Around the Horn Friday: Dave Burris’ Huge Head Edition
At the end of March, I had to praise Dave Burris for his well placed call-to-arms to force Atkins resignation. I only recently started feeling clean again. But in my ATHF that week, I had to call for an end of the praise. It is that time again.
Dave (along with a good [...]
Around the Horn Friday (err…Saturday): The Leg Hall Shuffle Edition
Our beloved elected officials are putting the finishing touches on all of the laws that will screw us up for years to come. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.
Speaking of tough jobs, Kavips takes on a roundup of the bills pending for the last minute push of the legislative agenda. [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Slightly Delayed Edition
Sorry for the delayed Around the Horn, I have been a blog slacker this week. I will have this week’s edition out tomorrow.

Around the Horn Friday: Vulgarity Rules Edition
Big shout out to Jason for doing ATHF last week. I had a birthday party for my son that kept me from having access for a long period of time. The good news is that it was indoctrination quality time for us. And now on to the news…
Oh my, the Oberle story [...]
Around the Horn Part II – The lightning round
Delaware Watch has a cool youtube video regarding HB 161. The use of video over “found audio” is damn effective.
Down With Absolutes! has an open government song.
Karmic Musings: “Man sues over erection drink”
Kavips Documents how Castle is trying to implement the Iraqi Hydrocarbon Act (which basically nets billions for US oil companies).

Around the Horn Friday: Rudy Comes to DE – the serial edition.
Part 1: The big story
Rudy Guliani came to Delaware and he was even more brazen about disgustingly slurping, sucking and gumming the 9-11 teet than I ever imagined he could be.
Get a load of this…
“Before Sept. 11, I only wore a flag [lapel pin] rarely,” he said. “I started wearing it every day. Each time [...]
Around The Horn Friday: Jack’s All In Edition
Well the big news this week was that Jack Markell has announced that he is running for Guv’ner. This will potentially set up the best campaign that we have seen in this state since I’ve been of voting age. All over it this week was Tommywonk with the pre-announcement and then the announcement [...]

Around the Horn: It’s the War Stupid! Edition
It has been a short week and I’m glad to see it gone. It should be a perfect weekend, so enjoy it.
This week saw the airing of the first DelawareLiberal.Net radio ad. I do fear that more people have listened here than on WDEL, but hey, we’re more informative. Great work [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Victory and Defeat Edition
This has been a week of success and defeat. On Tuesday, we won our a battle in the war to get wind power in Delaware. But yesterday, Congress folded and lost a battle to end the war in Iraq.
Tommywonk has been the go-to guy on the wind park. Again he proves it [...]
Around the Horn Friday: We Put the Con in NeoCon Edition
Finally a Bush appointee is held accountable for their behavior. It can’t be easy to find a woman willing to put up with you if you are Wolfowitz, but stay legal. Good thing she didn’t want him to kill someone.
The Princess Blogger Celia Cohen kicked off a debate about the most anticipated Delaware [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Taking the Wind Out of NRG’s Sails Edition
I have been pretty scarce this week. My corporate overlords decided that there were too many people in the office so they fixed the problem. Remind me to short our stock. Anyway, I am back with this post and hopefully I’ll be posting more next week.
Last weekend, the fightin’ 41st traded in [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Special Election Edition II
It must be a sign of how much the Mexican immigrants are influencing our country, when we have an election on Cinco de Mayo. The downside is that the bars will probably not be open until after the election. Sorry John, if you want to drink, you’ll have to head down to OCMD.
Big [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Veto Imminent Edition
Well the legislative branch has grown some cajones. Sure the chimp is going to veto the bill that funds the war, but requires that troops be withdrawn on October 1. So be it. The best part is that Bush will get it on the anniversary of his famous “Mission Accomplished” speech. [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Remember the Hokies Edition
We’re back again with another installment of around the horn. This week has been gut-wrenching as the horror of VT came more into focus as the week progressed. It may have been the best thing for Gonzo, though, as many people just had to turn off the TV after the latest news from [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Special Election Edition I
If you live in the 7th Representative District, get out and vote tomorrow, and vote for Bryon Short. Good luck Bryon!
We start things off right with Tommywonk (a nutritious part of this delicious breakfast). Tom has a nice piece on one of the many things that brought down Imus, guest rebellion.
I am fascinated [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Hoppin’ Down the the Bunny Trail Edition
It has been a busy week for me personally, so sorry that I haven’t posted much. Damn corporate intrigue. Luckily, in my relative absence, donviti has stepped in and filled the void. Great posts dude. Myself, Tom Noyes, Jason and donviti (just missing Dr. Nick) all converged on Iron Hill last [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Tearful Apology Edition
I must start this “Around the Horn” with the last time that I will rave about the bravery of Dave Burris over at First State Politics. I don’t care what anyone says, I credit Dave with talking John Adkins into resigning. He has my eternal respect. Now where have you been Brutha? [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Bedtime for Gonzo Edition
It has been a week of sad anniversaries, political intrigue and Dick Cathcart giving John Atkins a safe ride home. In addition, I have cleaned up the blogroll a little, as promised. If anyone is unhappy with their placement, let me know. I am not tied to the classification of any of [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Think Spring Edition
Welcome to Around the Horn for Sunshine Week. The legislature was in session this week, so they generated some headlines with some of our favorite blogs.
Citizens for a Better Sussex has got a website up and running, but it hurts my head to look at it…
Hube is annoyed that Special Ed students can get [...]
Around the Horn Friday: “License, Registration and Proof of Legislator Status” Edition
Well in a week where John Atkins was found to have brought the Legislature into disrepute (quite a feat in Dover) and The PSC holds open hearings on new sources of power, we have our honor roll or notable posts this week.
Last week I screwed up and missed Tommywonk in the roundup. Never again, [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Wayne Smith Cash-in Edition
The departure of Wayne Smith this week dominated several of the local blogs. Some of the best coverage was by First State Politics. Let it never be said that I don’t give credit when it is due. Of course, Dave is also calling in the reinforcements. This could be a fun [...]

Around the Horn Friday: Gave up Paul Smith for Lent edition
Hopefully Delaware Liberal is getting its mojo back. Like us or hate us, we are running strong. BIG shout-outs to Tommywonk and DoctorNick for their contibutions. I am feeling good about keeping this bandwagon rolling. The best news is that there’s only 1 year, 10 months and 27 days left [...]
