…from the desk of R.E. Vanella. So here’s what happened. I did go to the pub. That’s where I go for a pint on the way home from the office…

(Wilmington, Del.) – WDEL (101.7FM/1150AM/WDEL.com) will present a debate between the candidates in the upcoming special election in the Delaware Senate 10th district on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at 7 p.m. at Middletown High School. Democrat Stephanie Hansen, Republican John Marino and Libertarian Party candidate Joseph Lanzendorfer have agreed to participate. WDEL’s Allan Loudell will be the moderator of the one-hour broadcast. The public is invited to attend the debate. Admission will be on a first-come, firstserved basis. The date for the election has not yet been set by the Delaware State Senate.

Oh!!!!! The Women's March was stupid because you, personally, have not felt oppressed -- so it's obviously just a fake problem made up by whiny millennial babies having a tantrum…

Psychoanalyzing Donald Trump has been an all-American parlor game for going on 18 months now, but I think we may be asking the wrong question -- or, perhaps, viewing it through the wrong frame. I don't think he is mentally ill. Yes, there's ample evidence of Trump's narcissism, paranoia, verminophobia, racism, and misogyny, along with a grab-bag of minor personality quirks. But most people are missing the obvious signs of a potential health problem that, I believe, renders him mentally unfit to carry out the duties of the office. I strongly suspect Donald Trump suffers from dementia. This idea is not new. It was floated as far back as October 2015, when Steve King assembled evidence at Death and Taxes.

This came in over the tip-line.

I live in the "currently" unhinged and Republican stronghold state of Texas but if the turnout for Saturday's Women's March is a barometer, hopefully we can change that sooner than later even with gerrymandering. That said, I would like to move my deposited money from BOA, headquartered in one of the most politically regressive states in the country, at least in my opinion, to one that reflects Liberal values. If you have any information as to how anyone on your blog has searched for such a financial institution, would you kindly share? Thanks for the consideration, William in Austin

This is a question that comes up from time to time because I think we all recoil at the thought of propping up the very companies that are robbing America blind. My gut reaction is to advise moving your money to a credit union. They are locally owned and not under the gun to make quarterly profit numbers. But there must be a bank that has a national ATMs network and isn't straight up evil. New Resources Bank is Bcorp certified, so that might be a contender. Similarly, Sunrise Bank out of St Paul Minnesoata is Bcorp approved. Does anyone have any experiences with any of these? Any other recommendations.

If the answer to that question is "I've commented on blogs" that isn't enough. You also need to Call Chris Coons and tell him to vote no on Tillerson for Sec of State. WILMINGTON Phone: (302) 573-6345 DOVER Phone: (302)736-5601 Toll-Free (877) 668-3368 WASHINGTON, D.C. Phone:(202) 224-5042 We need to keep constant pressure on Coons and Carper to resist Trump. They will fold and support Trump as soon as they think the coast is clear. This call script is from thesixtyfive.org, but you know how this works. My goal for this post is 10 calls to Coons on this issue. Let me know in the comments if (when?) you called.

The election of Trump has given birth to untold scores of activists and countless new grassroots organizations.   Here is a good one - Network Delaware.  It is the legacy group…
