OCTOBER 18, 2010
I didn’t say it but I wish I had. Meghan McCain, daughter of senator John McCain said it.
Meghan McCain, daughter of Sen. John McCain, said Sunday that Christine O'Donnell, the Tea Party star that won the Delaware GOP Senate nomination, is a "nutjob" who is "making a mockery of running for public office."
She went on to say O’Donnell had never been a success in any endeavor in life. Meghan better be careful or O’Donnell will put a spell on her. On the same show, a Democratic strategist said anytime you run a commercial announcing you are not a witch, you are probably in trouble and have little chance of winning.
I agree. The republicans would have won in Delaware if this ‘one hit wonder’ would not have gotten involved. I believe everyone deserves representation in Congress; everyone except the witches and warlocks in America that is. Governing is a serious business. Isn’t it time O’Donnell’s fifteen minutes were up? I am real tired of hearing about this aberration.
Well, well. After a bunch of justifying, lawyering, lawsuit work, Court involvement and bad mouthing against the Daily Chronicle’s editor and Mac McIntyre, I see where the library board wised up and terminated the contract to buy the old medical clinic building. Did someone finally mention to the board that buildings with this type of historical use generally have significant environmental issues. The report referenced asbestos as a potential problem. Do you really think that is the only environmental issue facing a building that routinely disposed of human medical waste for decades?
How much money was wasted on this poorly conceived plan? Was this a bailout as a show of appreciation to a local concern who has maintained a presence downtown for years? The owner is stuck with a building that still has environmental issues that are more costly and cumbersome for a private owner to deal with than a government agency? I think the local press deserves a pat on the back for its diligence in covering this story. It seemed obvious, once the library owned this white elephant, projected costs were going to skyrocket.
I wish the owners luck in selling the property but I am glad the local taxing bodies have nothing to do with it. Of course this purchase could be renegotiated at a much lower cost, perhaps making the deal worthwhile.
DeKalb High School stayed alive to play another day. Sycamore High School seems to have peeked too early.
