Privileged Princeton Preppy Poisoned Pledges…And Skated
Said privileged preppy is one Ken Simpler. Our State Treasurer. In light of L’Affaires Kavanaugh, I decided to take a second look at what Simpler himself called a ‘brush with the law’. Here’s what I found (it even made the New York Times): Saying he would not treat the case ”as an undergraduate frolic that […]
Meet Your New State Legislators
I know, I know, election’s not until November. However, there were several contested primaries, and the winners of many of those primaries face no opposition in November. So, they’ll be on the payroll the day after the election. Let’s take a look at them, accompanied by my occasionally trenchant analysis: Senate District 2: Darius Brown […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: Sept., 2018: Volume Deux
More goodies: Don’t know how I missed this elegiac John Prine song from earlier this year. Missed no more: Lots to love, and some stuff that the hatas might hate. What do you like, and what do you, um, not like?

Too many intriguing songs for just one music dump this month. I’m gonna continue doing them in alphabetical order by artist’s name.

Proof that ‘good’ and ‘hot’ aren’t mutually exclusive. I always thought they were hot. And good:
Yet Another Charter School Closes Abruptly
This time, the Delaware Academy Of Public Safety And Security. You know, a school allegedly designed to prepare “…students for careers as first responders, such as law enforcement, firefighters and EMTs.” Over $500K in debt and disastrous educational results. Which, come to think of it, is what you’d expect from a school preparing students for […]
Dear Rethug Senators…This Is All It Would Take
First, spare me the histrionics of the ‘on-the-fence’ senators agonizing over your Kavanaugh votes. It’s real simple, here’s all you have to do, and you’ve put the ball where it belongs: Announce that you can’t vote for Kavanaugh until/unless there is an FBI background check. See? It ends your public agony, which we all see […]
Delaware’s Most Important Legislative Race Of 2018
I was tempted to call this the ‘only’ important race of 2018, but that’s probably an overstatement. However, the contest between incumbent Greg Lavelle and Laura Sturgeon has loads of implications beyond the boundaries of the 4th Senatorial District. It is not only a referendum on the Delaware Republican Party and one of its leading […]

Too infectious to ignore. BTW, while most white people covering soul suck at it (*cough* Linda Ronstadt/Heat Wave *cough), Graham Parker more than did justice to this one:
Looks Like Trump Is Gonna Fire Rosenstein Today
Rosenstein has been summoned to the White House where it’s expected that he will be asked to resign. Rosenstein will reportedly refuse, at which point Trump will likely fire him. Shit just got more real.
