I’m gonna show you and everybody else that Willy Loman did not die in vain. He had a good dream. It’s the only dream you can have – to come out number-one man. He fought it out here, and this is where I’m gonna win it for him. Death of a Salesman Happy Loman, Act 2 Kevin Wade [...]

Lying a mere 1K, as the crow – or rocket – flies, from the Gaza strip, the modest Israeli town (19,500… and change) of Sderot has for a decade attracted its share of the red glare that accompanies the Qassam rockets as they make their way into the precarious lives of its traumatized tenants. The [...]

“How fortunate for government that the people they administer don’t think” - Adolf Hitler As chilling as it is to quote history’s quintessential mad palaverist, there still remain lessons to be learned as to how an entire people can be drawn into the madness. Distorted words and twisted logic passing themselves off as gospel [...]

The American Soldier. A battling archetype born of the relentless spirit and fierce will for a fight that has preserved democracy and freedom ever since a fateful morning 19 April, 1775 on a Concord Bridge and a Lexington Green. A legend of honor and bravery honed later in the trenches of the Western Front, the [...]

So the migration to the beaches begins. Not quite the hot sunny days we were hoping would stretch from mid-week through the weekend – more like late September than late May – but nice enough to fire up the grill, imbibe with friends at the first Jam Session, or stroll in sweater style on the [...]

Come Back to the Five and Dime Kevin Wade, Kevin Wade. Yo Kevin, where’d ya go? Been two weeks since the Convention handed ya a show finish amongst your political peeps, and we were just wonderin what the hell ya decided to do. So… what the hell’d ya decide to do? Besides sit back with a [...]

Remember when the Dems bypassed Jack Markell for the party endorsement? Jack does. He of course won’t play that card, but one could bet it’s somewhere roaming the back alleys of his mind as he climbs on board a “Grandma Minner Express” as it rolls toward a date with the microscope. With parties from both shores [...]

All this time trying like everyone else to figure out how to stretch a dollar… down economy, yo… when all I had to was run down to Kreston’s … I mean, Boarders and buy Ruth Ann’s new book THE MINNER MIRICLE. “ Loaves, fishes, and bottled beer.” Hell of a book I hear. Sold fairly [...]

Been driving Del 1 a lot lately; with the convention last week and a lil break this weekend past. Prob gonna run the tires again in a few days as the Cultured Pearl and “Columbia Blue” skies beckon scribes and Vets alike to revisit the Nations Summer Capital. Good Memorial Day beach weather has never [...]

We’ve been writing a lot lately about pretenders, contenders, Mama’s and Papa’s. Oil and blood in the water. Stained parchments and feigned rights. Chosen Ones and Quiet men. 9-12 stopwatches, and brewing discontent. About politicos who step to the plate and take chances – some with much to gain; some with much to lose. We’ve [...]

So the State GOP convention is history. As are a few of the hopefuls chances. The show of hands had handed Mama the spoils and with them the key to the Bat Cave (as if she needed one). A lot of money was spent and if we are to believe the buzz from Papa’s and [...]

It wasn’t yet Memorial Day but one could see the signs of the impending Summer season here in Rehoboth Beach. Parking was at a minimum (and no, we’re not talking the 5 min meters that require begging for quarters), the tourists, while sans tans were in July cruise mode, and the legion of Oakley sporting [...]

Patois. A uniquely Jamaican dialect that on first intonation baffles the auditory senses and makes one reach for a Red Stripe while inexplicably crankin’ up some Peter Tosh. The lingo of the indigenous folks from Negril to Port Antonio to Ocho Rios to Kingston, holds a special place amongst all Jamaicans and might just be [...]

Should anyone have read the press releases lately from the stable housing the GOP’s 3rd ranked House candidate, K-Wade, they would’ve been treated largely to an amateur calligraphy loaded with warm and fuzzy redundancy as to how their man has captured the hearts, affection, and support of anyone who has shaken his hand or come [...]

John Carney has been more of a Quiet Man than The Quiet Man (Coons) recently. Being the Dems “Chosen One” for the House post does come with certain advantages and not feeling a compelling charge to stump his butt off this early and commit precious resources are amongst the many. His only primary competition, coming [...]

Wait!… you didn’t know there was another songwriting duo that penned under a moniker so very similar to that of the fab four? Well there is, and if you thought there was a rift between John and Paul (by way of Yoko) then wait till you hear the National Enquire caliber squabble Vladimir and Joseph [...]
