Delaware Political Weekly: July 6-12, 2018
1. Best Week Ever For Kerri Harris Campaign. Finally, the battle is joined. Tom Carper has a record that is indefensible to real Democrats. We’ve chronicled that record here for years now. It’s all over the DL blog this week. You’ve probably read much of it. Kerri Harris was not going to have a chance […]
July 12 Open Thread: Pizza For Perverts
I was gonna lead off with the news that Tom Carper has finally been engaged on the issue of his terrible record. But I can’t emphasize it enough. Hey, read the article twice. (Hmmm, guess I did lead off with Carper’s terrible record.) Alby’s fave pizza slinger steps in it again. ‘Resigns’ from Papa John’s. […]
Song Of The Day: July 12, 2018
Pretty sure that’s Nick Lowe on bass guitar. And Dave Edmunds might be up there as well. Pub rockin’ at its best:
July 11 Open Thread: Everything Falls Apart
Trump trashes Germany and NATO in his opening salvo at the NATO summit in Brussels: “Germany, as far as I’m concerned, is captive to Russia because it’s getting so much of its energy from Russia,” Trump told NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, in a fiery on-camera exchange that was nearly without precedent in the history […]

Hey, no list of great bar bands would be complete w/o these cats from Asbury Park, NJ:
July 10 Open Thread: It Could Have Been Worse. Maybe
At least one right-winger wanted an all-out culture war, and so was hoping that Trump would nominate Amy Coney Barrett. I’m sorry, you can read all the tea leaves in search of hopeful signs, but Kavanaugh will push the Court rightward. A good day to call Carper and Coons’ offices, and contribute to Kerri Harris’ […]
Filing Deadline Countdown Thread
Was gonna wait until first thing tomorrow, but a lot happened today. First and, I believe, most important, Nnamdi Chukwuocha has indeed filed to challenge the ethically-bankrupt Charles Potter for Potter’s 1st RD seat. He is a serious and well-qualified challenger. You can learn more about him here. Kelly mentioned that Vincent White had filed […]
July 9 Open Thread: Trump Vs. The Breast-Feeders
Yep, doing the bidding of the formula makers, the Trump Administration sought to deep-six a UN Resolution endorsing breast-feeding. Used ‘gangster tactics’ (threatened trade sanctions) to force Ecuador to drop its sponsorship. Ultimately, the resolution passed when, wait for it, Russia stepped in as the sponsor. No Trump threats there. Local non-profit drops hiring of […]

I just saw that Pittsburgh’s most legendary bar band played a Free At Noon on ‘XPN. Didn’t hear it, but I betcha they played this one:
July 8 Open Thread: The Return of Rocket Man
Absolutely must-reading about the DuPont Chambers Works plant now owned by Chemours. And remember, DNREC has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of these poison peddlers forever. While we can’t go back in time, we can help to ensure that the victims are fairly compensated. Gee, maybe that FOIA-proof Economic council will hand them truckloads of cash […]

I know it’s a predictable choice, but this remains my fave Kinks’ song ever, and I know that many others agree. What’s yours?:
