DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #6–RD 28
I doubt that any legislator has been less distinguished, yet wielded as much power, as Lumpy Carson. At least in recent times. He has been Pete ‘n Val’s Useful Idiot during their reign of terror against their own caucus and Democratic principles. Long-time House head of the Joint Finance Committee, chair and/or member of any […]
Good People Doing Great Things
This story made me feel real good. So this is literally a feel-good story: The more than 30 proud, self-described gutter-pagan, mostly queer dirtbags in their early 30s gathered ‘round Friday night bearing shots of Svedka and Roman candles and sparklers, as the glow of Camden kissed their faces from across the river. The thing […]

That. Mug. Shot. (Fulton County Sheriff’s Office) At first, I was fixated by the Death Stare, figuring that Trump had rehearsed this ad nauseum in order to look as resolute as Winston Churchill in that famous WW II photo. Then, inevitably, my eyes became riveted on his ‘dome-icile’, and what does, or doesn’t, reside therein. […]

Didn’t watch the debate. Didn’t watch the commentary after the debate. That ‘climate change is a hoax’ would seem to be disqualifying, though. Even to Rethugs. Pretty sure that farmers don’t think it’s a hoax. However, pretty sure ‘the media’ needs Vivek, so we’re gonna get an endless hype train–until it’s time to toss him […]
BREAKING: Wagner Boss Prigozhin Killed In Plane Crash?
Let the conspiracy theories begin: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/23/yevgeniy-prigozhin-plane-crash-ukraine-russia-live/ At least 10 people died in the crash of a Wagner-linked private plane outside Moscow, according to Russia’s emergency services.

DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #7–RD 2
I could do #’s 5, 6 and 7 in pretty much any order. We’re talking three absolutely abysmal incumbents with no (so far) challengers, either announced or rumored. I’ve ordered them from those doing (IMO) the least damage to those doing the most damage. They, all, however, have done significant damage. Career hack Stephanie Bolden […]

The ‘Occasional’ Delaware Political Weekly: August 18, 2023
Two ‘occasional’ political weekly pieces in the same week? Yes. The main reason? Item #1: 1. Something Stinks In Newark. Hmmm, is it the unmistakable smell of cop donuts and Babe Ruth League canteen hot dogs? Yep, we’re talking Pete ‘n Val stench.

When You’ve Lost The Cato Institute…: We’re talking yet another Koch Bros enterprise dedicated to their version of ‘libertarianism’, aka unfettered freedom for oligarchs: Up until now, I’ve been hesitant to predict how the various prosecutions of Donald Trump are likely to turn out. But no longer. I believe yesterday’s indictment in Georgia sealed Trump’s fate, […]
