Day-After Thoughts: Everything I’m Thinking About The Delaware Results
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 […]
Song Of The Day: Nov. 6, 2018
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
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):
Song Of The Day: Nov. 5, 2018
“Wanted, young men single and free. Experience in love preferred, but will accept a young trainee”:
Democratic Legislative Leaders Disgrace Themselves
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
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 […]
Song Of The Day: Nov. 3, 2018
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
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, […]
Song Of The Day: Nov. 1, 2018
Leyla McCalla’s coming to the Arden Gild Hall on Sat., Jan. 12, 2019. Here’s the title track of her new album. Recorded in N’Awlins, as if you couldn’t tell: Hey, if you buy tix to the show, just go to the bar, tell ’em that El Somnambulo sent you, and your first libation will be […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: Part 2
There will be some sort of a blue wave in Delaware. Only question is: How much of a Blue Wave? I don’t know. But I feel real good about my predictions, which factor in a bit of a blue wave, but not a blue tsunami. I think there will be a blue wave largely b/c […]
