The Question is Why
Redwaterlilly’s take on the CRI prison violence report.
Just go there and read it — tell her what you are thinking about this.

Why The News Journal Sucks!
I don’t know if you missed it, but DelawareLiberal has been mentioned in the News Journal twice in the past two weeks. Both times, we were trotted out to smack us around. The most egregious was the mention on Sunday about our recent change in personnel.
The other mention seems trivial, but it is a little more insidious. Smitty saw it and pointed it out to us. The discussion of DL was that we were trading in baseless rumors.

A Witty Saying Proves Nothing
When the Prince of Darkness died, I commented, “Good riddance. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way to Hell.” It was Chilon of Sparta who once said that one should not speak ill of the dead, but I’m pretty sure that he wasn’t speaking of people like Robert Novak.
With all [...]
Absence of Journalism
One of our frequent targets of derision is The News Journal — from their inexplicable and often wrong keeper of the Delaware Way Mr. Ron Williams, to some of their very shallow reporting of local politics — this is a paper that doesn’t seem to know from the “paper of record”

A Very Special Around the Horn
Tonight, I was prepared to, at best, declare that coverage of the right wing local blog,Delaware Politics, would no longer be a part of Around the Horn, or at worst, end this column, which provides coverage of the Delaware blogosphere. Why? Because of the attempted outting of Kavips by Dave Burris at Delaware [...]

Mind: Lost
I just caught some commenting over at DWA and as Mike would say, OH MY!
Ladies and Gentlemen… Nancy Willing:

EXCUSED ME?
You have something to say then fuckng say it bitch.
What did Karen DO EXACTLY, Asswipe fuck.
Sorry but what you don’t know is that the gaii fucking community sought to destroy KWS in [...]
A Gift at Drinking Liberally
Sometimes we have people that aren’t really liberal show up at Drinking Liberally. Tyler Nixon came out to the last one, and in the past we have had a few of the “cool” Republicans come out.
This evening, one of the cool Republicans, RSmitty came out to hang out with us. He gave me a gift [...]
The Delaware Blogging Community to Shrink
It looks like in the next few weeks, Delaware blogging will lose two of its longest running blogs.
Mike Matthews over at Down With Absolutes has been pretty clear that he is planning to go to an all-twitter format. He has gone so far as to look for someone to take over for him.
Today, Dave Burris [...]
Around the Horn Friday: Evening Edition
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Down With Absolutes
Harrington Raceway CEO Patti Key lied to the General Assembly.
The wingnuttey WGMD rails against equality, or as it is known legislatively, HB5.
Liveblogging the HB 5 Senate Executive Committee Hearing.
Mike tells a Representative that he loves low voter turnout and thus opposes HB 117.
But he does stand strong for equality, and he [...]

Point and Laugh for 4/24
Dana says that our enemies do worse, so torture is okay. A commenter who shows some common sense says:
When I was six years old, Dana, my mother taught me that just because someone else does it, doesn’t mean I should do it.
Congratulations, the United States is not quite as bad as the Taliban, despite, you [...]
Anonymous Blogging
We’ve had our arguments in the Delaware blogosphere about anonymous blogging, sometimes with outings, sometimes not. But at the end of it all, I believe we’ve agreed to disagree.
Not so in Alaska.
Apparently an Alaska State Representative took it upon himself to out the creative force behind Mudflats. Shouldn’t a state representative have more to do [...]
Video from the Markell Event
Jack Markell discusses the stimulus, Vince Meconi and civil unions. This should put to rest any idea that he is wishy-washy on civil unions.

Credit Where Credit Is Not Due
Steve Newton of Delaware Libertarian has written two recent posts (more on his latest posts at the bottom) on the Glenn Beck organization We Surround Them. In the first post Steve appears far more concerned with those who take Beck and Norris seriously, claiming that it’s those (read:us) attempting “to stereotype everybody who disagrees with [...]

Jindal’s Belief in Hogwash
Since we are celebrating the 200th annivesarty of Charles Darwin’s birth, it’s time to bring this video clip back to the forefront. Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican minion favorite, supports the teaching of Intelligent Design in direct contrast to our Constitution as seen in the Kitzmeiller v. Dover Area School District et. al decision (pdf).

A Fools Errand: Seeking Apologies
I have to hand it to Jason. He has doggedly sought an apology from anyone that he thought that we were all due one from. He wants an apology for the damage that was done to this country economically, environmentally, socially, politically, diplomatically and legally. He has gotten no takers. The best that he has [...]

A Candle in the Wind
Take a moment to stop over and read Dominique’s post on the tragic loss of her daughter, Ashley. Take tissues with you.

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 [...]

Bush’s Midnight Raids
Suzanne, over at Redwaterlilly’s Ramblings, is documenting the atrocities. And it is nothing less that a full-blown assault on environmental quality and worker’s rights for rules he couldn’t get done during the light of day. So the Worst President Ever is working at doubling down on that legacy.
Nice blogging, Suzanne!
Another Fishy KWS Lie
Brian Shields, of The Mourning Constitution, has blown a huge hole in the excuse that Karen Weldin Stewart campaign manager, Elliot Jacobson gave for her defaulted credit cards. Her campaign racked up debt before it existed. Good trick.

Troll Management
From time to time, we bloggers are challenged. We are confronted with the Internet equivalent of a vandal, or an abuser. It is at these times that we are forced to decide where the right to free speech is abridged. Now I am not talking about Dave Burris banning Mike Protack (or his router, for [...]

That little widget on the right has bee staring at you for almost a month now. You still haven’t clicked it and made a donation… The walk is this weekend and it will really help a segment of our population that can use all of the help they can get.
The Autism Society of Delaware has [...]
