‘Thoughts And Prayers’ From Top Congressional Recipients Of NRA Contributions.  All, of course, are Rethugs. Hypocrites all.  Delaware Pastors Call Out The Delaware Way.  They’re right, of course. Why is Carney slow-walking the Gilliam Johnson nomination?  That entire mess stinks so much of the Delaware Way. Primary stench coming from Tony DeLuca and Nicole Poore, […]

Most Deranged Trump Performance Ever.  That Puerto Rican appearance was terrifying. All he cared about was claiming that he got ‘high marks’ for the great job he’s done.  Gives out flashlights that he claims people won’t need b/c the power is back on, which it’s not. Throws out paper towels as if they’re Mardi Gras […]

Trump: Tillerson ‘Wasting His Time’ Negotiating With ‘Bullet Man’. This man is dangerous, and this is basically his declaration of war. He needs to be removed from office. Seriously. Trump Dedicates Golf Trophy To Hurricane Victims. Yes, he spent his Sunday at a golf tournament exercising ‘strong leadership’ on behalf of victims. Ex-Wilmington Trust Execs […]

Was starting to get a little concerned, but the last week of the month saved me. As always, some real great stuff: http://www.npr.org/2017/08/10/542441711/songs-we-love-chain-and-the-gang-rome-wasn-t-burned-in-a-day  (Do NOT pass this one by. It rocks!) One of my faves.

Price Wasn’t Right. $1 mill for travel went over, and he lost. Yes, he was a total hypocrite on the issue.  Here are our lovely parting gifts.  BTW, ‘ Lovely Parting Gifts’, not a bad name for a band, don’t’cha think? Wanna bet that he doesn’t reimburse the taxpayers for that $58K he promised? Trump […]

Classless Sam Guy Announces Sen. Henry’s Retirement. As if he thinks announcing he’ll run earlier than anybody else makes him the favorite. Wouldn’t even wait for Sen. Henry to make the announcement for herself. He is a Total Asshole. He also will not be the next Senator in SD 2. Price Will Reimburse, Oh, About […]

Matt Meyer Doesn’t Sound Like A Pathological Liar.  I’m with him on his dispute with two Liliputians from below the canal. And, he got them to capitulate, aka surrender.  State Awards $1 Mill In Grants For Innovative Education Programs.  Which, of course, is 1/26 of the education funds that Carny and his Mindless Minions cut […]

Delaware Among Nation’s Leaders IN STD’s.  This article is a mess, BTW. While it may not be a surprise that rates are rising, the article doesn’t answer the question: Why are rates rising in Delaware more rapidly? And then there’s this: This fall, the state’s Division of Public Health plans to ramp up its sexually […]

Bad Day For GOP

Two breaking stories even before Roy Moore beats Big Luther Strange tonight: GOP Won’t Even Vote On Graham/Cassidy. Sen. Corker of Tennessee Will Retire.  R nominee will almost certainly be to the right of Corker. Possibly far to the right of Corker.  Possibly putting Tennessee into play for D’s.

Yes, it’s at least as dirty as you thought.  7 schools, assistant coaches, ‘agents’, a ‘major sports apparel company’ (Adidas).  Funneling money to recruits to attend certain schools.  The Feds have ’em nailed. Conversations on tape.  The schools that have been identified:  Arizona, Auburn,  Oklahoma State, Louisville (aka ‘Papa John’s U’), Miami, Southern Cal, and […]

Edison Charter Principal Reinstated. Yes, it was about raises for teachers and staff. Board promised them, then reneged on promise.  Board rep says the suspension never should have happened. Raising the question, why did it happen? At Least 6 Trump WH Aides Used Private E-Mail.  Guess their defense, if they deign to provide one, is […]
