Looking Back at Kavips
I love reading Kavips. I am honored every time I am mentioned by him. So when DD suggested that you would have to have been a true believer, I remembered a post that Kavips had done last year, making predictions about how the blogosphere in Delaware would line up for the election. It’s a lot [...]

Around the Horn Friday — DE Libertarian Style
Steve Newton has ably surveyed the DE Blogosphere this week to show that at least we’ve been darned busy.
I especially like his continuation of Brian’s feature of adding a couple of blogs outside of this circle that we might have never seen. Very nice job, indeed, Steve. All the rest of you head [...]

Around The Horn Friday: Last of the Red-Hot Posters
I’d like to start this post with an announcement, of sorts. This will be the last Around the Horn Friday that will be in this exact format. I started doing ATHF over a year ago when Jason took his leave of this place for a few months. It is taxing and rewarding [...]

Around The Horn Friday: The Open Source Edition
To be real honest, Around the Horn is painful sometimes. I enjoy it because it expands my mind and view, but it really does take some time. Usually, I sit in front of the TV on a Thursday night surfing around to pick out the posts that I think are interesting, or related and preferably [...]

Around The Horn Friday: Super-Duper Friday Edition
I don’t know about you, but super duper Tuesday is one of the dumbest names of an event in the history of events. Now I really hate the MSM. With the primary looming, people are weighing in left and right. On the left, the Obama camp is so happy that Tommywonk has [...]

UPDATED: Around The Horn Friday: Copeland, Shock the World Edition
Windpower has again dominated the week in the Delaware blogosphere. [...and someone who totally kicked ass on that issue was Maria Evans at WGMD who put Charlie "who me?" Copeland in a tough spot.] The legislature is in session and that means that there is always movement, although some is hidden. The [...]

Around The Horn Friday: The OOGA, OOGA Edition
Sorry that I haven’t done an Around the Horn for a while. Last week I was too tired because of staying up late watching Iowa on Thursday night. This week has been one of the best for bloggers in a long time. I think the highlight was the amazing opening day of [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Fat Man With Presents Edition
No, I’m not talking about Santa, Dave Burris and his little elves had a big day this week bringing 5 bills to the Senate to provide a significant amount of transparency to Delaware’s government. Dana reprinted the press release with commentary. And Nancy gave it some good press.
While I’m talking about Nancy, she [...]
Around the Horn Friday: What Election? Edition
Man, I can’t believe that we are at another special election already. I am getting special election fatigue. And then we have the primaries and caucuses. Damn, I just want to get through Christmas.
Kavips hits the issue in the wonderful Around the Horn competitor, Outside the Perimeter. Speaking of Kavips, I [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Mmmmm, Uterus Edition
Please let me thank donviti for a tour de force two weeks ago. I, like most of you laughed my ass off. Good show, my friend.
Speaking of things that made me laugh, the whole Tommy Little/Frank Sims/IPOD debacle sank even deeper into the gutter last weekend with aTommy Little interview on WGMD. You gotta check [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Escheat Shuffle Edition
I have to say that I am pretty saddened by the whole Lofink story. I remember when Vince won his first election, because one of his sons was a student of mine. I hope that the whole thing works out as fairly as possible. I was pretty happy that with just a few exceptions, the [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Now With Comments Turned On!
I would like to take a second at the beginning of this post to do a little self congratulation for DelawareLiberal. This week we had our single best day in history and we also passed the 250K hits mark. Way to go Jason and DV (and a little of me , Tom and [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Back in the Saddle Edition
Well, I have been pretty busy for the past few weeks with the new job, so I apologize to our readers for my lack of posting for the past few weeks (and you’re welcome, right-wingers). I was inspired by Drinking Liberally last night and I hope to ride that inspiration to make more frequent posts. [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Leg Hall Shuffle Edition
There was quite a bit of news this week, including Jim Vaughn stepping down from the Senate, triggering potentially 2 special elections. Also Dave Burris has stepped down as Sussex County Chairman. Dave will be missed.
On Vaughn, Dana and Stephen fire a parting shot at the Dixiecrat on the way out the door. I find [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Don’t Make Me Tase You Edition
This has been a fun week in blogging. I give big kudos to Jason for Patriot Day. Also, International Talk Like a Pirate Day was on Wednesday. Add in a healthy serving of Protack/Levin and things get downright cheery.
Let’s start with Protack and the accusation by FSP that Protack may have violated campaign finance law for a [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Counterfeit Disgust Edition
Well, it has been 6 years since September 11th, 2001. Never before had I seen a united country like we were that week. And never have I seen an event perverted for political purposes on that scale either. Jason put quite a fine point on the issue this week with a post [...]

Around the Horn Friday (err…Saturday): Freddie to the Rescue Edition
Well this week we saw another Republican joker enter the fray. At least he did it on Leno, where jokes are acceptable. Turns out his given name is really Freddie. I Freddie Thompson do solemnly swear… Nice. Nancy and Dana both call him out. Frank Knotts can’t be happier.
On the local scene [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Gonzo’s Gone Edition
I was torn this week as to whether or not to title this edition to highlight Gonzo or Craig ( I was going to go with “Homo Hokey-Pokey Edition”) but Getting rid of Gonzo is so sweet that I had to go with him. Ding dong the witch is dead!
That being said, let’s start [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Watermelon of Doom Edition
As one of our commenters pointed out, this weekend is the annual Watermelon of Doom fundraiser [shitty music warning] held by Vance Phillips. At this fundraiser crabs are served, watermelon is consumed, and one lucky politician will eat the “lucky watermelon” thereby sealing his doom. Last year it was a pre-macaca George Allen. [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Outside the Perimeter Edition
The following is a guest post from a fellow blogger that wishes to remain nameless (although if you are paying attention, I bet you can figure it out). I am deeply appreciative for the break and happy with the results.
No one can take the place of Around the Horn. It is a [...]
Around the Horn Friday Delayed (Good Reason?)
Today was my last day at my old job, so I have spent the day cleaning up 8+ years of junk. The end result is that my laptop has been turned in, cutting down on my access slightly. Also, I have spent the evening preparing to talk with Hub and Dace on WILM tomorrow. I’ll [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Cranky Republicans Edition
This was a big week on the other side of the aisle. We thought the race for the Democratic Gubernatorial candidacy was going to be interesting. The Republicans are doing one better. I’ll not get too deep into it, but make yourself a nice drink and wear comfortable clothes when you go over to FSP [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Return of the Geek Edition
Big shout out to Jason for covering for me a few times in the past few weeks. I wish I could say I was on vacation, but rather I was working my ass off. I probably won’t be around this weekend either, as I am headin’ down to the Virgin Festival for some [...]
