Song Of The Day: Nov. 29, 2018
This collaboration with the N’awlins ‘Indian’ tribe, The Wild Tchoupitoulas, helped convince Neville Brothers to become a band on their own. This is the America that I love:
A Half-Good/Half Bad Idea From NCC
Karen Hartley-Nagle’s absence from last night’s County Council meeting reminded me that I wanted to talk about this. I’ve come around to agreeing with Councilman Smiley that the members of County Council should elect their own Council president. Not just because we’ve had some horrible Council presidents, including the current embarrassment. But also b/c, as […]
Let’s Talk Delaware Governor’s Race For 2020, Shall We?
I’ve been thinking about this race. A lot. So many questions. Let’s ask (and try to answer) a few: Will John Carney run for reelection? On one hand, he seems totally bored with being Governor.

If Thanksgiving wasn’t called Thanksgiving, it’d likely be called Homecoming. Which is what I love about the holiday. People come home. This song from my 2015 best-of could be the theme song:
Open Thread For Nov. 21, 2018: Whitaker’s Secret Cabal
How Matthew Whitaker Rose To Prominence. Featuring, of course, a phony charity that appears to have been created exclusively to serve as a vehicle to bring this mediocrity to power. Part of the Rethuglican Criminal Conspiracy that’s running the country. Who’s behind it? Sorry. Citizen’s United keeps it secret. I Think Seth Moulton’s Serving His […]

They’ve been to the Gild Hall. Twice. Tim Showalter has become a favorite son. This was from my 2014 best-of list:
BREAKING: Trump Tried To Get DOJ To Prosecute Clinton And Comey
His own White House lawyer, Don McGahn, warned him that such behavior could be impeachable. From the NYTimes: The lawyer, Donald F. McGahn II, rebuffed the president, saying that he had no authority to order a prosecution. Mr. McGahn said that while he could request an investigation, that too could prompt accusations of abuse of […]
