Song Of The Day: May 27, 2018
It would have been musical malpractice to not include Robert Johnson amongst this week’s celebration of the best of the blues. I try NOT to commit musical malpractice:
Coons Picks On Someone His Own Size
Sen. Chris Coons put his foot down yesterday, writing a letter to Chuck Grassley expressing — I hope you’re sitting down — deep concern that Donald Trump Jr. might have lied to Congress. “I am writing to you because I am deeply concerned that, based on new information we learned this week, Donald Trump Jr. […]
A Kickstarter/Gofundme-style crowdfunding site to fund Trump’s Border Wall
Typically GOP members of congress take care of the managerial side of the grift, and allow the day to day fleecing of stupid conservatives go to some outsourced operation like the NRA, or the American Family Association, or any one of a million “non-profits” set up to steal money from rubes.
With this Kickstarter/Gofundme type deal to take money from conservative dummies, GOP members of congress look to be getting into the retail side of the scam.
Delaware Political Weekly: May 18-24, 2018
Well, not quite weekly. Just wasn’t enough stuff to justify a post last week. 1. Could Two Of Delaware’s Best Legislators Choose Not To Run Again? Yes. And it’s scary.

Send back the Peace Prize
The “best summit ever!” has been cancelled, because North Korea’s Kim Jong Un decided that the “Libya Model” of negotiating with America (wherein you give up your weapons and are left with some flimsy promises of friendship until you are killed), didn’t jibe with his vision for North Korea.
May 23 Open Thread: NCCo Tax Hike Dies in Fiery Collision With Reality
New Castle County executive Matt Meyer claimed he was confident his proposed 15% tax increase would pass, which makes him 0 for 3 in his arithmetic: Everybody else thought 15% was too much to ask for, everybody else knew even-numbered years have elections in them (though not for his job) and last night county council […]
Look down ballot to help clean up the Democratic Party: Carter, Pusey, Durham poised to make an impact
Yesterday I wrote that voting in the upcoming September primary is the best way to change the Democratic Party for the better. The New Castle County Council primaries provide us an unprecedented opportunity to get involved and change the Democratic Party, the County, and America, for the better. We have three change makers running for […]
