52% of the undecideds in the Senate race disapprove of President Obama to 35% who like the job he’s doing. They don’t think much of the Democrats in Congress either- only 26% have a like the job [...]
Tornoe’s Toon: Delaware Cell Phone Ban
So Delaware joined seven other states in banning the use of cell phones while driving. Finally.
I read that Kent General has launched an awareness campaign to stress the dangers of texting while driving. I wonder if they’re going to educate people with those distracting billboards.

Exigent circumstances in the form of House Minority Leader Dick Cathcart’s retirement have taken precedence. And, while we’re at it, we’ll look at another intriguing ‘Appo’ (as Joanne Christian puts it) [...]

Last night the Christina School District elected their new school board president, John Young. John is a friend of DelawareLiberal and has been a tireless advocate for transparency in the Christina School District over at his aptly named, Transparent Christina.

From The Department Of You Can’t Make This Up
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Terry Savage is really proud to be an douchebag. Read this charming story of encountering girls with a lemonade stand who weren’t actually selling lemonade but instead giving it away.
His fiancee smiled and commented, “Isn’t that cute. They have the spirit of giving.”
That really set me off, as my regular readers [...]

The Rude Pundit Understands THE REVEAL
The Rude Pundit’s said it before and he’ll keep saying it: Obama plays rope-a-dope with his opponents. He did it with Hillary. He did it with McCain.
