Lewandowski Drops NH Senate Bid. You say you didn’t even know he was running? Well, he’s not. Anymore, that is… Protesters Swarm US Embassy In Iraq. Can you imagine if this had happened on Hillary Clinton’s watch as Secretary of State? The investigations would have already started. Anyway, this is what happens when you don’t […]
Announcing The 2019 MVP’s (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause)!
OK, I had 11, and all are worthy. At Kevin Ohlandt’s suggestion, I also looked at Amy Roe and Sara Bucic. Their contribution has been tremendous, but they should have been on last year’s list. Mea culpa. Here we go: 10 (tie). Delaware Democratic Party/Kerri Harris. The two are intertwined. Erik Raser-Schramm and Jesse Chadderdon […]

How Corporate Lobbyists Won The Day On Trump’s Tax Cuts. It wasn’t just the bill itself, it’s how they hijacked the rules-making process. Bottom line?: Virtually none of the projected $150 billion in new corporate taxes will ever be collected. The Meeting Where Trump Became The Religious Right’s Savior. Don’t know how I missed this […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE: #’s 40-21!
40. (2016) The other song that may, or may not, have made the list if not for the video. I’m more certain about this one, though: 39. (2016) 38. (2016) My youngest daughter turned me on to this Oregon-based band. They put on a great concert. And this song is an anthem: 37. (2014) 36. […]

Employers Stop At Nothing To Destroy Unions. Including scores of illegal activities. The key findings: The data show that U.S. employers are willing to use a wide range of legal and illegal tactics to frustrate the rights of workers to form unions and collectively bargain. Employers are charged with violating federal law in 41.5% of […]

Federal Reserve: Trump’s Trade War Backfired. When you think about it, that’s a dog-bites-man story if ever there was one. Some Cracks In The White Evangelical Community? Yes, question is, will the movement grow? Worth reading. Still a drop in the bucket, though… ‘Freaking Evil’. The war criminal pardoned by, and now campaigning with, Trump, […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE: #’s 60-41!
I’m having a ball doing this. Self-indulgent? Yes. But I just KNOW that you’re hearing some great tunes that you maybe never would have heard otherwise. Which has been my goal all along. 60. (2019) 59. (2015) ‘Jesus hates your high school dances.’ 58. (2017) Curtis Mayfield is on my Musical Mt. Rushmore. Sampha samples […]

No Room At The Library For The Homeless. When the defacto mayor of Wilmington is Buccini/Pollin, you know, the powerful overlords who steal money designated for low-income housing to build high-rise condos for the wealthy instead, this policy makes perfect sense. The Toxic Tandem of Mayor Mike and BPG continues to be perhaps the most […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE: #’s 80-61!
There are two songs on the list that may, or may not, have made it were it not for the videos. This is one of them: 80. (2016) 79. (2018) 78. (2015) 77. (2011) 76. (2018) Maybe the only (still a) teen on my list. I almost had two songs from her on the list. […]
The Dumbest Thing I Wrote All Year
I was going back through the archives while working on my MVP Awards. Meaning, I went back to January and looked at pretty much every post that had relevance to Delaware. I have been accused, and fairly I might add, of being at least a skeptic and often a cynic. However, as you will see, […]

Cybercom Poised To Attack Russian Election Interference. Will King Cheeto put the kibosh on it? Trump Getting Ripped Off…By Grifters. They’re using his name to raise money that’s not going to his coffers. Quel horreur. They mustn’t be aware of the ‘Only One Grifter At A Time’ rule… Will Murkowski Challenge McConnell On Impeachment? If […]
Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE 100-81!
Man, what a challenge it was to put this list together. It took me months. I’ll definitely be doing this in Spotify format a little later. I had lots of input from my family, and their influence is shot through the list–at least where I agreed with them. 2010 to 2019 is a lot of […]
