Maybe We Should Call Him “President” Trump
I need to stop reading his Twitter feed.
Open Thread – NJ Editorial chides lawmakers on stupid antitax stance
The Delaware Democratic Party's "all tax increases are evil" stance is stupid on its face. John Carney is an idiot to begin his term by removing a discussion of common sense tax reform from the mix of possibilities, instead focusing 100% of his energies on cutting services.
We need to put something together to help push Rep. John Kowalko's common sense tax recommendations, it is nice to see the NJ waking up to that fact:
Help John Carney To Be the Best Democratic Governor He Can Be
$350 million. That's the projected budgetary hole that soon-to-be-installed Governor John Carney will face this year. There is more than a little irony in that. Just like Ruth Ann Minner…

I’m Out
It's been a fun ride, one that started with me just looking to learn more about this state that I had just moved to, but seemed so politically insular. I learned alot along the way, some history but especially how easy it was to push some local political buttons. Even better, I made alot of friends that I would not have otherwise, including people who wanted to talk about better integrity from governments that didn't seem interested in that. There's more of those folks than you might imagine -- in government and out -- and they've helped me to be able to provide sunshine on issues that just got whispered about. Some of those folks are commenters and most are lurkers and I want all of you to know that I still share your interests and will still be looking for smarter decisions and better accountability -- perhaps now on a broader playing field.

I know a guy who's got a lot to lose
A pretty nice fella, kinda confused
Got muscles in his head ain't never been used
Waiting for Governor Milquetoast
The headline on DelawareOnline read, "Carney to worried Dems: 'Keep doing the right thing' ". This in itself should have raised some red flags.
Approaching Insanity
As the Days of Light dwindle down to the Days of Darkness, President Obama’s anger translator, Luther, translates Obama final address. Enjoy this moment to laugh, it might be our last.
A couple of new blogs of note
I'm glad Cassandra, Delaware Dem, and Pandora have opened up a new front in the war on insanity with BlueDelaware.com. The problems facing this country, and this state, are much…
A Moment of Your Time
Since I went underground before Thanksgiving, I wasn’t even going to write this post, but three very close friends said I should. Last November my Dad became extremely ill. His…
Support Law Enforcement (…or else) – Open Thread
I get that cops have a tough job, but it is a tough job they signed up for. All this rah-rah around law enforcement is getting a little creepy, and…
Delaware’s Blockchain Initiative is a thing
Blockchain sounds substantial. Just by saying it, you know it is not some flimsy bullshit. It contains the words "chain" and "block" so it is some heavy duty shit.
Turns out, Delaware is way ahead of everyone in getting away from stupid old slow paper records for corporate legal and financial filings, and we are going to build on our lead in 2017.. apparently...You know...it's computers, what could possibly go worng?
