General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 22, 2026
Oops, I missed something yesterday and, for the newbies, this will (very narrowly) expand your knowledge base. The House ran a Consent Agenda on Tuesday. A consent agenda consists of non-controversial and often inconsequential legislation. Several bills, in other words, to be approved by a single roll call. At the request of any legislator, an […]
Song of the Day 4/22: The Rainmakers, “Drinkin’ on the Job”
If Kash Patel didn’t want reporters to look into his drinking, maybe he shouldn’t have guzzled beer with the U.S. hockey team at the Olympics. It would have been a bad look anywhere outside Frat Row, but it made me long for the days when the FBI director had enough sense to not get photographed […]
DL Open Thread: Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Virginia Voters Approve Congressional Redistricting: Democrats maintained their electoral momentum on Tuesday by securing the passage of an aggressively gerrymandered House map in Virginia, which could deliver the party up to four extra seats as it tries to win back control of Congress. Democrats sought to focus the campaign on President Trump, who instigated the […]
New Poll – Who’s Next?
Lori Chavez-DeRemer walked the plank to pursue opportunities in the private sector, since critics made it difficult to run scams in the public sector any longer. So once again a DL longshot came in. Chavez-DeRemer was the DL voting public’s fourth choice. Tulsi Gabbard was the favorite, and given the shrinking number of women to […]
Song of the Day 4/21: Jim Sullivan, “U.F.O.”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona “X-Files” Case No. 158: Singer-songwriter Jim Sullivan made an unsuccessful album in 1969 called “U.F.O.” The subject had long fascinated him. Later, he walked into the desert in space alien-friendly New Mexico and was never heard from again. They never found the body, but they did find his Volkswagen bug, […]

Meyer’s Choice For Inspector General Looks Like A Home Run Pick: Gov. Matt Meyer nominates Robert Storch to be Delaware’s first Inspector General. Storch has been the IG of federal agencies like the National Security Agency and the Department of Defense, appointed to those positions by former Presidents Obama and Biden respectively. Storch remained in […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 21, 2026
One of this session’s key bills highlights today’s House Agenda. HB 400 (Harris) increases business licensing fees assessed by the Department of State. In other words, modest increases for LLC’s and corporations who choose to make Delaware their official home. We’re not talking about mom-and-pop businesses, and we’re mostly not talking about business entities who […]
Song of the Day 4/20: Tom Petty, “You Don’t Know How It Feels”
Today is the first 4/20 when recreational cannabis is legal in Delaware, and I’m gonna say I told you so: It’s been far from the financial windfall for the state that a lot of people were anticipating. WHYY checked the figures last month and they’re far short of expectations. The bottom line for now is […]
DL Open Thread: Monday, April 20, 2026
Looks Like Debbie Hudson Capano Screwed Yorklyn Real Good. A small northern Delaware community is looking to stop a luxury townhome development through any means necessary — including a lawsuit. Yorklyn residents for years have opposed developments on former industrial land in the Auburn Valley redevelopment district, which did not go through the county’s land […]
Song of the Day 4/19: Generation X, “Kiss Me Deadly”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2026 has a distinctly British flavor. The only Americans inducted are Queen Latifah, the Wu-Tang Clan and Luther Vandross. Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Oasis, Sade and Joy Division/New Order are all British acts. A lot of people would say it’s about time, because Brits […]

The Most Replaceable BY AI? Corporate Bosses: In March, The Wall Street Journal’s Meghan Bobrowsky broke the news that Mark Zuckerberg was “building a CEO agent to help him do his job.” The purpose of AI Zuck was to help flesh-and-blood Zuck “get information faster—for instance, by retrieving answers for him that he would typically […]
DL Open Thread Saturday, April 18, 2026
Whoopee! Trump says the Strait of Iran (sic) is open again! And you can believe what Trump says, right? Especially on Friday afternoons. Tell ya what, though, you go through first. No links because at publication time nobody actually has any clear idea of what’s going on. It seems Secretary of Belligerence Pete Hegseth isn’t […]
Song of the Day 4/17: Little Millie Small, “My Boy Lollipop”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona Before there was Bob Marley, there was Little Millie Small. Little Millie had the very first Jamaican hit in America with a 1964 ska song called “My Boy Lollipop.” It was a snappy tune you could dance to, heavy on the island backbeat but spun from American R&B like other […]
