Thanksgiving Open Thread: Happy Mac ‘n’ Cheese Day
I’m a sucker for these U.S. maps that show the most popular insert-noun-here for each state. Today’s shows the most Googled Thanksgiving recipe for each state, and Delaware’s is — macaroni and cheese? Appears so. Delaware is the Yankee outpost of a mac ‘n’ cheese belt that extends north from the Carolinas, interrupted only by […]
Technical Issues Imminent
We just want to give you a heads-up that there may be some weirdness on the site this week. We are changing hosting companies (probably on Wednesday). We are hoping that it won’t be much of an impact, but if you get some odd errors this week, rest assured that we will be back in […]
Who Are Your Delaware Progressive MVP’s For 2018?
Pretty sure I didn’t do a list last year as there were so few possibilities. And/or b/c I was deep into a Trump funk. This year is different. So many choices. So, here are the rules: Nominate someone for the list. The standard is: Who most helped the progressive cause in Delaware in 2018? While […]
Open Thread For Nov. 15, 2018: About Face(book)!
The ‘failing’ NY Times commits some great journalism, and exposes many of the sins of Facebook in this epic article. You simply must read the whole thing. Here’s an excerpt to tease you with: While Mr. Zuckerberg has conducted a public apology tour in the last year, Ms. Sandberg has overseen an aggressive lobbying campaign […]
Open Thread For Nov. 14, 2018: Delaware Day
New Castle County Council Gets Better. A lot better. Add Dee Durham and Dave Carter. Subtract Bob Weiner and Bill Powers. BTW, if you go to Weiner’s Facebook, he was wein-ing about his signs being defaced. Two signs. Which left him with only about 10,000 other signs in the district. Asshole. This whole Vaughn Corrections […]
The New Legislative Leadership Teams
We’ll start with the ‘Just the facts, ma’am’ portion of the story. Here’s who was elected last night at the caucuses: Senate D’s: Dave McBride, President Pro-Tem; The Ethically-Bankrupt Nicole Poore, Senate Majority Leader; Bryan Townsend, Majority Whip. Senate R’s: Gerald Hocker, Senate Minority Leader; Cathy Cloutier, Minority Whip. House D’s: Pete Schwartzkopf, Speaker; Val […]
Is John Carney Sending Prisoners Out-Of State Under The Cloak Of Election Darkness?
There’s word on the street that he’s trying to do this. Not for the first time. Last time he tried, Rep. J. J. Johnson called him on it and got him to stop. J. J.’s not there anymore. Everybody is paying attention to the election. Carney has no clue as to how to solve the […]
Day-After Thoughts: Everything I’m Thinking About The Delaware Results
1. The Year Of The Woman: I should say the first of many years of the woman. Kathy Jennings, Colleen Davis, Laura Sturgeon, Krista Griffith, Dee Durham, Tizzy Lockman, Melissa Minor-Brown, Kendra Johnson. All first-time candidates, except for Dee Durham, who ran in a D primary for SD 4 over a decade ago. And those […]
2018 General Election Results Thread
I’ll try to comment on this thread from the Stitch House and later the Doubletree.
Greg Lavelle: A Cheater Until The Bitter End
Greg Lavelle just sent out a ‘news’ letter. There’s no news. There’s no disclaimer as to who paid for it, other than that the taxpayers didn’t pay for the mailing. Which wasn’t a mailing, but an e-mailing. The day before the election. I suspect, however, that the taxpayers are funding the person(s) who put this […]
Democratic Legislative Leaders Disgrace Themselves
This calls for my second Casey Stengel quote in less than a week: The secret to being a successful manager is to keep the players who can’t stand you away from those who haven’t made up their minds yet. Scott Goss has a fascinating story which, unfortunately, he has butchered again. More on that in […]
Here’s What Mike Ramone Did: Philly Daily News Covers The Scandal the News-Journal Wouldn’t
It’s sleazy, it’s a blatant conflict-of-interest, and it includes a couple of pals of, wait for it, the ethically-challenged Joe Biden. Maybe that’s why the News-Journal wouldn’t cover it. Failure to cover this story is journalistic malpractice, which makes it all the more ironic that an alleged ‘reporter’ criticized this blog for covering it. Anyway, […]
El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: Part 2
There will be some sort of a blue wave in Delaware. Only question is: How much of a Blue Wave? I don’t know. But I feel real good about my predictions, which factor in a bit of a blue wave, but not a blue tsunami. I think there will be a blue wave largely b/c […]
