The Funk Brothers […]
What if – hear me out – voters don’t hate transgender people?
The main stream media LOVES the party of mean assholery, because mean assholery gets all the page views. Actual voters though… For three straight elections, the institutions of the mainstream press have covered Democratic campaigns and policymaking with the expectation and implication that the right’s messaging on cultural issues would largely succeed. And for […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday November 30 2022
I’m no lawyer but I think both Obergefell v. Hodges and Loving v. Virginia are still controlling. They have not been overturned by our corrupt right wing Supreme Court yet, so for the time being this legislation is provisional. US Senate passes bill protecting same-sex & Interracial marriage The US Senate has passed the Respect […]
Song of the Day 11/29: Jimmy Buffett, “Volcano”
Mauna Loa’s eruption brought to mind my son’s favorite Deep Thought by Jack Handy: “If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let ’em go, because man, they’re gone.” Jimmy Buffett was early in his musical transition from character to caricature when “Volcano” arrived as the title track to his 1979 […]

So, what, you may ask, happens at one of these bundling events? Let’s take a look at just one of them. This one held on behalf of arguably and verifiably the most consistently corrupt member of County Council. We’re talking Bill Bell. The guy who has collected fully 79% of his $$’s from developers.

DL Open Thread Tuesday November 29 2022
I’m glad I never published the triumphalist post on Delaware’s weed legalization I was going to put up just before Pete was reinstalled. It was full of embarrassing stuff like: When “growing your own” is legalized and cannabis as as regulated as tomatoes, Carney and Schwartzkopf will regret having tanked the restrictive “barely legal” version […]
How Much Did YOUR County Councilperson Sell Out For?
This handy chart tells the story: Developers Donations to Council Chart I want to thank our DL Research Assistant for all their help on this.

Song of the Day 11/28: The B-52s, “Rock Lobster”
Fox News is running out of things to freak out about. When Joe Biden put up the White House Christmas tree extra early, their “War on Christmas” standby failed, so they tried to bitch about him jumping the gun on Christmas. That fizzled, so now they’re mad about … Whole Foods deciding not to sell […]
Will Valerie George And Brandon Toole Sell Their Offices To The Developers Before They Take Office?
We will know by Wednesday. That’s when the developers’ go-to law firm is scheduled to hold a fundraiser for both of the newcomers.

Always a Delaware Connection
Court-appointed liquidators overseeing collapsed crypto exchange FTX’s assets in the Bahamas have agreed to transfer a related case they’d filed in New York to Delaware, where the company had already filed for bankruptcy protection.
While the embattled company FTX Trading Ltd. had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Nov. 11, the Bahamian liquidators later filed a Chapter 15 suit in the Southern District of New York for FTX Digital Markets, one of the companies under the broader FTX umbrella and the name of the entity located in The Bahamas. The liquidators at the time said FTX, which was headquartered in the Bahamas, was not allowed to file for bankruptcy in the U.S.
Before reaching an agreement on the transfer of the case, FTX filed a complaint seeking a court order to make the liquidators file their Chapter 15 case, which targets cross-border insolvency, in Delaware.
