"It's class warfare and my class is winning." Warren Buffett

The value of any commodity, ... to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. (Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations Book 1, chapter V.)

The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works....(Barack Obama)

The Delaware Watch 2006 Slate of Endorsed and Preferred Candidates

Below is a list of Delaware candidates that I have either explicitly endorsed or would prefer if I lived in their districts and could vote for them. You’ll notice that I haven’t made a choice in all the races. The reason is simple: I don’t know the candidates and/or the district issues well enough to make an intelligent assessment. I haven’t made any County Council choices for the same reasons.
