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
The scheme was so crazy that it might well have been dreamt up by a tiny group of cronies downing a few libations at Crabby Dick’s in Delaware City. In fact, it was. Two of those cronies being then-drinking buddies Nicole Poore (more on her appearing in DL very soon) and Valerie Longhurst, along with […]
El Somnambulo Overthinks It All For You: Special Election Edition
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. There are 35,673 registered voters in SD 10. 12,580 cast ballots. That’s over 35% of eligible voters. This should cause real concern for R’s going forward. When mobilized, there are […]

SD 10 Race Takes On National Significance
It is being viewed as the first chance for voters to respond to Donald Trump at the ballot box since November. From the Huffington Post: A Special Special Election From the article: “Hansen’s campaign is benefitting from the outpouring of anger and activism that has erupted since the election of Donald Trump as president. Millions […]
“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, […]

BREAKING: ‘Team’ Marino In Turmoil!

News Journal Kisses Lisa’s Behind
One of the poorest excuses for ‘journalism’ I’ve read in a long time. Made me want to ‘fwow’ up: http://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/2017/02/03/after-month-blunt-rochester-finding-her-direction/97395588/ The guilty journalist is one Adam Duvernay. Who may well be auditioning for a role as her press secretary since this puff piece is a PR release if ever there was one. A couple of […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: Jan., 2017
For all you newbies out there (and welcome, it’s great to have so many people who have found us!), this might seem a little, shall we say, self-indulgent. Using this blog to post my favorite songs. Well, yes, yes it is. However: 1. Since junior high, I’ve been obsessed with wanting people to hear really […]
Chris Coons–Maybe Worse Than Carper
Do you all have your phones handy? Today would be a very good day to flood Sen. Chris Coons’ office with irate phone calls. Why? Here’s why: Sen.
