In no particular order.  Feel free to add your own: Someone needs to immediately stop BHL from disbursing any more money from her opioid slush fund.  Especially to herself. I want to see Matt Meyer make government transparency and openness a key issue in his campaign and, one hopes, his administration.  The voters have eliminated […]

Been waiting for this day since 2008.  The week between Christmas and New Years.  The day you stormed into my office, tore down my posters from the wall, told me I was fired and had twenty minutes to vacate the premises, and thrust a letter in front of me saying I had resigned and told […]

To me, this is the lede that must not be buried: The Delaware Democratic Party, DSEA, and several other groups of whom you might expect better,  endorsed Bethany Hall-Long for Governor even though they knew about her violation of campaign finance laws and other various and sundry unethical activities.

Real Headline Of The Day: Scientists use food dye found in Doritos to make see-through mice My unassailable theory:  Scientists eat way too many Doritos. Tenet Is No More.  You know, the Tennessee-based RWNJ disseminator of Russian propaganda.   Isn’t treason defined as ‘giving aid and comfort to the enemy’.  Try these assholes for treason: A […]

I hereby take a timeout from moderating the blog to trying to write the daily Open Thread post.  Moderating ain’t easy, especially when one is not a moderate.  Can’t recall a year where there’s been more ‘working of the refs’.  But, I digress.
