Welcome, Blue Delaware Reader(s?)! Y’know, I used to joke that, in those rare instances when we broke a story over here, Blue Delaware would have it in 3-2-1, without attribution. Guess I’ve gotta come up with a new joke. That guy was a serial plagiarizer, presumably because he never came up with even a sentence […]

I think that Trump’s madness is hitting critical mass. This might well be the week when enough people wake up and realize that he is utterly unfit to be President. There are just too many signs of his descent into insanity for even the press, and perhaps, Rethugs, to ignore. I’m serious. Pretty sure the first Trump […]

Trump Prosecutes Political Enemies. Remember the events–prosecutor declines to go after Comey and Letitia James because the cases are either weak or non-existent.

RIP: Pete Ross. Were there a Hall Of Fame for great Delaware public servants, Pete would be a first-ballot inductee. Not just for his mastery of the budget process, but because of the way he patiently explained things to a fiscally-clueless (me) staffer over the years. He didn’t just answer questions, he made you (me) […]
