Joe Biden would have made a pretty good President 20 years ago. The press would have liked him, and the GOP wasn't completely bonkers yet. Oh well. Play Offense On…

Here we are again.  You with your morning coffee probably thinking Jason330 is such a snappy writer and has such insightful insights, I'll bet he has amazing Abs. And it's true, I do have amazing  pyramidalis, external obliques, internal obliques, and transversus abdominis.  To be honest, it is the first thing most people notice about me. But most people are shallow.  Not deep thinkers like you and me. And it is your deep thinking I am depending on.  In today's open thread, instead of a survey of today's "news"  we will be constructing the optimal Democratic candidate from a bunch of spare parts called "One virtue from a Delaware political figure you like, and one virtue from a Delaware political figure you don't." Then we'll wait for lightning to strike and charge our Franken-candiate via their neck bolts.  But mark the rules well - one virtue from a Delaware political figure you like, and one virtue from a Delaware political figure you don't. Adherence to rules makes the game fun for everyone. I'll start and take the lowest of low hanging fruit.

I suck at blogging.  I'm still not following the news.  But this item penetrated my anti-news carapace. In our smaller world,  I met Lydia York  and was very impressed. Meet her yourself at an upcoming fundraiser, and donate away. I also had saw an excellent 'DelShakes' production of 'The Tempest' put on in Rockwood Park.  Standout performances by Gerrad Alex Taylor as Caliban and Lexi Thammavong as Ariel.  Runs (Wed - Sun) through July 31st.  Buy tickets here.

I have spent a lot of time considering ‘The Delaware Way’ and how it has shaped the Black community, particularly in Wilmington, the place where it’s been most important to…

I kinda wanted Biden as the nominee again, but I realize that was out of discomfort around the idea of replacing him as the nominee.  Now I'm not sure we…

The Onion called Steve Bannon "Trump's most encrusted advisor".   I also learned an arsonist targeted Dover's Target.    On the whole, that's not much news for a political blogger.    Wait...There…

Why must we amend the Constitution to ban religion's exalted place among non-rational belief sytems: The lobbying outfit called the Family Research Council is now considered a religion by the…

How do I know this?  For one thing they are shitty at their jobs.  For another, they are all leaking to the New York Times that they are "concerned" that…

American workers did not fall, but were shoved into an industrial shredder by Bill Clinton and the "Corporations First"  Democratic Party he was largely responsible for creating.  

Mr. Musk’s (attempt to back out of the deal) sets up what is likely to be an ugly and protracted legal battle with Twitter. The billionaire signed a legally binding…

"The people" are clamoring to support Kathy McGuiness.  ...If by "the people" you mean people that Kathy paid through the Auditor's office for what appeared to be campaign work.   Check…
