Two new positions are open, but the names are old and...shopworn. With City Councilman Charles Potter running for Dennis P. Williams' RD 1 seat, guess who has reemerged to seek Potter's seat? I'll give you a hint. He was once suspended from practicing law in the State of Delaware for 18 months. That's right. Sam Guy. He's ba-a-a-ck. ...

What a public relations disaster. You’d think Komen would have a better spokeswoman, but alas… Via TPM: “Well, let me just for the record tell you, Karen did not have anything to do with this decision,” Brinker responded. “This was decided at the board level and also by our mission, Andrea.” Binker said that the [...]...

The Democrats in the Delaware state House of Representatives are in full damage control mode over a tribute given back in January to C. Peter Wagner, a prominent leader of the New Apostolic Reformation. It would seem inconceivable at first glance that a legislative body owned by Dems (they have an 11-seat majority in that chamber) would give any sort of honor to one of the proponents of a ...

The Red Clay Consolidated School District is holding a Capital Referendum on February 28, 2012. Included in this referendum is the addition of another new suburban elementary school. Let me begin by saying that I wouldn't have a problem with the new school if Red Clay would ensure that its other schools didn't suffer when a new school opened. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the case. In the pa...

Yesterday, I mentioned that New Apostolic Reformation leader C. Peter Wagner claimed to have received a commendation from the Delaware House of Representatives for his efforts to appoint "apostles" in the state. I initially thought Wagner was blowing smoke--not because I didn't think a state legislature would honor anyone who subscribes to this fascist brand of Christianity, but becaus...

Those of us who have watched the New Apostolic Reformation have come to expect bizarre claims. Well, today one of their principal leaders, C. Peter Wagner, made one of the most bizarre ones yet.
