Bill Barr: Serial Cover-Up Artist
People who profess to be shocked at the blatant cover-up that Barr is currently orchestrating haven’t paid attention to his history. Here’s why they shouldn’t be so shocked: Barr’s Playbook: He Misled Congress When Omitting Parts of Justice Dep’t Memo in 1989 Got that? : On Friday the thirteenth October 1989, by happenstance the same […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., April 16, 2019
It’s a new week. I’m feeling charitable. How about–a shout-out? Not just a shout out, but a shout-out to President Pro-Tempore Dave McBride. I just love the fact that he posts the scheduled agendas for the entire week well in advance of Tuesday’s session. Sometimes, the bills don’t get worked b/c perhaps they don’t make […]
Wishing Well To Those Impacted By Last Night’s Storms
Looks like it was a horrible late night/early morning for those in western Sussex County. From the Delmarva firefighters blog: Crews from Laurel Fire Dept., Blades Volunteer Fire Company, Seaford Volunteer Fire Department, Inc., Bridgeville Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., Greenwood Volunteer Fire Company, Delmar Fire Department, Gumboro Volunteer Fire Company, Georgetown Fire Company and Sussex […]
“Break The Law, And I’ll Pardon You.”
That’s what Donald Trump reportedly said to his anointed acting Secretary of Homeland Security: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-said-he-would-pardon-border-agents-who-broke-law-by-denying-asylum-seekers-cnn-says_n_5cb0ea15e4b0ffefe3b05edc This President and the denizens of his administration no longer even attempt to hide their blatant lawlessness. Why bother when your AG is in the bag for Big Orange? If he wins reelection, all is lost. If it’s not already.
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., April 11, 2019
The gun bills have been introduced. Supporters and opponents have mobilized. Just remember: Pretty much every mouthbreather who opposes these bills has nothing better to do than to drag their butts to Dover. About 200 of ’em. Over and over again. In poll after poll, support for reform measures is overwhelming. Here’s Matt Bittle’s […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 10, 2019
Finally! Some meat on dem bones. Randall Chase reports that the D’s are gonna go all-in on some serious gun control legislation: In addition to resurrecting proposed bans on certain firearms and ammunition magazines, Democrats also are proposing a new bill requiring anyone who wants to buy a gun in Delaware to obtain permission in […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., April 9, 2019
Why did the General Assembly take last week off? According to one former staffer, the reason is b/c the last time the Honorables spent five consecutive weeks in session, they all wanted to kill each other. They took the week off b/c presumably absence makes the heart less hostile. I’m speaking, of course, about those […]
MY Kind Of Justifiable Homicide
Not to mention, there will be no intervention by the courts in this case: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/poacher-killed-by-elephant-kruger-national-park_n_5ca9f80be4b0a00f6d4118b8
The Republican Party Is An Ongoing Criminal Conspiracy: An Open Thread
It’s so obvious, yet, predictably, it is so rarely discussed, if at all. But on matters both macro and micro, the Party could be indicted under the RICO statutes, if said statutes applied to political parties. The purpose of this criminal conspiracy?: To retain power, even if it requires the destruction of democratic norms. No, […]

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: March, 2019
If you’re seeking musical diversity, this is the month for you. We’ve got pretty much everything but death metal and show tunes. Presented, as almost always, in alphabetical order by artist’s name: The ‘John Wayne’ reference is to the airport in Orange County, CA (formerly the home of the John Birch Society): On the […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., March 28, 2019
A ‘Just the facts, Ma’am’ edition due to time constraints and a few glitches in the legislative information system. (Memo to Legislative Council: You might want to take LIS for a test drive. It’s been a little temperamental lately. Nothing serious, though.) Don’t worry, ‘Teh Snark’ will return as warranted. The Senate unanimously passed legislation […]
