In fact, please allow me to share this ‘tip’ from a Troll Tipster: El Som, Your research and sources are […]
Nicole and Tony Sittin’ In a Tree, P-I-S-S-I-N-G…
…on the current and should-be future Labor Secretary, Patrice Gilliam-Johnson. Who are Nicole and Tony? That would be Senator Nicole Poore and disgraced ex-Senator Tony DeLuca.

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: February, 2017
I don’t know if the music is just better so far this year or if I’m getting better at finding it, but I found a lot of great music this month. Lotsa diversity as well. Hope you like these tunes: For some reason, I just never got Father John Misty. Until now. This one […]
How A Potential Boondoggle Became a Full-Fledged Boondoggle

1. Biggest Surprise: The turnout. While I haven’t gone back to check, there is no way that any previous Special Election turnout rivaled this one.

“It’s A Shit Sandwich.”
That quote is being attributed to Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward as his reason for turning down Donald Trump’s offer to head up the National Security Council. I mean, would YOU want to lead an agency where Steve Bannon (the mind still reels) is feeding intel to whoever he wants to? In fact, I think […]
Rethugs Attack Blevins in Hail Mary to Rescue Marino
Predictable: R Senators Demand Investigation into Blevins Hiring. Now, let me just say that Patti Blevins has indeed used and abused her power to feather her own nest. There’s no doubt about it. Head of Delaware Helpline? And now Director of Animal Control? If you go back even further you’ll find Girls Incorporated. So, yes, […]
