St. Georges Bridge Idea
I was looking at some biking information today and happened across the Delaware Bike News blog. I saw a great idea from them that I think is worthy of support. At present there are no truly safe non-motorized crossings of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, creating a huge impediment to connecting Delaware’s networks of safe […]

Open thread: Iran
I’m trying with some of my “friends” on facebook to get some commentary going on our website. I have some friends that are either there in Iran or know people that are. Hopefully I can get some people over there to comment over here. Please discuss any thing. What is going on? What we aren’t […]
Mike Castle (Hearts) Obama’s Financial Oversight Plans
I wonder if Mike Protack, The Leader of the Delaware Republican Party, was consulted before Castle put out this (for him) direct statement sucking up to Obama?

With this news that Dem. Rep. Charles Melancon is likely to challenge the DC Madam’s Man/Child of the Year, Vitter won’t merely be peeing […]

In stark contrast to Senate Democrats, who spent the week backpedaling on reform, unified House Democrats unveiled a draft health care overhaul bill jointly endorsed by three powerful […]
Call the Waaahmbulance for Glenn Beck
What a bunch of whiners. Glenn Beck and Tommywonk look-alike Griff Jenkins talk about the failed ACORN ambush. Someone needs to get Rep. Maxine Waters some better talking points, though.
GOP Social Hot Buttons Deactivated
Gays: The liberals have won the day here. Or, if you like, Father Time and common sense have worked their magic. There will be the Fred Phelps of the world pitching their little hissy fits now and then, but equal rights for gay people is now on done deal. The more Republicans push against this, […]
Important Day In Iran
Today there is a planned demonstration in Iran despite the warnings of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini. There could be great bloodshed. Our thoughts go out to the people of Iran. I hope this situation can be resolved peacefully. For live updates of what’s going on in Iran, check out Andrew Sullivan and Nico Pitney’s Huffington […]
