Delaware Today Fires A Shot Over My Bow

Delaware Today Fires Shot Over My Bow

 

Page 20 of the current Delaware Today magazine has a column by a fellow named Matt Amis.  Matt has made a funny.  The title of the piece is called “Dela Where?” and it looks at the other “Delawares” across the country.   Here is an excerpt:

 

Delaware, Iowa.  What has a population of 188 and is roughly 98.9 percent white?  No, it’s not Dan Gaffney’s listening audience.  It’s the hustling, bustling, middle-of-freakin’-nowhere town of Delaware, Iowa.  Does this even qualify as a one-horse town? Palomino, maybe?

 

I’m thinking of rallying my black listeners for a march on the offices of Delaware Today.

    Guess the world revolves around Wilmington and the “other” listeners. This proclomation was racist at face value.

    I’m one black listener who will be there for you Dan!– at least it wasn’t the News Urinal doing the story- the would say 98.9% of an unknown race and 1.1% of an other unknown race. Keep up the good work- your an honorary BRO’.
