General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, May 12, 2021
I’m really enjoying Matt Bittle’s blow-by-blow descriptions of the gun control hearings. He lets the witnesses speak for themselves. He’s worth the subscription, which is why I have one. The latest bill in question, SS1/SB3 (Lockman): …would mandate individuals seeking to buy a handgun first complete a training course before submitting an application to the […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, May 7, 2021
It’s Official: The Big Lie And Voter Suppression Are The Only Life Rafts Keeping The Rethuglican Party From Drowning. Either the Party dies, or democracy dies. Rep. Elise Stefanik adopts The Big Lie To Oust Liz Cheney from leadership. Here’s why Cheney is out: “For sure the votes are there,” Mr. Jordan said on Fox […]

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: April, 2021
So many of you (well, my oldest daughter) have asked, ‘Where’s your Fave Tunes list for April’? It’s right here. It may still be a work-in-progress (logistical stuff), but it’s really good as it is. Enjoy! Simply gorgeous. A great kickoff to this month’s list: Pair the last one with this one, and you’ll be […]

The Latest Rethug Attempt To Label Rather Than Legislate. Prepare to hear ‘Lefty social engineering’ redound through their media echo chamber: That echoed a message sketched out immediately after Biden’s speech by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who gave the nationally televised GOP response and accused Democrats of wanting “to put Washington even more in the […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, April 30, 2021
Dang, I’ve got one of those spring/summer colds. I’ve decided that the ‘cure’ of Mucinex is worse than the ‘disease’. It’s the rare drugged-out feeling that I don’t like…hopefully it will heighten my sense of the absurd as I scour the interwebs for stuff for us to talk about. FBI Had Warned Giuliani And Sen. […]

Holy Bleep Part Deux!!: Bill Freeborn Indicted On Felony Charges
Now, that’s what I call bipartisanship. Indict both a D and an R for violating the public trust. From WDEL: Separately, the former executive director of the Wilmington Neighborhood Conservancy Land Bank Executive Director was also indicted Tuesday. Bill Freeborn, a former Republican City Councilman in the nineties and prior Director of the Division of […]
General Assembly Pre-Game Show/Post-Game Wrap-Up: Wednesday, April 28, 2021
I’m still processing this Rebecca Walker story. Here’s the context for our current General Assembly: There really is a Cop Cabal. They do things, and refuse to do things, once the cops make their position known to them. Then-Rep. Walker did kill the ban on the death penalty bill in the House Judiciary Committee. Pete […]
Holy Bleep!! Former State Rep. Rebecca Walker Indicted For Falsifying Employment Records
You remember Rebecca Walker. She got herself a golden parachute job created just for her in the Office Of Forensic Science, formerly the Medical Examiner’s Office. Conveniently, the newly-created office ended up under the supervision of, wait for it, the police, essentially guaranteeing that incriminating evidence against cops would never see the light of day. […]
Who Should We Endorse In School Board Elections?
Actually, not just ‘Who Should We Endorse?’ But ‘Who Should We Oppose Because They Would Be Dangerous If Elected’? Oh, fuck. The first name that I see is Richard Forsten in Appo, an attorney/Rethug political hack. Seriously, nobody else filed? Pathetic. Here’s a link to the entire list: https://elections.delaware.gov/information/elections/school.shtml Click on your local districts, then […]

OK, Democratic legislators. You have the impetus for your reelection campaigns firmly in your grasp. Take it. The $15 minimum wage bill is very popular.
