Kathy McGuiness would like you to know that she audited something.  #Auditorizing I haven't followed this Wesley/Del State thing, but I did learn that this is the first time a HBCU acquired another higher education institution. That's something.  I also learned that the new acquisition is going to be trimmed back to health oriented programs and called "Wesley College of Health & Behavioral Sciences".   #coolnames A total of 286 restaurants in Delaware are going to receive nearly $68 million in grants. Restaurants were hit hard last year so this that I say "GREAT!" but also say, "Now pay your people a living wage".   #tippedminisbullshit In BLASIUS INDUSTRIES, INC., v. ATLAS CORPORATION, (1988) Delaware Chancery created the legal doctrine shortened to Blasius.  It states that directors who act with the primary purpose of interfering with a stockholder vote must have a compelling justification for their conduct.  I had to look that up because this (Blasius Is Alive and Well in Delaware) is the best headline related to the Elon Musk testimony happening in Wilmington. #youvebeenmusked Rather, that was the best headline until the guy vomitted. #updates Paul Baumbach finds that humanity and decency is a tough sell in Leg Bargain Basement.  Maybe if the terminally ill scraped together enough money to engage some scumbag lobbyist? #Brydisdisgusting. But first... You don't have to wear a mask, wash you hands, cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, or basically be a decent human anymore.  #butwhynottryitforonce

A bunch of rats are now pretending that they were the secretly opposing Trump from within the West Wing.  How are they doing it?  By testifying?  By bringing charges?  No, by feeding gossipy shit to Michael Wolff and Bob Woodward. #heros Representative Adam Kinzinger may be the most decent Republican elected official in America. His politics are probably garbage, but it doesn't take a lot of integrity to stand out in the integrity wasteland that is the modern day GOP. Some federal money to redress the 1957 rape of Wilmington? #coldcasefiles Texas House Democrats have more guts than most of our gutless Beltway Bubble Dems. The DC elite Dems have the Presidency, Senate and House but are powerless. The Texas Dems got fuck all except for a willingness to fight.
