Outrage in Milford (Update: The Signs are coming down)

I saw this picture on Facebook, from a liberal friend downstate, who was sharing it via an original posting of the very nonliberal Dan Gaffney. It is nice to know that the outrage concerning this photo is bipartisan. And what is so outrageous about it, you ask?

Well, you can read what it says in English. In Spanish it says “You have to have a permit to play here or you will be arrested.”

So if you are a white English speaking “American,” you can play here at your own risk so long as you have a parent or guardian watching. If you are brown, if you dare play here without a permit we will arrest your immigrant ass. That is the fucking height of racism, and I will see to it that who ever is responsible for this sign will have their public careers ended immediately.

Personal To Feckless Joe: Can’t you just shut up for one more week?  Or, you know, maybe stop sending more weapons to Israel? Or both? A Garbage Truck Named Trump.  Doubling down on the notion that lots of Americans are garbage while sitting in a garbage truck with ‘TRUMP’ emblazoned on it strikes me as […]

1.  Meaningless Endorsements.  We’re in Captain Obvious territory here:  Any endorsements that take place after a primary has been resolved are meaningless.  Or, in some cases, pathetic.  Or perhaps you missed the e-mail that John Carney has now endorsed Sarah McBride.  Yo, John, you endorsed Eugene Young.  Everybody knows that you and Sarah get along […]

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on December 31, 2023 0 Comments

As usual, the ‘Good List’ is much smaller than the other two.  I can not so humbly state that this is the only list you’ll need to sum up Delaware in 2023.  It’s long, but well worth your time, replete with generous links to the stories: THE GOOD: Jan. 18: Gov. Carney proposes a 9% […]

Tomorrow’s Special Election In RD 37: An Uninformed View From Upstate

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on December 20, 2023 3 Comments

My uninformed view. While R’s have traditionally done better in special elections than D’s, it’s pretty clear that the Democratic Party has the better ground game this time.  Massive phone banks and grassroots activity.  Special elections often are more about the parties than the candidates, and that could well be the case here.  I honestly […]

Northern Idaho: The Home Of Christian Nationalism?  I’m jiggy wid it. They can have northern Idaho: North Idaho has long been known for its hyperlibertarians, apocalyptic “preppers” and white supremacist groups who have retreated to the region’s sweeping frozen lakes and wild forests to await the collapse of American society, when they’ll assert control over […]

Song of the Day 2/23: The Business, “Drinking and Driving”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, Delaware by on February 23, 2023 0 Comments

Would-be politician Scott Walker, the guy who runs for office by setting up home-painted campaign signs along Delaware roads, has never come close to being elected, but his odd behavior makes it obvious that isn’t his goal. Like the guy who fell into a lens grinding machine, he’s making a spectacle of himself. He’s in […]
