While expected, it reminds us that there is no break from Trump’s perfidy: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/07/us/politics/jeff-sessions-fired-trump.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage

Is John Carney Sending Prisoners Out-Of State Under The Cloak Of Election Darkness?

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 7, 2018 17 Comments

There’s word on the street that he’s trying to do this. Not for the first time. Last time he tried, Rep. J. J. Johnson called him on it and got him to stop. J. J.’s not there anymore. Everybody is paying attention to the election. Carney has no clue as to how to solve the […]

Day-After Thoughts: Everything I’m Thinking About The Delaware Results

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 7, 2018 19 Comments

1. The Year Of The Woman: I should say the first of many years of the woman.  Kathy Jennings, Colleen Davis, Laura Sturgeon, Krista Griffith, Dee Durham, Tizzy Lockman, Melissa Minor-Brown, Kendra Johnson. All first-time candidates, except for Dee Durham, who ran in a D primary for SD 4 over a decade ago.  And those […]

A soul adrenaline rush for Election Day. Can you believe that this song was the flip side? The A side was ‘Bernadette’, but still, this absolutely kicks ass. Hey, I got a feelin’:

Greg Lavelle: A Cheater Until The Bitter End

Greg Lavelle just sent out a ‘news’ letter. There’s no news. There’s no disclaimer as to who paid for it, other than that the taxpayers didn’t pay for the mailing. Which wasn’t a mailing, but an e-mailing. The day before the election. I suspect, however, that the taxpayers are funding the person(s) who put this […]

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: October 2018

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, Featured by on November 5, 2018 2 Comments

Probably the last full month of great tunes as releases dwindle near year’s end. Some high quality stuff. Too much to take in all at once. Presented in alpha (by artist) fashion by your favorite Alpha Male (I wish):

Democratic Legislative Leaders Disgrace Themselves

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 3, 2018 14 Comments

This calls for my second Casey Stengel quote in less than a week: The secret to being a successful manager is to keep the players who can’t stand you away from those who haven’t made up their minds yet. Scott Goss has a fascinating story which, unfortunately, he has butchered again. More on that in […]

Nov. 3 Open Thread: A Capitol Idea

Filed in Featured by on November 3, 2018 6 Comments

Yes, it looks like the D’s are poised to take the House of Reps. No, it doesn’t look like the D’s are gonna take over the Senate. But the largely under-the-radar story this year is what’s going on in the gubernatorial races. D’s are already looking at pick-ups in key states, with several races too […]

Heard this great soul classic on the way home from work yesterday. BTW, if you want to know why white boys should be discouraged from covering these songs, check out the Rolling Stones’ version which, out of empathy for my listeners, I will not post here:

Here’s What Mike Ramone Did: Philly Daily News Covers The Scandal the News-Journal Wouldn’t

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 1, 2018 13 Comments

It’s sleazy, it’s a blatant conflict-of-interest,  and it includes a couple of pals of, wait for it, the ethically-challenged Joe Biden. Maybe that’s why the News-Journal wouldn’t cover it. Failure to cover this story is journalistic malpractice, which makes it all the more ironic that an alleged ‘reporter’ criticized this blog for covering it. Anyway, […]
