The 2018 MVP (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause) Award Winners
With one exception, this list comprises those who I considered the most valuable to the progressive cause in Delaware this year. The one exception is a legislator who put together one of the finest careers I can recall. Let’s get started: 10. NNAMDI CHUKWUOHA: I had been screaming, screaming, for someone to challenge one of […]
The 2018 MVP Honor Roll
2018 was a year unlike any other, at least when it came to putting together my MVP list. So many first-time candidates, outstanding candidates, who came out of nowhere and changed both the present and future of progressive politics in Delaware. Best year ever? Yes, I’d say so. In the past, I’ve listed Honorable Mentions […]
Song Of The Day: Dec. 17, 2018
OK, most of you know that I generally can’t stand Christmas music. I’m putting up one of my few faves today. If you’ve got some special songs for the season, let me know, and you can be our guest programmer through Christmas. Until then:

Heard this on ‘XPN this morning. This, right here, is some damned sweet soul music:

You all know this wonderful song. The story behind this song, or more specifically, the man behind the song, is equally fascinating. From No Depression: Ric O’Barry, the founder and director of the Dolphin Project, was Neil’s best friend. O’Barry, with help from Neil and Stephen Stills, started the Dolphin Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated […]

Still a travelin’ troubadour some 40 years after he first released this song:

Best song ever about cricket? Since it’s the only one I know, it is for me:
Purzycki To Panhandlers: “Drop Dead!”
Let’s be honest: Mike Purzycki only represents people who come to Wilmington to build their already huge fortunes, but who don’t live here. People of substantial economic means who offend easily. People who apparently are offended by panhandlers. Not the circumstances that lead to the need to ask for money, but the people in such […]

Little Steven’s Underground Garage sent me here. From Sweden, with three chords:
With Friends Like These…
Another blatant example of different standards of ‘justice’ for different classes of people. Just look at all these luminaries rushing to provide character references for disgraced Wilmington Trust officer turned convicted felon Robert Harra, Jr.: A court filing Friday shows that those vouching for Harra include former Democratic Gov. Jack Markell, former Republican governor and […]
