Catholic Diocese of Wilmington Files for Bankruptcy
So says the Del Editor Twitter feed. No link to the story yet. First, I am not sure how the finances in the Catholic Church and their respective dioceses work. Is each diocese responsible for their revenue and expenditures without any assistance from any other diocese or Rome? If that is the case, then it […]

High Broderism Comes to Delaware Shilling for Mike Castle
The so-called Dean of the Washington Press Corps turns his attentions to Delaware this AM, with a column that discusses his thoughts about the possible upcoming race between Mike Castle and Beau Biden for Senate. It is a rare thing for the Villagers to turn their attentions to us, and I suppose we should expect more of this in the coming months.
Biden In For Bumpy Ride?

Via Raw Story: A Baptist Church near Asheville, N.C., is hosting a “Halloween book burning” to purge the area of “Satan’s” works, which include all non-King James versions of the Bible, popular books by many religious authors and even country music. The local news video is priceless. Now, granted, this church, only has 14 members, […]
Sunday Open Thread
You guys sure are chatty this weekend. Here’s a fresh thread for you. Is the Delaware Democratic party’s website fubar-ed for you as well? An excellent diary on anti-vaccine hysteria from Daily Kos. Some on-line activist started a website called Republicans For Rape after 30 Republican senators (all men) voted against the Franken amendment. The […]
Bono Writes A Love Letter To America
International philanthropist Bono wrote an op-ed for today’s New York Times on why Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize and what it means to the rest of the world: Well, I happen to be European, and I can project with the best of them. So here’s why I think the virtual Obama is the real […]
Breaking: Delaware Legislative Travel
Update: The News Journal published Ginger Gibson’s article today, “Legislator’ travel tabs often missing”. State lawmakers can travel when and where they want on the taxpayer’s tab. snip Getting into a jet at taxpayers’ expense isn’t difficult in either chamber. In fact, no one interviewed for this article could recall a time when a travel […]
