One HUGE unresolved issue of 2010- Delaware
— CAC

Delaware.
Land of..what exactly? Oregonites, New Yorkers, Texans and Californians, besides any potential family that live in that "state", what purpose does Delaware serve? Those of us in the other 49 states are, frankly, puzzled by its very existence.

For those of you who have heard rumors, yes it actually exists- it's a state that rests on the Delmarva Peninsula, mainly to buffer the bulk of Eastern Shore Maryland from having a kickassedly massive shoreline. Blocks Pennsylvania from having one at all, in fact.

The big story out of the First State this year was not, in fact, the epic battle of Rino V Conservative. Nor was it the Big F'n Deal out of native son Biden's mouth. No, Delaware managed to highlight its uselessness. Facts below. Fact #1-
It did not make a damn bit of difference who won the Senate race, proving its utter worthlessness in an election. O'Donnell was simply too goofy and needed to save $1 million for her new house and pay her back taxes, so the only real potential winners considering the primary candidates from either party were Castle and Coons. Coons was going to vote left. Castle was too. In the end, even if Christine had won, DADT and START still would have passed.
Useless, utterly useless.

Fact #2-
Delaware is New Jersey's New Jersey. Smell Wilmington and tell me I am wrong.

Fact #3-
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, brags about their adventures at the University of Delaware. Any photographic evidence in fact that the campus exists at all is sketchy- they could just be using a very, very big cardboard cutout.

Fact #4-
You are suckered into paying $10 to literally enter and leave the state when you are moving between the far more useful ones. $10 for 10 miles of driving, all without the hope of a surprise hummer from a truck stop hooker. No hope because the state takes about 20 minutes to walk through (yet an hour to drive on the 10 mile toll road) so there's no point in having a truck stop.

Fact #5-
It looks funny.

Fact #6-
Delaware is taking up prime real estate that could be used for more productive things, like an alternative to Yucca Mountain or a permanent monster truck rally.

All of these facts in total prove the obvious- something needs to be done about this "Delaware" before its pointlessness spreads.

Delaware's most famous (and ONLY) appearance in modern film:

As for Wilmington, we can smell it here in PA. That's why they built the 495 bypass -- to make it easier to skirt the joint.

Because of the signage on I-95, I thought for years that the Delaware state motto was "Pay Toll Ahead". Welcome to Delaware Pay Toll Ahead

On one of our trips through the state our car broke down (at night) and we ended up having to get it towed to a repair shop and spend the night in a hotel waiting for it to open the next day. Everybody we met during that little adventure was very friendly and helpful.

Arlington County and Alexandria City in Virginia once were part of DC, but they were ceded back to Virginia in 1847. With this as precedent, whenever libtards demand that DC become a state, the proper response is to demand that DC be ceded back to Maryland, from whence it came. Perhaps Maryland would gain one or two Representatives as a result, but no new Senators would be created.

33 It took me 9.5 hours to drive from southern Long Island to Silver Spring, MD yesterday. Most of that was spent in the armpit of America, New Jersey, but a not inconsiderable portion was wasted in the useless state of Delaware. And why? Because they have a toll after the bridge, followed by approximately 50 lanes converging to two in order to continue on I-95, and then a toll at the freaking end of the state - which itself was made worse by those asshats who still haven't discovered a thing called EZ Pass.

I hate Delaware.

41 The founders were smart in that they didn't want the federal bureaucrats that they knew would make up the entirety of the population of DC become a voting block. Think about it, at the time of the founding, they had no votes for federal office.

DC has the largest Democrat majority of any State (though DC is not a state) and that should be proof enough that Dems are the wrong side.

" ... whenever libtards demand that DC become a state, the proper response is to demand that DC be ceded back to Maryland, from whence it came."

Some years ago, George Will proposed shrinking the District of Columbia to the area immediately surrounding the Mall, the Capitol, and the White House - the area in which the federal government actually does its work. Under this proposal, the District would be a tiny enclave within Washington, rather like the Vatican is within Rome. Everything else would be returned to Maryland. Naturally, this proposal got nowhere, but I think it's the best solution to the DC situation.

53 In 1791, Vermont became the first state after the original 13 admitted to the Union. It was Massachusetts and New York that fought over the Green Mountain State (along with a few Canadians, too) before Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys decided to kick ass and take names. New Hampshire and Maine were still controlled by Indians, so they were in no position to fight over 'Verd Mont'. Except for the Northeast Kingdom and Rutland County, the state that was once rock-ribbed Republican is now a bastion of Libtards. It's greatest export is people.

55 You folks need to lighten up on DE! Are you implying that all other states are completely smell-free? Is the experience at University of MD or Alaska or South Dakota better and why? While it is true that DE rips off motorists with a $5 (one way) toll entering the state on I 95, for natives there is a way around that. Hey, it's revenue that they otherwise lose because there is no state sales tax. Something that is advertised at $5.99 is actually $5.99. I might also mention that everyone in this thread benefits from products that the DuPont Company developed. Remember too that the Revolutionary War wouldn't have been won without DE's DuPont gunpowder. I don't have a British accent or a Queen because of the DuPont Co. Thanks DE!!!

Grew up in CT, used hitch from UCONN to see a girl at UDEL, and currently live in RI - so this thread is the trifecta for me.

RI exists to give mobsters (and their pet politicians) a safe place to live (Providence is still about as mobbed up a city as you'll find nowadays). After all, a recent mayor of Providence was a guy named "Buddy" who served jail time (and this after dodging another close call from the cops).. It's probably the most liberal and screwed up (but I repeat myself) place we've lived in. OTOH, it is close enough to The Boss's family that she can visit them whenever she wants, and far enough from mine (they're both in CT) so that they almost never visit us. And the beaches are nice.

According to that link, it's the same group that caused the first investigation. Whether the campaign can pay her a salary was never in doubt. Whether there are such things as illegal versus legal payouts would be the only question. It will be interesting to see whether buying burgers at a bowling alley will get:
A. the same
B. less
C. more

than Obama's college transcripts, Kerreys' military records or any of the Obamacare spending remains to be seen.

79 Hey, Ace. Ex-Oregon resident here. The demonym for someone who lives there is 'Oregonian' not Oregonite. The more you know!

80 Not understanding all of the hatred for DE. Hundreds of thousands enjoy Rehoboth, Dewey, Lewes, Bethany, and Fenwick Island. I mean, if they hate it so bad, let 'em stay home May-September! And, prior to statehood, DE was a part of PA, so should we beat on PA now? As pointed out earlier, PA has Kennett Square, the nation's Mushroom Captial (smelly), it also has Philadelphia, land of brotherly hate (anyone want to talk MOVE circa 1985?), Pittsburgh (I won't even go there), Centralia, Johnstown, etc. Every state has its bad and good. DE has Joe Biden and Christine O'Donnell, but Minnesota has Al Franken and Jesse "truther" Ventura, Massachusetts has Barney Fwank and John F'n Kerry, California is the land of fruits and nuts, Nevada has Harry Reid...how much more do we need to throw out there?

83 Delaware did get a mention in the tv show Taxi. Jim Ignatowski was watching a debate on whether inhabitants of Delaware should be called Delawarians or Delawanians on his wall of tvs. I forget which group won the debate.

84 @79 rasputin, isn't Oregonite that stuff they sprinkle on Italian food?
