Song of the Day 9/30: “Flipper” Theme
Former Republican poll watcher Scott Hall pled guilty to five criminal counts and must testify against co-defendants, notably former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, his contact in the plot. He’s the first of 19 defendants in the case to flip. I’m guessing he won’t be the last. For those too young to remember it, “Flipper” was […]
Meanwhile, in New Jersey…
Indicted Sen. “Gold Bar Bob” Menendez refuses to resign, but nobody expects him to survive a primary for his seat. Yet so far only one office-holder, U.S. Rep. Andy Kim, has stepped forward to announce a challenge to the scandal-plagued incumbent. As this story recounts, it’s not for lack of people who want a higher […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023
“Dianne Feinstein Dies. Staff Insists She Can Still Carry Out Her Senatorial Duties.”-Fake headline dedicated to Jason. Kevin McCarthy Could Earn A Profile In Courage. Yes, it would cost him his worthless Speakership, but could remove some tarnish from what remains of his reputation: “I hope the speaker snaps out of the vise grip he’s […]
Thank You, Jason.
Jason, you are a true friend. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without you and without Delaware Liberal. You took me in as a stray immediately after Val Longhurst put an abrupt end to my 20-plus years as a legislative staffer. I can’t tell you how depressed I was at the time. […]
Reflecting on 18 years of DL & Thanks
Well, it looks like I picked a heck of a day to hang it up, but this is it for me. My last post. 18 years is a long time, so I have some people to thank. For everyone I name I’m going to forget tons of people, so just know that if you’ve been […]
Song of the Day 9/29: Fitz and the Tantrums, “MoneyGrabber”
Bethany Hall-Long’s intended coronation as Delaware’s next governor has hit a major snag. Seems like her rivals’ campaign signs might not be the only thing her sleazeball husband/campaign treasurer has gotten his hands on, as the campaign is undergoing an outside audit. Meanwhile, she has demonstrated why she’s not to be trusted in Woodburn by […]
DL Open Thread Friday, Sept. 29, 2023
Considering the pointlessness of the entire spectacle – all the challengers combined don’t reach Trump’s share of the Republican voters – the media sure is spilling a lot of pixels talking about the GOP gabfest. I’m not linking to any of it because I don’t want to encourage them. Besides, only 9.3 million people tuned […]
Trouble In Camp BHL?
Does this story have legs and, if so, what the bleep is going on?: Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long, who is running for Delaware governor in 2024, announced Thursday evening that she is conducting an audit of her past campaign finance reports after possible issues have come to light. Hall-Long said in a written statement this […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, September 28, 2023
Is Vivek Ramaswamy the first AI candidate? There’s something alarmingly unnatural about him. No real person talks like that. That, and ‘What a buncha morans’ are my only thoughts about last night’s shit-show. The Looming Shutdown. Essential: House staffers working on Biden impeachment. Non-essential: FEMA disaster relief: House Oversight Chairman James Comer said a potential […]
Song of the Day 9/28: Alana Springsteen, “twenty something”
Bruce Springsteen has cancelled all his remaining 2023 concert dates as he combats peptic ulcer disease, demonstrating that the Democratic Party isn’t the only institution plagued by decrepitude. The rockers of the ’60s and ’70s who didn’t have the career-boosting foresight to die at 27 are at an age where they’re more likely to expire […]
DL Open Thread Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023
Trump’s business empire is in legal jeopardy over his constant lying, but lying is all he knows how to do, so he’s still at it. He gave a speech to a bunch of non-union auto workers and scabs last night but had a bunch of them carry UAW signs. But Philip Bump of the Washington […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #3-RD 14
I’m not even sure how contested this race will be. But the prospect of Marty Rendon replacing Former Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf in RD 14 excites me no end. I grant you–some of my affinity stems from the fact that Rendon and I are the same age. We both cut our teeth on, wait for it, […]
