Readin’, Ritin’, and Running Amok
Newsflash: a Sussex County elected official doesn’t like to follow the rules and takes matters into their own hands. No, I’m not talking about Wyatt Earp Sheriff Jeff Christopher, I’m referring to Cape Henlopen School Board member Sandi Minard, (pictured 5th from the top).
Minard is a teabagger. She won her seat in [...]
Staton Off and Running
Not only is Andy Staton the only announced Democrat running for the new state senate district down here in Sussex (and I’m in the new district), he’s also the only announced candidate to have filed a campaign finance report.

Parish Does the Right Thing
We’ve all smacked around Sussex County Clerk of the Peace George Parish for his vehement opposition to both civil unions and marriage equality. But yesterday he did the correct thing and presided over the county’s first same-sex civil union.
The ceremony united Milton Town Councilwoman Mary Hudson and her long-time partner Lynn Ekelund. Parish is [...]

Sussex County Smackdown – Round Four
It’s official. The AG’s office will not prosecute Vance Phillips for his alleged assault on Sheriff Woody.
In a four page letter delivered to Georgetown Police Chief William Topping today, Sussex County Chief Prosecutor Paula Ryan advised that the “Department of Justice [will] forego prosecution of the above referenced matter.”
She called into question Christopher’s veracity, [...]
The Arrogance of Being Jeff Christopher
In the never ending battle to see who has the bigger penis, Sussex County Sheriff and would be super cop Jeff Christopher has told County Council to bugger off. In a long rambling response to County Administrator David Baker’s October 31 memo, Christopher said that he would ignore the memo and continue to make traffic stops and execute criminal warrants.

Trash Picking up Trash
A local Sussex County Nazi group has adopted a road near Lewes to clean up.
About three months ago, Lewes resident Edward McBride applied to adopt a highway on behalf of his political party – National Socialist Freedom Movement Nazi Party. McBride’s request was denied by Delaware Department of Transportation.
When asked why, DelDOT officials took [...]
The Big Guy is Running Again
Former Sussex County Recorder of Deeds John Brady has announced that he is running for Clerk of the Peace next year. Affectionately known as “The Big Guy,” Brady will be seeking the office being abandoned by homophobe George “Bad Wig” Parish. Brady switched back to the Democratic Party after the 2008 election.

I have just found video of Sheriff Jeff Christopher in action down here in Sussex County. He makes his appearance at 12:20 in the video.
For the pointy-headed munchkins over at DP, this is parody.
Tempers Flaring in Sussex? – UPDATED
We received a tip this evening that there was some sort of physical altercation at County Council between Councilman Vance Phillips and Sheriff Jeff Christopher. Georgetown Police were called to the County Council Building by the sheriff. The matter is under investigation by the police and no arrests have been made at this time. Note that during this altercation, one of the people was armed (guess who?).

Taking the Law into One’s Own Hands
Seems that some of the folks who work for the sheriff’s department down here in Sussex can’t get it through their thick heads that they are not law enforcement officers.
I’ve received numerous reports of an incident that occurred last Friday near Lincoln. A sheriff’s deputy, in uniform and driving a sheriff’s vehicle, decided that [...]
Good Old Time in Sussex County
Last night was the annual Sussex County Democrats Spring Dinner, held once again at the CHEER Center in Georgetown. A sell-out crowd of 200 people (and this is an off year) gathered for some good food (catered by Georgia House) and live and silent auctions. The main speaker was Lt. Governor Matt Denn, [...]

Sussex County Council President on the Take?
What would you say if I told you that the President of The Sussex County Council was paid $5,000 in salary by the largest developer in Sussex County? Sounds pretty fishy, eh? Well that is exactly what developer and Republican candidate for US Congress Glenn Urquhart is doing with his campaign funds.
Let’s review. Glenn Urquhart [...]
Good News, Bad News for Beau Biden
It was a bad December in Sussex county in the last two weeks of the month, while they should have been enjoying family and friends, Sussex citizens were fretting about crimes. There was an abduction and murder of a young girl just over the state line in Maryland (her body was found on Christmas day). [...]

Time to Put Up or Shut Up Sussex County Republicans
As a terrible storm slowly works its way up the coast, I hereby call on Mike Castle and Sussex County Republicans to demand that the federal government save our tax dollars by not spending on beach replenishment. Sussex County is sick and tired of the inefficient and dangerous expansion of government into what should be [...]

Oh. Shut. Up. Sussex County Whiners, I’m Calling You Out
Quel dommage, petites pauvres Sussex County condo residents.
From today’s News-Journal, a bunch of self-entitled crybabies from Sea Pines Condominiums, and other overdeveloped areas of coastal Sussex, are whining that their aesthetic quality of life will simply be destroyed if/when a 100-foot communications tower is built near their property. Let’s illustrate just how dire their situation [...]
