Supreme Court Tells Students To Drop Dead. Oh, they’ll get around to considering it eventually, but we all know the result is pre-ordained: The Supreme Court has rejected the Biden administration’s emergency request to intervene in litigation that has blocked the president’s new student loan repayment program, leaving millions of borrowers in limbo. Biden launched […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #2–RD 15
Two in one day? Why? Because early voting has begun, and this story just HAS to be told to as many voters as possible. Besides, I finished it early. Pull up a chair, folks, this is gonna be a long one. Incumbent Val Longhurst, heretofore to be referred to as Our PAL Val, embodies everything […]
AG Jennings Goes There!
It’s where anybody who is paying attention should have already gone. Bethany Hall-Long has engaged in so much illegal and unethical activity that any reasonable person should realize that she absolutely should not be our next Governor. This unethical activity pretty much started when she first ran for office and (a) her husband stole her […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #3–RD 14
Yesterday, I wrote this: If you’ve been following the ‘most intriguing’ races series, you will note an overriding theme to most of the races–there’s a Delaware Way candidate and there’s someone challenging the Delaware Way. The Delaware Way in Dover reflects the insider casual corruption of Pete Schwartzkopf, Our PAL Val Longhurst, and their enablers. […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #4–RD 21
You all know Dr. Frank Burns. He almost defeated Mike Ramone in 2022 and likely hastened Ramone’s decision to abandon his home turf for Sussex County. And a race for Governor. Burns is a true progressive, twice endorsed by WFP, who has helped to train other progressive candidates for office. He gives back. His campaign […]

Of Runzas And Hot Pockets. Pretty sure you can put that single Nebraska electoral vote in the D win column…: A Runza, for the uninitiated, is a German-style meat and cabbage sandwich sold by a Nebraska-based hamburger chain of the same name. Walz’s caravan stopped at a Runza restaurant, at 77th and L Streets on […]

Mentally-Unfit Candidates Unite Under The Trump Banner. What could possibly go wrong, especially since Kennedy hadn’t made a campaign appearance since early July? Doesn’t CNN Vet Its ‘Undecided’ Voters? Nope. Here’s the story of the one allegedly undecided voter on their panel who, following Harris’ speech, said he was now for Trump: A man introduced […]
‘Real Men Support Strong Women’
Guest Post By La Somnambula I read an article today about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and how he supports his wife Vice President Kamala Harris. He quit his job as a lawyer to follow her to Washington, D.C. (So did Michele Obama, so did Hillary Clinton, but I digress). He is a man who eschews […]
Just One More Thing BHL Won’t Talk To The Press About
More blatant Delaware Way shit, this time featuring all her buddies at the Department Of Elections. Tell me again why the State Senate didn’t bother asking Anthony Albence any questions when Carney reappointed him: State election officials in Delaware communicated directly with one or more aides in Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s office last year amid […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #5A–Wilmington Mayor
Yes, kids, somehow I ended up with 11 races on my list of the 10 most intriguing primaries. (Not the first time this has happened–imagine you’re unveiling your list of your 50 fave songs of the year. You’re down to the top 20–and realize you only have nineteen songs remaining. I’ve been there.) I chose […]

You can all post your impressions of the Convention. Apparently it was a very successful night. Watching Leon Panetta babble on was my cue to go to sleep. Who thought that was a good idea? Also–no Beyonce?? What can I say? I’m hyper-critical. Loved the appearance of the Central Park Five. Saw no reason why […]

Missed the proceedings last night. Did Bill Clinton bite his lower lip? The Case Of The Missing Pancreata: At least 7000 have vanished without a trace: There are some mysteries that I fear I’ll never see resolved. Who was DB Cooper and what happened to him? Who robbed the Gardner Museum of its Vermeer and […]
Margie Lopez Waite: A Walking, Talking Conflict of Interest
Guest Post By The One-And-Only Kevin Ohlandt Of Exceptional Delaware. In the 27th State Rep. District, incumbent Eric Morrison will have a primary against Margie Lopez-Waite on September 10th. I felt it was necessary for the voters to know what Lopez-Waite stands for. It is all about positions she is already in that would create […]
