‘Club For Growth’ is Needed in Delaware
The Club for Growth is an organization with an affiliated PAC that recruits more conservative candidates to run in the Republican primaries against what they perceive as “RINO” incumbents, or who are not sufficiently supportive of a socially conservative, low-tax and limited-government agenda. The Club has had success in running in open races with the candidates they endorse, but less […]
Let’s play, “Can you find the lie?”
A group of American advisers led by a small State Department team played an integral part in drawing up contracts between the Iraqi government and five major Western oil companies to develop some of the largest fields in Iraq, American officials say.

I don’t and never will buy bottled water
It’s a complete waste. If you stop to think about it buying a 20oz soda for a $1.45 is a rip off when you can buy a 2ltr for $1.50 at the grocery store. It is freaking beyond me how people are so freaking gullible as to buy tap water in a freeking bottle.

The Adventurer’s Club is hands-down the coolest and most […]

Democrats, Let’s get serious about ending abortion…
…by ending unwanted pregnancies. A recent study showed that 49% of the pregnancies concluding in 1994 were unintended; 54% of these ended in abortion. Clearly, if we want to get some traction on reducing the number of teenager pregnancies we should look toward the “pro-life” movement as partners rather than adversaries. It is a well […]

Delaware Bloggers Conference Committee Forming
Last year Jason and Dave Burris came up with an idea to have an annual bloggers convention/conference. The idea seemed to be received with a great deal of interest, but died on the vine. Several of us here at DL have decided to pursue the idea with more committment. Jason, Pandora and I have promised […]
