Progressive Touchstones.
Ask any politically astute person in Delaware who are the more notable Progressives in the state, and I am sure they will answer Rebecca Young and John Kowalko. So just in case you think this party chair election tomorrow is really all about Progressives v. the Party Establishment, be aware that Rebecca has endorsed Daniello […]
Read all the way to the end….
I am going to the convention tomorrow, not as a delegate, but as press. And it is just as well, because I can’t decide between Daniello and McGlinchey. There are things I like about both and things I don’t like about both. But since we are all passing on the endorsement letters we receive, here […]
Around the Horn Friday: Evening Edition
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Down With Absolutes Harrington Raceway CEO Patti Key lied to the General Assembly. The wingnuttey WGMD rails against equality, or as it is known legislatively, HB5. Liveblogging the HB 5 Senate Executive Committee Hearing. Mike tells a Representative that he loves low voter turnout and thus opposes HB 117. But he does […]
Shorter version: Waaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Republican presidents tend to create a more target-rich environment, not just for liberals but (I think) for everybody. Mostly, though, it’s because Republicans out of power go out of their way to make life unpleasant for the rest of us. When Democrats lose, they’re pathetic. When Republicans lose, they’re bitter and mean.
DL Coffee Caucus Meeting Tomorrow

“Is this wrong? Because I wouldn’t have done it if I was told it was”
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Two seasonal Yellowstone National Park concession workers have been fired after a live webcam caught them urinating into the Old Faithful geyser. Park spokesman Al Nash says a 23-year-old man on Tuesday was fined $750 and placed on three years of unsupervised probation for urinating, being off trail in a restricted area […]
Deep Electioneering Thought II
I can’t believe some Delaware Democrats are going to vote for a guy who started a third party in order to try and defeat Mike Barbieri.
Quote of the Day
Now we are seeing the credit card banks — one of Delaware’s most important industries — pleading poor mouth and dire financial straits if Congress put a cap on the top interest rates they charge customers. And in typical Delaware Way special interest response, Sens. Tom Carper and Ted Kaufman voted against the idea. [snip] […]
“This Session of New Castle County Council Has Been Bought and Paid For By…”
Just when you think the ethically-challenged members of New Castle County Council can’t look worse than they already do, they prove that you thought wrong. According to Associated Press, WPVI-TV, and WDEL (anyone missing there?), New Castle County has voted to allow paid advertising on the Council website. The story is sketchy. ‘Bulo tried in […]
I Will Hold My Nose and Vote for Daniello
I have a distinct lack of enthusiasm for both candidates for leadership of the Delaware Democratic party. However, I am going to vote for John Daniello. The party has had great success under Daniello, with Democrats now controlling the governorship, the state House and Senate and every major elected position. He has been able to […]
Donviti Interview Tip #83
Prior to an interview eliminate your uni-brow as well as nose and ear hair.
What Tom Carper Does Not Get
He does not get that being the Bank’s cabana boy is hurting the economy.
Not Just Words
I have been playing tourist this week with my brother, visiting me from Tennessee. One of the places we visited was Independence Hall, the birthplace of American democracy. As the park ranger told the story about the making of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, he highlighted how radical the documents were for their […]
