The Final Countdown is here! Bulo’s list of his favorite songs of 2015. But first, a recap for those late to the party:

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes of 2015: #’s 20-11
Coming up on the Final Countdown of Bulo’s fave tunes of 2015. Here is #20 to #11.
Holy Bleep! Eagles Fire Chip Kelly
I really liked the idea of his hiring. But, the idea of his hiring turned out to be far better than the reality of his tenure. Still, this is a shock.
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes of 2015: #’s 30-21
Here is the third installment of El Som’s countdown of his favorite tunes of 2015. Here are entries 30 to 21.
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes of 2015: #’s 50-41
I can’t tell you how many hours go into preparing this list. I can only say that we are talking geometric progressions of time as opposed to, say, what I spend on the MVP Awards. My wife and daughters served as sounding boards in finalizing the list. My hope is to turn you on to music you perhaps haven’t heard on your own. Consider it my holiday gift to you–whether you wanted it or not.
The 2015 MVP (Most Valuable to the Progressive Cause in Delaware) Awards
How many times have I asked the question, “Won’t somebody, anybody, challenge this egregious wrong?” Lots of times. Whether it’s the illegal actions of the corrupt Minner team or the illegality of Tony DeLuca serving as both a legislator and as an administrator of a public agency, the answer has always been, no, nobody will challenge this egregious wrong. The budget that was forced through the General Assembly this year was an egregious wrong. Specifically, the (I believe) illegal application of settlement funds to help balance the operating budget. This misuse of funds violated the specific purposes for which the funds could be used. While the AG strongly criticized the misuse of the funds, he either chose not to challenge, or was not in a position to challenge, the General Assembly’s cavalier actions. But someone else did. And that someone else is our Most Value Progressive of the Year.
The All-Purpose Question Thread for Presumptive Governor John Carney
It has occurred to me that we don’t really know where John Carney stands on the major issues facing Delaware. So, let’s put together a list for him. You know, to give him enough time to begin thinking about these things. Please add your own questions to the list:
Final Call for 2015 MVP Candidates!
The Annual MVP (Most Valuable to the Progressive Cause in Delaware) Awards will be announced next week. Most likely Tuesday, to be simultaneously released here at DL and live on the Al Mascitti Show.
I know it wasn’t the best year for progressives in Delaware, but many rose up to fight the good fight.
Nominate someone and cite what they did, and I will seriously consider them for the list. Many who previously received recognition were nominated by our readers. At least two winners came directly from our readers. The responses have been kinda slow this year, but you have until this Friday to post your candidates. C’mon folks, help me out here.
More Proof that the Law Does Not Apply to Cops.
A cop was once again found ‘not guilty’ for beating the piss out of an innocent man. This time a Dover cop. With a folder full of abuse complaints, none of which were allowed in at trial. Despite a video showing him kicking said innocent man.
My conclusion: More proof that Delaware is a police state.
Delaware Is A Police State. Will Anybody Do Anything?
I hope you have all read this article in Sunday’s News Journal. If not, read it and then head back here. I’ll wait.
I didn’t know, betcha that you didn’t either, that police can seize property, money and valuables when they suspect that the owners of said property, money and valuables are involved in drug-related crime. Betcha didn’t know that neither (a) the filing of charges and/or (b) convictions for said offenses were a prerequisite for police just taking stuff. Betcha didn’t know that it’s exceedingly difficult, if not down-right impossible, for innocent victims of said seizures to get their money, property and valuables back. Betcha didn’t know that the ‘proceeds’ go directly to a law enforcement slush fund called SLEAF. Betcha didn’t know that Delaware is the only state in the union that refuses to release the amount of money seized and how the money is spent….
State Police Now Posing As Foreign Policy Experts
Taking their cue from Craven Carney, the Delaware State Police are calling for a ‘pause’ in allowing Syrian refugees into the country.
Unlike Jack Markell, the cops unsurprisingly have demonstrated no knowledge of the already rigorous 18-24 months screening process that precedes the admission of any Syrian refugee into the country. The words in the statement are boilerplate from the pants-wetters, including Craven Carney. Poor wittle police critters are scared of widows and orphans from Syria.
Desperately Seeking MVP Candidates!
It’s that time of year again! Time to nominate those who were Most Valuable to the Progressive Cause in Delaware in 2015. Here is the main rule: You must submit your rationale along with your nomination. The nominee doesn’t even have to be a progressive, Christine O’Donnell won one year for the sh*tstorm she unleashed on the Rethuglican Party.
In the last two years, the winners ended up coming from your nominations. While I have a few names, including a tentative #1, your suggestions will, to a large extent, determine the names on the list.
Nominations close on Friday, December 11, with the list being published sometime around Christmas.
Have at it!
