Democrats and Republicans, Heed the Call, All Can Attend the Hypocrites’ Ball
Jeffrey Balk, the erstwhile chair of the Sussex County Democratic Party, stepped down from his position over the weekend, but not before his situation exposed the rank hypocrisy of the party he represents. The Democrats in Dover pushed long and hard for a law that bans employers asking job applicants if they’ve ever been convicted […]
John Kowalko Has Passed Away
He was among the earliest progressives who sought to challenge the Delaware Way. Many of the ideas that he that he first championed, like the creation of an Inspector General, have come to pass. I suspect and hope that the same will hold true of his seeking to reinstate a progressive income tax. My deepest […]

The October 18 ‘No Kings’ March Open Thread
Where are you marching? What are you seeing? What are your thoughts and feelings? Celebrity sightings? We’re marching in Wilmington, I plan to wear my sweatshirt with Trump and Putin kissing under the mistletoe.

1. James Spadola Is Suddenly A Democrat. Here’s why, in his own words: In his post, Spadola said that he weighed the decision to stay Republican. “Other than staying the course, I could not find a reason that fit my values or my vision for Wilmington, certainly not under the GOP’s nostalgic claim of fiscal […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2025
Is the AI revolution a boom or a bubble? A recent analysis found that 80% of the growth in the stock market is in tech stocks, with much of the capital flowing in from overseas. What worries some analysts is the circular nature of a handful of companies investing in each other. Others worry that […]

1. Dan Cruce Wants You To Know That He Reallyreallyreally Lives In Wilmington: He just resurfaced there after having been invisible since, well, since the Special Election. He’s trumpeting his Wilmington residency in a hastily-started door-to-door. Far be it from me to raise any questions about where he lives. I’ll leave that task to Dan […]

Whoa–Blue Delaware Gets Outed–And How
Just-wow. Got this in my e-mailbox this morning. I’m cutting and pasting the entire thing because I couldn’t find it on the Downballot website: I discovered something yesterday that gutted me: A site called Blue Delaware has been stealing our content all year—verbatim, hundreds of words at a time—and publishing it as their own. After […]
