Missed the proceedings last night.  Did Bill Clinton bite his lower lip? The Case Of The Missing Pancreata:  At least 7000 have vanished without a trace: There are some mysteries that I fear I’ll never see resolved. Who was DB Cooper and what happened to him? Who robbed the Gardner Museum of its Vermeer and […]

Filed in Delaware, Education, Featured by on August 21, 2024 13 Comments

Guest Post By The One-And-Only Kevin Ohlandt Of Exceptional Delaware. In the 27th State Rep. District, incumbent Eric Morrison will have a primary against Margie Lopez-Waite on September 10th. I felt it was necessary for the voters to know what Lopez-Waite stands for. It is all about positions she is already in that would create […]

Perhaps nobody is more ill-suited to his district than is Bill Bush.  A Delaware Way insider, he served as a House Attorney to the Kop Kabal, destroyed the choice of the Del-Tech Board of Directors in order to install Lonnie George’s Chosen One as Del-Tech President, and perhaps has been the leading pro-business/anti-grassroots Democratic legislator […]

Cut-and-pasting this: Friend, Thank you for everything you’ve done to support my campaign for Mayor. Today, I wanted to send a different message. I’m urging you to support Lieutenant Governor Bethany Hall-Long to be the next Governor for the State of Delaware. Over the last several weeks, Bethany’s opponents have distorted the truth and misrepresented the facts […]

Never knew I had so many teacher friends. (Stating the obvious, none had to deal with me in the classroom.)  But, starting this morning, several were in touch with me about this as I guess they all received the letter either at home or at school (I think this was the first day back for […]

A Bleepload Of Political Mailers.  Here’s what I got yesterday: Two mailers from Collin, at least a month too late; two anti-BHL mailers–gotta say, they were artfully produced; one mailer from Melanie Ross Levin or, more accurately, DSEA, addressed to my daughter, who does live in her district but doesn’t live here; one mailer for […]

Linda McMahon To Help Trump Transition.  See what I did there? Tulsi Gabbard To Play The Role Of Kamala For Trump’s Debate Prep.  Surely I’m not the only one who thinks he chose her b/c he thinks she’s hot.  Wonder what his plan is for a diaper workaround.  BTW, turns out she campaigned for the […]

State Auditor Sets Up Opioid Slush Fund Tracker.  Great work that would be absolutely unnecessary if BHL had not used it as her personal slush fund to benefit her political allies.  It goes w/o saying that BHL and her ‘staff’ are the last people who should be auditing this.  We can now add over $90K […]

Collin O’Mara Can Still Win IF…

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on August 14, 2024 18 Comments

Guest Post by the MoMo: “It’s not too late” – me, an undecided voter. This is a message to O’Mara, the candidate with the most to gain. Summer sucks the lifeblood from voter contact, paid and grassroots for all candidates. Speaking to officials and Party members and primary voters, the clear message is that it is […]

Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries: #6–Democratic Lieutenant Governor

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on August 14, 2024 3 Comments

I think this primary becomes less intriguing with each passing day.  The three candidates are State Senator Kyle Evans Gay, State Rep. Sherry Dorsey Walker, and Dr. Debbie Harrington.  I’m not saying that the race is over, but Kyle Evans Gay appears to be the front-runner.  I reported on her campaign finance windfall this morning, […]
