Interesting day in the Senate. The ‘Angel Investor’ bill, which was completely rewritten via this amendment, passed the Senate, but only by a 14-7 vote.  The bill had passed unanimously in the House. With the Senate amendment now attached, the bill will return to the House for another vote.  The no votes?: Bonini, Hocker, Lawson, […]

At least one gun-related bill is heading to the Governor’s office following a unanimous vote for it in the Senate.  This bill, which creates emergency protocols to remove deadly weapons from those deemed a threat to themselves and others. While I understand that there may be some concerns from the ACLU that could require litigation, […]

Yes, she performed at the Arden Gild Hall, and yes, she sang this song. Must’ve been inspired by the food we served. Or perhaps the cook.  I understand he was really handy with his utensils:

The House and Senate leadership teams may well be the most ineffectual that I can remember.  In fact, I’m struggling to think who comes in second.  This is not me settling scores. This is a recognition of just how poorly they have mismanaged what should have been slam-dunk legislation to prevent mass carnage via deadly […]

I spent an evening at the Broken Spoke in Austin, TX some 30-plus years ago.  A great Texas honky-tonk. Couldn’t master either step of the Texas Two-Step. Guess I should’a worn boots instead of sneakers.  Just stumbled onto this song that was recorded there, and I like it:

Headed over to the Hazardous Waste Disposal event at Mt. Pleasant Elementary this morning.  Car’s loaded up with about 50 years of half-used paint cans. Just for context:

1. Brandt Can’t. Won’t. Run.  The ‘name on the ballot’ who the R’s convinced to run for the House seat currently held by Lisa Blunt Rochester is a name on the ballot no more.  The, pardon the expression, aborted candidacy falls squarely on the shoulders of Mike Harrington, the out-of-his-depth Chair of the Delaware Republican […]
