Comment Rescue: Will The Real Jack Markell Please Stand Up?
Alan Muller has a point…. OK. I haven’t heard a peep, really, about how Markell’s administration is looking more and more like a fat-cat Republican event. Not a word about social justice, the environment … just the kissing of corporate ass with some token gestures like the “Weekend of Service” instead of the “Inaug Ball.” […]

Comment Rescue: Guy Nobody Knows Says Stupid Shit on News Nobody Watches
(video courtesy of Mike “M-Dawg” Matthews) Oh my… Would it be possible for Chip Flowers to be a worse spokesperson for Democrats on WHYY’s Delaware Tonight? Nobody talks to him, so he has no idea. And he compared Jack Markell’s Blueprint for a Better Delaware with Hitler’s Mein Kampf tonight. Dear WHYY Guys, You are […]
DEwind: The Week That Changed History
There is no reason for me to do an election recap, because it has already been done along with the best headline of the week, More Analysis on Pamela Thonrburg’s “Snatch”. Damn you kavips, damn you! While I’m reading kavips, one would have to be blind regarding the Paradee-Thornburg “re-count” fiasco, However I’m with Al Mascitti on […]
Tip Line
This came in through the tip line. Who knows how valid it is… Jack has selected a chief of staff. Two excellent sources confirm that it’s Dennis Rochford, republican. The talk was out yesterday at Return Day Dennis Rochford is a pompous ass. If true, maybe Jack is working a good cop/bad cop thing?
Our Next Senator: The Timing.
I keep hearing it bandied about that Jack Markell could be the one to appoint the next Senator. This must be wishful thinking, because I can forsee no possible that he makes the appointment. It all has to do with timing. Joe Biden’s term as Vice President of the United States begins on January 20, […]
The Biden Rally at UD
This morning I took a look at my schedule and checked for any issues in my work inbox. There wasn’t anything burning, so I took some time out of the office to check out the Biden rally on the University of Delaware mall. I have been wondering what the heck they were doing having a […]
Delaware Liberal General Election Endorsements
We’ll just skip US Senate because it will come as no surprise to anyone that DelawareLiberal is endorsing Joe Biden. It won’t come as any surprise that DelawareLiberal is endorsing Jack Markell and Matt Denn for Governor and Lt. Governor, respectively. Even though there isn’t much surprise and there isn’t much doubt as to outcome, […]
Comment Rescue: Bigotry In Delaware.
From a thread on the JCC Forum: Alex D’Armagny // Oct 22, 2008 at 7:55 pm Is it a coincidence that Jack picked Matt? I do not think so. I do not care what religion they are, but I can not see myself voting for a pair of those who do not represent my beliefs. […]
Reports From Pike Creek Civic League Candidates Forum
With some tipsters weighing in it seems like the candidates were all literally overshadowed by Christine O’Donnell‘s huge rear end. Attendees were flabbergasted at the size of O’Donnell’s ass. As if listening to O’Donnell’s gibberish was not difficult enough, the sight of O’Donnell’s caboose made it nearly impossible last night. Apparently the thing is not […]
Copeland ♥ Markell
Poor Bill Lee. He must feel jilted at the altar. Or thrown under the bus, and run over a few times. Either analogy will do. Copeland has said repeatedly that he is an “independent voice” willing to work with any governor — a campaign slogan he said illustrates his willingness to work across party lines and […]
