Song of the Day 4/27: Yoon Suk-yeol, “American Pie”
Joe Biden hosted a state dinner at the White House and, I guess because guest of honor Yoon Suk-yeol is president of South Korea, he turned into karaoke night. After being told “American Pie” was Yoon’s favorite song when he was in school, Biden said, “Well, we want to hear you sing it.” Yoon obliged. […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, April 27, 2023
Montana Legislator Barred For Being Transgender. Merely one of several precursors-if good people don’t step forward: The Montana House of Representatives took the extraordinary step on Wednesday of blocking a transgender lawmaker from the House floor for the remainder of the legislative session after an escalating standoff over her remarks on transgender issues in House […]
Eugene Young to Primary Tom Carper – Rumor Watch
I think this one is wishful thinking. And yet, Carper is ripe to be taken out, so why not Young? Someone will step up and that someone will not be Lisa Blunt Rochester. h/t Nemski
Song of the Day 4/26: Harry Belafonte, “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)”
A 96-year lifetime of EGOT fame and anti-racist activism and what is Harry Belafonte best remembered for today? A calypso-flavored Jamaican work song he recorded nearly 70 years ago, because a snippet of it has survived into popular culture as a stadium chant. Belafonte trained as an actor but broke into stardom as a singer […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, April 26, 2023
Since not much happened yesterday, now’s a good time to ask the question that has been hanging over the General Assembly since January: Whither goeth Speaker Pete and the House Democratic Caucus? Fact: Schwartzkopf informed the House D Caucus during the leadership battle that he would (a) step down as Speaker at the end of […]

A surprising but welcome change of heart. DSSA Statement on “permit to purchase” Legislation On behalf of our membership, and after much soul searching and careful consideration the Delaware State Sportsman’s Association has decided to support the “permit to purchase” legislation currently being considered in the Delaware State Senate.

Song of the Day 4/25: Bobby Sherman, “Easy Come, Easy Go”
Tucker Carlson has joined Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly on the list of Fox News blowhards who angered and concerned liberals only to lose their soapbox when Ol’ Rupe pulled it out from under them. Any bets on who does better in the divorce? Bobby Sherman was a teen idol for about a year and […]
April is Membership Drive Month at DL – So Join The Working Families Party
All month we’ve been asking you, dear reader/commenter, to join DL and become a member by joining and/or donating to the Working Families Party or any of the other fine organizations you see in the poll.

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 25, 2023
First, let’s all pause and approve by acclamation a DL Superior Legislating Award for Rep. Ed Osienski. He never gave up, he consistently changed the legislation to attract votes, he worked to bring people on board, and he assembled a veto-proof majority that forced Gov. John Carney to admit defeat. Weed is legal in Delaware […]
DL Open Thread: Tuesday, April 25, 2023
Biden Running. Again. The D’s had better hope that Trump is his opponent. I mean, he’s really showing his age. His announcement is sure to galvanize the electorate. Sorry, that’s all I can muster. This depresses me. BTW, LBR has been named as a co-chair. That depresses me as well. Trump To Be Indicted In […]
Be on the look out for a very pouty climate change fraud who resembles a sad rugby ball someone placed a wig on
How angry is Legates that he isn’t the “featured speaker” at this thing? Pretty fucking angry I’d say. Ingrates! He gives and gives and this is what he gets? Bumped aside by Kellyanne Conway?!

Song of the Day 4/24: Old & In the Way, “Old and In the Way”
This one’s for Dianne Feinstein who, almost everyone agrees, is both old and in the way. Feinstein was on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors when those hippies Jerry Garcia and David Grisman put together their bluegrass supergroup in 1973 and named the project after this Grisman tune. They were not yet 30. Grisman is […]
