General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, April 7, 2022
I know that, by now, you must be sick of reading my screeds about the blatantly corrupt Ft. DuPont project. A corrupt project whose fate will likely be sealed forever with the passage of HB 355 (Longhurst), which, among other things, gets rid of direct resident representation on the Board, and hands the corporation two […]

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Set To Be Elevated To Supreme Court Today. Hey, we dodged the Breyer nightmare. That’s something: A final vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation is expected around 1:45 p.m. Eastern, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) told his colleagues Wednesday night. President Biden’s nominee, who is expected to draw […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, April 6, 2022
I doubted that anybody would vote against the Ft. DuPont/Delaware City ‘Charter Change’ in the House. I was correct. Perhaps this is the time to call out ‘Mimi’ Minor-Brown. Representative, the official reorganization of the Delaware Democratic committees should be completed by May. At that point, you, not Valerie Longhurst, will represent the residents of […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 5, 2022
Hoo-boy, we’ve got some real interesting bills to talk about right off the bat. Take, for example, HB 372 (Osienski). The bill ‘regulates and taxes marijuana in the same manner as alcohol’. I honestly haven’t had time to look at the differences between this bill and the failed bill, but they’re similar. It’s still a […]

Merrick Garland: Justice’s Rain Delay. He would have been terrible on the Supreme Court–worse than Stephen Breyer. He’s enabling criminals and insurrectionists: The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself. As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner […]

Re: Clarence Thomas: D’s Are Total Wusses. The usual suspects doing the usual thing. Nothing: Given his wife’s role in encouraging the effort to overturn the election that culminated in the awful events of that day, Clarence Thomas should obviously recuse himself from any case having to do with Jan. 6. But what can Democrats […]
Delaware Political Weekly: March 25-31, 2022
1. Ex-Cop Who Is Being Sued For Sexual Harassment Running For State Senate. Yes, we’re talking about Steve Smyk, who is looking to ‘step up’ from his state rep seat (RD 20). Gotta say, that piece in the Cape Gazette is embarrassing, although there’s certainly truth in this: Smyk, and fellow Cape Region legislators Lopez, and […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, April 1, 2022
Not a big fan of April Fool’s posts. This will not be one of them. At least, not on purpose. Fools, however, will almost inevitably be present. Did Everybody See The First Semi-Expose Of Ft. DuPont In Mainstream Media? If not, you have now. While it doesn’t revisit the early years when disgraced former State […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes For March 2022
17 songs this month. That’s a lot. I took another listen through the list on Sunday just to see if I should cut one or two. I couldn’t. Meaning, this is one of the best and deepest monthly gatherings of songs in quite some time. It’s that good. Hope you agree. Did I mention that […]

I Sure Hope That Madison Cawthorn Is Telling The Truth For Once. He almost certainly isn’t, but still: After Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) went on a podcast and alleged that some of his Republican colleagues in Congress are orgy-frequenting degenerates with a fondness for hard drugs, members of the House GOP had a simple response […]
BREAKING: Cyndie Romer Announces Candidacy To Succeed John Kowalko
I know two things: (a) she seems like a really good candidate on paper; and (b) Mike Matthews really likes her. Hard to imagine a stronger successor to Kowalko, but it’s still early. The release: Cyndie Romer Launches Campaign for the 25th Representative District (Newark, Delaware) – On Wednesday, March 30, 2022, Newark mom and […]
I’m With Will.
No, this is not a blatantly naked appeal for page views (although if it works I’ll have no objection to it). I mean, of course he shouldn’t have slapped Chris Rock. However. Jada Pinkett Smith has alopecia. She has publicly spoken about the condition since 2018. It is not a joking matter. It is an […]

Fascinating Portrait Of Vladimir Putin. Why he is the way he is. Well worth a NYTimes subscription. Too much to even excerpt. Read it online, or try to find a newspaper edition. Basically, he hated being humiliated. OK, just one excerpt: In 1993, Mr. Yeltsin ordered the Parliament shelled to put down an insurgency; 147 […]
