If you've lived in Delaware for any length of time, you get used to the ribbing....
There's the wheeziest of the wheezies: "Dela-where?"
And that other tired saw: "Delaware? What state is that in?"
One of my favorite lines came from Food Network boob Tyler Florence, who when we were talking about Delaware, said to me: "Oh yeah, I've been to Baltimore before." (Huh? I still have NO idea what the hell he was talking about.)
But a lot of people are geographically challenged. I get it. And when you live in a tiny state (that's still not as small as Rhode Island) you just get used to it.
Once, in the Bahamas, I told some guy I was from Delaware and he said "Wow, that's a state you never hear about."
No more.
Love him or hate him - Joe Biden made Delaware history last night. (And, oh yeah, so did Barack Obama.) Pretty damn cool.
The photo above comes from my colleague Rhina Guidos. She said a friend from the Newseum in Washington, D.C. , took it. Look closely and you'll see The News Journal's "Yes, We Can" front page.
It's one of 50 on display at the Newseum's Pennsylvania Avenue entrance.

And I tell you what, you women raised with sisters are different than women raised with brothers. My sister is smart, runs every one of my campaigns; is beautiful; graduated with honors from college; is homecoming queen. But she's a . . . she is what I call a 'girl-boy' growing up, you know what I mean? And I tell you what? Girl-girls are tougher than girl-boys. But there's one important thing I noticed.The great thing about marrying into a family with five sisters, there's always one that loves you. 'Cause you can count on splitting them a bit. You know what I mean? I shouldn't be going off like this, but--hey, folks, 37 more hours, 37 more hours."--Joe Biden
Gee Billybob (what an appropriate name), sounds like sour grapes from a poor loser. We suffered for 8 long years under your dope, so be a man and get over it.
While you get under it
