General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 9, 2022
FEATURING: NICOLE & VAL TRY TO PULL ANOTHER FAST ONE! But first, some real good news. The Paid Family & Medical Leave Act passed the Senate yesterday. All D’s voted for it. All R’s voted against it. I confess that I don’t understand some of the dismissiveness I’ve seen here on the blog. Some people […]
BREAKING: DeShanna Neal Announces Run Against Kop Kabalist Larry Mitchell!!
No way this was gonna keep until Friday. Mitchell has known for awhile, hence my ‘sweating bullets’ reference on Friday. Make no mistake, this is big. I see no way the Kop Kabal leadership can survive if Mitchell falls. And DeShanna Neal is a serious challenger. Here is how she first became an effective advocate: […]

Bud Wins. So Do Guinness And Harp’s. 2210 to 1015. IMO, that’s an excellent turnout for a Special Election. Registration is destiny: “This wasn’t something I went looking for,” Freel said. “I was approached and asked to run, and I did. (He could have always said ‘no’.) I’m just anxious to go down to Dover […]

The Roger Stone Tapes. When a vain person participates in a vanity project, the results often don’t paint said person in a positive light: As a mob ransacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Roger Stone, Donald Trump’s longest-serving political adviser, hurried to pack a suitcase inside his elegant suite on the fifth floor of […]

1. Sen. Bruce Ennis Announces Retirement. Which opens up the SD 14 seat. It has a strong D edge, and should remain in the Democratic column. The only candidate who has filed is R Mark Pugh. However, D Kyra Hoffner is expected to run. She finished second in a three-way primary behind Ennis in 2020, […]

Texas Progressives Surge In Primaries: Progressives did very well in three closely watched congressional races. Greg Casar, a proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, won a landslide victory in the Democratic primary for the 35th District. Casar received 61 percent of the vote in a four-way race and won every county in the […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: February 2022
Some months there’s no unifying principle, just a bunch of cool tunes hanging out with each other. This is such a month. Could this be Nathan Arizona’s fave for Feb.?: Al convinced me to reconsider my ambivalence about Big Thief. This song is not typical of their output. Perhaps that’s why I like it: […]

That Black Opry Revue show at the Arden Gild Hall was one for the ages. If you were there, you know. Nights like last night are why I produce/promote shows. Remember these names: Roberta Lea. Aaron Vance. Tylar Bryant. Jett Holden. Lizzie No. They all deserve to be stars. But I digress (waitaminnit, how can […]

Right-Wing ‘Legal Foundation’ Goes After Delaware Voter Rights. (h/t to Matt Bittle) You know because a good man, an honest man, is forced to choose between doing his elections job and, um, honoring the Delaware Constitution: The Foundation’s client is Michael Mennella, an inspector of elections for the Delaware Department of Elections…The Foundation’s client Michael […]

1. Collin O’Mara Pondering Run For Governor. He would be the second member of his immediate family to have run for Governor. His wife ran for Governor–of Maryland–in 2018, and came in 4th in the Democratic primary. O’Mara ‘maintains a residence in Wilmington’ so, like Dave McBride, he could presumably legally run for the position. […]

Putin of Russia announced on television that he had decided “to carry out a special military operation” in Ukraine, explosions were reported across the country.
