that there are six filed candidates for Mayor. You may also be aware that none of those filed candidates are named Dennis Williams. OK, when the forum was scheduled, quite some time ago, one of the requirements for participating in the forum was that you must be filed as a candidate. Didn’t seem unreasonable, still doesn’t seem unreasonable. But, from a highly-placed source (wink wink) this caused Wilmington’s Embarrassment of a Mayor to go into high dudgeon…how dare they require that someone must be filed as a candidate to participate in a candidates’ debate? Junior high school stuff. But, the organizers relented. So, if Mayor Williams, for one of the very few times since he’s been mayor, deigns to grace the crowd with his presence, he’ll be welcome. Of course, if he had just filed, like a reasonable person, none of this faux-drama would have been necessary. But he just can’t help himself.
