Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 3, 2022
Everything pales in contrast to the Supreme Court killing Roe v. Wade. Thankfully, Delaware enacted legislation retaining all the protections of Roe v. Wade in the event that this day would ever come. I believe that the ‘gentlemanly’ Orrin Hatch helped put Alito on the Court. As did Tom Carper, who voted against filibustering Alito. […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: April, 2022
No better way to start out this month than with one of my fave artists of recent times. I love this song: If you like(d) Ought like I do (did): Struggled to guess Nathan Arizona’s fave this month. Settled on this one. Could be wrong, though: Gotta see ’em live: If Little Steven’s Underground Garage […]

Tucker Carlson: American Nationalist. When the history of the death of American democracy (or what passes for it) is written (whether it’s permitted to be published or read depends upon the whims of whoever ends up as America’s Orban), the creation of a 24/7 TV propaganda news cycle will loom large in the story. As […]

Western Artillery Flows Into Ukraine. Is there any hope that this war can be contained? I’m going with ‘No’: The Western artillery flooding into Ukraine will alter the war with Russia, setting off a bloody battle of wits backed by long-range weapons and forcing both sides to grow more nimble if they hope to avoid […]

You Know Less About Dogs Than You Thought You Knew. Why? Because we humans like to check off boxes that aren’t always correct. Oh, and we deal in stereotypes: Breed means very little in predicting the behavior and personality of an individual dog, the researchers found. That appears to be especially true for traits that […]

1. Dem Kingmakers Unite Behind Marcus Henry To Succeed Matt Meyer. Why did all of these ‘influencers’ flock to Henry’s side for his announcement? Here are my thoughts. First, as we all know, Matt Meyer is running for Governor in 2024, which is when his term as NCC Executive expires. Still, like John Carney, Henry […]

D’s ‘Shocked’ That Ohio Union Members Love Trump. Not to mention, Rethugs’ relentless gerrymandering has placed D seats at risk. Right on cue, NY Court rules rare D redistricting unconstitutional. It’s starting to look like Hungarian democracy is the best we can hope for. Assisted every step of the way by so-called D centrists who […]

Don’t Think Kevin McCarthy Is Gonna Be The Next Speaker. Assuming the Rethugs win, which the Democratic Party has been trying to ensure happens: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy denied ever believing that President Donald Trump should resign in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol ― in spite of […]

Sorry for the late start. We’ve been binge-watching Justified, and we’re in the final season, which is Breaking Bad-good. Sometimes, we can’t stop ’til we’ve seen the next episode. Final two episodes tonight…I’m guessing the body count increases. Dems Can’t Ignore Culture Wars Any Longer. Jamelle Bouie speaks the truth: Almost 60 years ago, the […]

1. Rethugs Find Themselves An Auditor Candidate–And, Yes, She’s Out There. No, she hasn’t filed for the ballot yet. But she filed her campaign committee this week. Her name is Janice Lorrah, and if her name is familiar, it should be. She filed suit to end Carney’s school mask mandate. Not, you know, because she’s […]

These Ten Incumbents Need Challengers ASAP!
This list does not include any incumbents who already have credible challengers. It also does not include either Speaker Pete or Our PAL Val. I just think that, with their war chests, it makes more sense to remove them from leadership by electing more progressives to the General Assembly. We already have some good challengers, […]
