Christine O'Donnell, who is challenging Joe Biden, repeats a number of the standard fossil fuel industry talking points in her op-ed advocating offshore drilling that appeaared in the News Journal today. But the piece contained a point that I had not seen before: Biden would like us to believe that offshore drilling is an environmental catastrophe. But only 1 percent of the oil pollution in th...

By now, we all know about the Delaware Democratic Party funding an ad lauding Carney and DeLuca as the true heros in the Bluewater Wind deal. In essence, the Party paid for a campaign ad for John Carney. I strongly oppose the Party’s actions here, but to me, it was to be expected. When the party endorsed [...]...

I read DelawarePolitics.net so you don’t have to. Christian Hudson: Palestinians are good guys, because Obama said something nice about Israel.

The wooded grove behind Arden's Gild Hall is the perfect place to spend a hot summer afternoon with good friends and great music. Delaware's own Spinto Band deconstructs the elements of pop and rock and reassembles them in energetic, tuneful, off balance arrangements that at times reminds me of early Talking Heads. These guys can play a mile a minute and still turn on a dime. Hoots &a...

The News Journal reports that Joe Biden went to Cape Henlopen to slam George Bush and John McCain for wanting to open up more of the country's coastline to offshore drilling : "I think this is a last-ditch effort to go out and rape the offshore continental shelf, so that they own it and are able to use it as leverage in the future, because they know if they don't get it in the last couple ...

I'm en route to Akron, Ohio for a family thing. But if you're looking for a good night out later this month, my pals at Delaware Liberal are putting on a special Drinking Liberally on Thursday, July 31 at Catherine Rooney's in Wilmington. They're helping to defray the considerable costs of my trip to the convention in Denver in August. In the meanwhile, here's a trivia question: What two...
