Kaia Kater is a wonderful all-purpose musical threat: singer, songwriter and banjo-picker deluxe. She’s coming to the Arden Gild Hall on Sat., Nov. 3. While I’m not producing the show, I’m psyched to see her. Here are a couple of her songs, including a brand-new one:
BREAKING: Tom Wagner Appoints Candidate James Spadola To Take Over For His Sorry Ass!
This is a true story. After getting rid of a real auditor who ran the office during his lengthy absences from the job, outgoing State Auditor Tom Wagner has appointed a pretend auditor, James ‘Hug Me, I Used To Be A Cop’ Spadola, as Deputy Auditor. He will in fact be the Acting Auditor b/c […]
Simpler & Lavelle: Cheaters: Part Deux
Yes, what Greg Lavelle did is clearly illegal. In fact, he voted on the bill that specifically made it illegal back in 2012. WHYY provides journalistic context to the News-Journal stenography.

Another Sleeper Race For Y’All
My skepticism notwithstanding, people in the field on both sides of the aisle tell me that Krista Griffith has a legitimate shot at taking down Deborah Hudson in RD 12. Why have I been skeptical? The numbers, mostly. 7168 D; 7313 R; and 5336 I. The only NCC Rep. District with an R plurality. Hey, […]
We COULD Have A Progressive-ish AG In Kathy Jennings
No, not someone who would implement the visionary proposals of Chris Johnson. However, Kathy Jennings adopted (appropriated?) many of Chris’ ideas and, unlike Tom Carper, who we know doesn’t support a $15 minimum wage or drug reimporation despite lying about that during his debate with Kerri Harris, Jennings doesn’t have a history that suggests she’s […]
