Some of you may be familiar with fellow blogger Kilroy’s interesting take on the Lieutenant Governors race.. to the uninitiated… he is proposing a dual power structure where Copeland shares power with Markell.. Most of us say “what?” After all what is the point of voting for Markell over Carney last September, if we are going to hamstring Markell up by his thumbs and give him Copeland as a lieutenant governor..? Why would you press the brake and accelerator at the same time?
To spin the wheels and make smoke…. of course.. Delaware has had too much of that already.
Now no doubt, due to the novelty of the idea, some have paused to consider its validity for a moment… and to be truthful, were the fantasy to work,…unlike the brake and accelerator analogy, the concept is intriguing… But Kilroy is forgetting something… he is forgetting what Charlie Copeland is!
In his own words, here is some of what he has posted himself about one Charles Copeland……
Copeland will show his face either this month or next before the general election and I’ll be ready re: green slip to call him out in public and ask why now does he show his face! Thank God Copeland is out of a senate job! The is a deep dark ugly side to education and Copeland. Copeland’s broad swipe at all DSEA members shows lack of real leadership! Hopefully the new DSEA President can restore the public opinion of good DSEA member tarnished by Copeland and Lee’s reckless remarks that put all teachers in one basket. So you rather me say FUCK public school teachers like Lee and Copeland? Don’t count on the likes of Senator Charlie Copeland to be a partner in this fight. He made a choice of being in bed with the good olds boys and girls of the school board to support them in their charter school agenda!nor will he stand by the brave few in Red Clay that will continue to call for full financial transparency! Copeland is a sellout! Copeland really pissed my off by acting like he was ready to stand with the community but didn’t confront Red Clay stated he didn’t want to infringe on local school board control! It’s obvious Charlie Copeland will not be elected the next Lt. Governor of Delaware! He isn’t on the ballot for his current senate seat therefore politically he will be out in the cold! Charlie really pissed me off by turning his backs on the needs of the Red Clay Community! I can’t stand with someone who can’t stand for social justice! Compilation of Kilroy quotes from August 27 to September 2 from Kilroy’s Delaware.
Not to mention that Tommywonk, who Kilroy calls a “must-read” blog on his blogroll…. has called out Copeland for lying to the public… Not to mention that other bloggers of whom Kilroy has a high regard, have called out Copeland for lying to the public. Not to mention that the News Journal has repeatedly called out Charlie Copeland for lying to the public. Not to mention that even the New York Times has called out Charlie Copeland for lying to the public… Now if it was newsworthy enough to be covered in the New York Times, out of all the politicians scattered across this gigantic country, then you know the stink must be so bad… that it was whiffed two hundred miles away in New York!
Before Kilroy’s change of heart (yeah right)…his favorite name for Charlie was “piece of shit” Copeland… So as an exercise of truthfulness.. how does Kilroy’s argument stack up if one substitutes Kilroy’s pet name into his Markell argument? This should be fun…..(does politics ever get better than this….?)
Education! (Co-piece of shit) still doesn’t get it! 17 Charter schools in Delaware with 8 under federal and state academic review or watch! This is a fact! All he has to do is going online and look at the school profiles. The successful charter schools are playing the twisted admission rules allowing them to draw on the best and brightest for public school “and” private schools. (Co-piece of shit) feels close to 50% of the charter schools are superior much higher than traditional public schools. Duh (Co-piece of shit), give the traditional public schools the same ability to pick and choose students and toss the undesirables out, you’ll see the same results as charters. This is why a Lee-(Co-piece of Shit) administration won’t work because Lee would give the keys the car that drives education and (Co-piece of Shit) would totally destroy public education including charter schools.
(Co-piece of Shit) in a Markell administration would not have the keys to the car or the liquor cabinet. Markell’s plan is balanced and (Co-piece of Shit) would get the biggest education of his life. Markell and (Co-piece) could hammer out the difference and bring the all legislators to the table.
No doubt there are many many problems is pretty much on state agencies and the common denominator is money! The State of Delaware has a broken financial structure and nothing will change until we fix it! All candidates and I mean all are blowing smoke up our asses! We cannot improve our schools with yearly state budget cuts! Hear me well and my Red Clay friends, education in 2009 will take the biggest cut in the history of Delaware public schools! Chrysler 1000 jobs, GM over 400 jobs, Invista 300 jobs? and more to come! This will have a ripple effect on Delaware’s economy causing less state revenues.
We don’t need a state wish list or a multi page book! We need just a one sentence plan, “reform state finances and bring them to full transparency.”
Throwing Markell and (Co-piece of Shit) together will “force” both of them and their parties to get their heads out of their asses!
In that context the argument is quite funny… worthy of a piece on John Stewart….. And I really do not want to bust too much on Kilroy… This is really going out to others of you who swallowed this (piece of shit) whole…. 🙂
If we really want change… instead of linking the agent of change we elected… Jack Markell … to what Kilroy calls a (piece of shit)… doesn’t it make more sense that we will get the change we elected, by linking him to another reformer, who is, as Kilroy himself describes:
“Denn is a great guy”?

I like this part the best! LOL
“was way too much fun to pass up”
That’s what it’s all about! Many of us are shoveling the shit! The worse thing could happen is Copeland looses! Life goes on doesn’t? But imagine if he wins!
Of course 90% of it is bullshit but It would be interesting how a Markell-Copeland administration plays out! Just think in four years the R’s finger pointing about being part of the Minner I mean Markell administration couldn’t be used! The Minner card was the downfall of Carney! But playing in on Denn is a bit lame. Denn “is” a good guy but dam it is really time for the two parties to get there heads out of their asses and work for the people.
Now go back on my blog when I was trashing Markell and now of course I support him. I am voting for Markell and ready do believe many of his plans will need money that’s not there!
I just want to see financial transparency especially in education. I hope after the election the blogger can unite for one cause!
I am glad you had some fun with Kilroy’s

I did… I sure you will agree, as soon as voting is over, we start ratcheting heat on pushing Adams aside as president pro tempore and get someone who will go occasionally open the desk drawer…
That my friend …. is where the real problem is… and the replacement had better not be DeLuca…..
By the way… after the election is past, you should resurrect the seagull with the headline…Kilroy Eats Crow…
lol, this is way too much fun….

Nothing harms a lone wolf howling in the wind! Diversions are only one tactic of war! I let people see what they want. Playing dumb doesn’t mean one is stupid! The power belongs to the people and that goes for Dover. Perseverance always prevails and every dog has his day!
I’ll be glad to get crow but just image if Copeland won! There wouldn’t enough crows to feed the naysayers. So you see the risk of one man eating crow was worth it. One will not feel pain if one feels no pain!

“Every attempt to relate the One and the Many would seem to generate a relation which itself could become one more object of reflection, hence one more particular, ad infinitum, rendering reality as a whole ungraspable by thought.”

You said nothing harms the lone wolf howling in the wind…Not true.
Obviously you missed the Sarah Palin video of wolf hunting by airplane in the Alaskan wilderness…
If one is going to howl… wisely do it under a tree if you hear an airplane.

” Kavips and liberalgeek address Kilroy’s obsession with Copeland. ”
Kavips is more level-headeds about it and didn’t crack like the Geek!
There is some much fear that Copeland will win people are going insane!
For real Denn is runing a poor campagin and Markell pulled him out of the quicksand. People need to relax and have a little fun! If they real care after the election they need to band together a force some changes to negative campagining law!
Now do you really think I am going to be heartbroken if Copeland doesn’t win?
