From WGMD News:
Senator Ted Kaufman–when speaking about the economic recovery package this month–had mentioned a website that lets you, the taxpayer, figure out where the money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is going. That website is recovery.gov –which is now set up and ready to go. They also have a link to the final text of the legislation–in its entirety–all 400 plus pages. Read the full bill here:

Beth Cayhall, is competing for a spot to open for Little Big Town (fantastic modern country band). The deadline to vote for her is this Friday, Feb. 27th She is currently at number eight, but needs your votes to help her fly to the top!!! (Vote now - and vote often!!)
For those who don’t know - or haven’t heard her music occasionally on the Dan Gaffney Show - Beth is a country singer, but also a local girl - and daughter to State Representative Gerald Hocker.
The report from the Sussex County Regiment is very good. A website will soon be in operation. I wasn’t able to attend Saturday’s meeting as I was here at work but I did have a representative in attendance. Organizers are suggesting they’ll soon have a more permanent meeting place and schedule. While I’m not trying to “out” any members I will suggest, and this is only a suggestion, the meeting place become public knowledge. The ultimate decision will remain with the organization’s membership.
Organizers are also suggesting a large turnout at the March 9 Sussex County Republican meeting. Not as to create an adjunct for the G.O.P. but to allow members an opportunity to see how a political party functions.
Let me expand here. The Sussex County Regiment will not be working to carry water for any party. One look at Mitch McConnell should tell you the GOP is bereft of ideas and ideals. I’ve suggested, and again only suggested, the organization stay clear of Brandywine Hundred country clubbers. Next year members of the local Republican Party will be all smiles publicly when urging you to vote for Mike Castle. Many of you know the meaning of the word hypocrisy.
The only method available for contacting the Sussex County Regiment remains email: sccor2009@yahoo.com.
Meanwhile, last week the President of The Patriot League of Central New York appeared on my program explaining how you can create these organizations and make them grow and have a lasting impact. Check out his website: www.plcny.com.

I’ve decided to put up a few different new podcasts. Rather than sifting through mountains of audio and being inundated with blogs about what’s new — I’m doing a brand-new iTunes ready podcast called: Jared’s Picks..

John Brady’s leap to the ranks of the Democrats didn’t go unnoticed at the Naval Observatory. This morning the Vice President telephoned John and welcomed him back to the fold. It may be that John’s decision will be greatly rewarded with such support. Like many of you I was disappointed. As I’ve mentioned many times I’m a former Democrat who left during the Clinton years and then briefly came back to the party when Clinton left office. Democrats were my dad’s party. He was an old “labor Democrat” who bolted to vote for Reagan. Twice. I left the second time when it became apparent following September, 2001 that the party was working to undermine our fighting men and women. I don’t like appeasers. There may be a great many Democrats you can live next door to but I’ve a second and greater reason to keep my distance. The blood of 50 million babies screams out for justice and Catholics like Biden and Pelosi are blazing trails straight to hell. The same with the Mormon leading the Senate Majority and toss in a multi-trillion dollar spending plan and apparently Democrats suffer from mass delusion.
All said let’s get back to Mr. Brady. It doesn’t come up much in polite society here but John is a gay American. Well placed Republicans never mentioned it but speaking to me yesterday two did. Apparently John was O.K. while a gay Republican but as a gay Democrat the playing field is altered. A couple of things of note, what in blazes does that have to do with his ability to hold elective office and why should this suddenly end friendships? You can’t live in Sussex County , Delaware and not have friends or do business with people who are gay. Are there people suggesting we place these neighbors behind barbed wire? If so, who’ll protect your liberty when it’s threatened? John is my friend. He has been a good public servant and he certainly is smart enough for any job he tackles. John Brady is the smartest person I’ve met in Delaware and I’ve even met “Pete” DuPont. As for the local GOP, politics was once a grass roots effort and I applaud some of the changes being made here, however. Ultimately the party will follow the national lead and Mr. Steele is no conservative. A very good friend of mine wanted to get involved with the local Republican Party. She’s a woman and was told she could be of great help with bake sales. Bake sales! Gentlemen of the GOP, this is 2009 and not just in the rest of the United States but as well as in Sussex County . My friend is articulate and extremely photogenic so why is there this effort to assign her to an auxiliary?
While all of these things have been taking place on my show and in my life a much more sinister subplot is bubbling in the background. A fellow by the name of Jon Paul Benedict, or that’s his email name, has been sending me messages demanding I campaign for gay marriage. I suggested he take it up with the man he voted for in last year’s Presidential election.. This only fried J.P. and he gave me grief about being a divorced American. Yes, it’s true, and this fool Benedict has no clue as to why I’m divorced and my family is off limits. I’ve mentioned it on-air because people have asked and to say I’m currently married would be a lie. Then he emailed me to say he and some shadowy organization he belongs to were going to investigate my personal life. A warning, I’m a big man and I’m the father of a lovely daughter. Don’t cross me. Not only would I die for her, pal, I would kill for her.
I don’t spend much time talking about gay issues on the show. Oh, I shared a Pat Buchanan column last week for discussion purposes but the issue is really rare on my program. Also I’ve stated that government doesn’t belong in the marriage business. Churches and temples can decide who gets married or whatever name you want. This argument that same sex couples can’t get the same benefits is a wash. No couples should get any changes in benefits with marriage. A system of fair taxation counts all equally and not two as one or one and one half. We’ve got too much government in our lives and if we continue asking Washington or Dover or Trenton to carry us across the puddles then we’ll be nothing more than children with curfews, bed checks and no liberty.
This is why I don’t like “victim” politics. Race victims or sexual preference victims or immigrant victims. It’s destroying us and the intent of The Constitution.
