OK, General Assembly. It’s Time.
I think most Delawareans have remained largely unconcerned about the ongoing closure of the General Assembly. Safety first. However, the challenges facing the state that will need to be addressed by the General Assembly now face the normal June 30 deadline. Sure, it’s possible that the General Assembly can meet post-July 1, especially since it’s […]

Carney Partially Reopens Some Delaware Businesses. In general, it’s a cautious approach and, I think, a prudent one. Although I do question why we’re removing any restrictions in Sussex County as it remains a COVID-19 hot spot. US Corporations Dump Employees While Rewarding Stockholders With Dividends. Including WWE and its avaricious boss, Vince McMahon. Kushner’s […]

Ted DiBiase: Million Dollar Man/Wrestler/Minister/Scam Artist. Religion and rasslin’ are two of the greatest scams goin’ today. Both have seen better days, especially religion.

Trump Fires Author Of Report Critical Of The Federal Pandemic Response. You won’t inspect/If you don’t genuflect. Oklahoma Yahoos Defy Order To Wear Masks.

‘Investigate Tara Reade’s Allegations’: I agree. Just do it. And quickly. Biden could have made it a lot easier by being responsive and supportive of a check into his document trove at UD for references to Reade, but he either played the clueless geezer card or was a clueless geezer. If he was playing the […]

RWNJ’s Take Over Michigan State Capitol. They even protest at the end of Whitmer’s driveway. This is what Trump hath wrought, and this is precisely what Delaware’s Rethug state reps are feeding into. All are utterly useless. States Made It Harder To Get Benefits. Now Workers Are Totally Screwed. A must-read. These charts are easy […]
Rethug Reps Call On Carney To ‘Restart Our Economy Now’
All 15 of ’em. I counted. They sent a letter to the Governor (presumably they didn’t collaborate on the letter in person) claiming that somehow the shutdown is causing more health problems. Because, well let me quote from the letter: “The heightened anxiety created by the loss of jobs and incomes will inevitably lead to […]

‘I’m Not Fucking Losing To Joe Biden’. Thus said an incredulous Trump before lambasting his campaign team for his sinking poll numbers. The numbers have placed The Very Stable Genius in an even fouler mood than usual. Which leads me to… “It’s Gonna Go, It’s Gonna Leave”. Your commander-in-chief: BTW, he said that yesterday. Florida […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: April 2020
About as rich and diverse a month for new music that you could ever hope for. Might as well start with music from the Album Most Likely To Top Most Critics’ Polls, at least based on the initial reviews. Her lyrics are as good as any I’ve ever heard in rock/folk/roots/whatever music. The music can […]

Everything Falls Apart, Ctd. Global. US. US passes two deadly milestones: Over 1 million cases, and more deaths than in the entirety of the Vietnam War. That’s more deaths than the 19-year Vietnam War, accomplished in 100 days. Tennessee Reopens On Day Of Single Largest COVID-19 Spike. I wonder if Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, a […]
BREAKING: Trump Channels His ‘Inner Sam Wilson’
He reportedly will sign an Executive Order requiring meatpacking plants to remain open, and providing, wait for it, protection to the plants from liability. He will not, of course, be granting immunity to those who work in the plants, their families, and all those with whom they come in contact. They’re just collateral damage. Hey, […]
Sussex County Councilman Says It Out Loud: Processing Chickens Is More Important Than Workers’ Lives
Western Sussex County troglodyte Sam Wilson: “Where did the governor get the bright idea to … test the poultry workers?” Wilson asked during council’s teleconference meeting on Tuesday. “They’re losing millions of dollars because of this dumb idea.” Wait, there’s more: “What’s going to happen to the poultry plants? They’re gonna have to shut down,” […]
