Why Delaware Needs Health Reform
Health Care facts and figures, from HealthReform.gov (thanks, HHS Secretary Sebelius!) DELAWAREANS CAN’T AFFORD THE STATUS QUO Roughly 575,000 people in Delaware get health insurance on the job, where family premiums average $14,579, about the annual earning of a full-time minimum wage job. Since 2000 alone, average family premiums have increased by 108 percent in […]
GUEST POST: “Because the Sun Shines on us all”
We now have a Charity for 8/15 @ Twin Lakes A new feature you will start seeing on DL is Guest Posters. And what better way to kick off this new feature than with the only lady that can pull of Pearls and an Evening gown while working at the Food Bank; Joanne Christian. Several […]
Conservatism Kills
The meme that compares the present day United States to the days of the Fall of Rome has been active in our society for decades. It’s a meme that you are all familiar with, and one that many of our radical right friends embrace. In their own minds, Delaware Liberal’s Christian theocratic commenters are doing […]
The Delaware Blogging Community to Shrink
It looks like in the next few weeks, Delaware blogging will lose two of its longest running blogs. Mike Matthews over at Down With Absolutes has been pretty clear that he is planning to go to an all-twitter format. He has gone so far as to look for someone to take over for him. Today, […]

Yesterday, the Rethugs, led by Minority Leader and Delaware State University bagman Dick Cathcart, defeated, on straight party line votes, three bills […]

That Didn’t Take Long
To play the tired PC card. Which, we are already clear, is basically the default position of retreat for those who can’t find rational or civilized arguments for their daily fear and loathing and paranoia. There is simply no attempt to delegitimize political speech from this site. We absolutely welcome it. We do work pretty […]
Hungry?
The Official Potted Meat Product of Delaware Liberal (c) is Rose Brand Pork Brains with Milk Gravy. If the thought of eating that does not make you a vegetarian, nothing will.
Around the Horn Friday
This will be the first time, and perhaps last time, that I link to the Delaware Grapevine in this thread. But Celia does have a nice write up about the 6th Annual Summer Bash. [T]he Sixth Annual Summer Bash last Saturday in Milton was turned into a charity event for the Food Bank of Delaware. […]
