State Rethug ‘Leaders’ Under Fire–From R State Chair. Kudos, I guess, to Jane Brady. But she’s wrong when she says that this is not what her party stands for. Hate and resentment are pretty much all they stand for these days. An excerpt for those w/o a subscription: Brady issued a statement on Thursday saying […]
DL Political Weekly: Dec. 27, 2019-January 2, 2020
Well, the title is a lie. Yes, we will be going weekly from now on. But a lot more than I expected took place in the waning weeks of 2019, so we get a chance to play catch-up. 1. Bruce Ennis Gets A Primary Challenger. Her name is Kyra Hoffner, and she is quite active […]

The Mysterious Invasion Of The Drone Hordes: Rural Nebraska and Colorado are the sites of these sightings. Drones flying in formation. And nobody knows why: Unmanned drones, which have exploded into popular usage in recent years and can be used for everything from mapping to photography to farming, can be difficult to track. Operators of […]

Lewandowski Drops NH Senate Bid. You say you didn’t even know he was running? Well, he’s not. Anymore, that is… Protesters Swarm US Embassy In Iraq. Can you imagine if this had happened on Hillary Clinton’s watch as Secretary of State? The investigations would have already started. Anyway, this is what happens when you don’t […]
Announcing The 2019 MVP’s (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause)!
OK, I had 11, and all are worthy. At Kevin Ohlandt’s suggestion, I also looked at Amy Roe and Sara Bucic. Their contribution has been tremendous, but they should have been on last year’s list. Mea culpa. Here we go: 10 (tie). Delaware Democratic Party/Kerri Harris. The two are intertwined. Erik Raser-Schramm and Jesse Chadderdon […]

How Corporate Lobbyists Won The Day On Trump’s Tax Cuts. It wasn’t just the bill itself, it’s how they hijacked the rules-making process. Bottom line?: Virtually none of the projected $150 billion in new corporate taxes will ever be collected. The Meeting Where Trump Became The Religious Right’s Savior. Don’t know how I missed this […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE: #’s 40-21!
40. (2016) The other song that may, or may not, have made the list if not for the video. I’m more certain about this one, though: 39. (2016) 38. (2016) My youngest daughter turned me on to this Oregon-based band. They put on a great concert. And this song is an anthem: 37. (2014) 36. […]

The key findings: The data show that U.S. employers are willing to use a wide range of legal and illegal tactics to frustrate the rights of workers to form unions and collectively bargain.

Federal Reserve: Trump’s Trade War Backfired. When you think about it, that’s a dog-bites-man story if ever there was one. Some Cracks In The White Evangelical Community? Yes, question is, will the movement grow? Worth reading. Still a drop in the bucket, though… ‘Freaking Evil’. The war criminal pardoned by, and now campaigning with, Trump, […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE: #’s 60-41!
I’m having a ball doing this. Self-indulgent? Yes. But I just KNOW that you’re hearing some great tunes that you maybe never would have heard otherwise. Which has been my goal all along. 60.

No Room At The Library For The Homeless. When the defacto mayor of Wilmington is Buccini/Pollin, you know, the powerful overlords who steal money designated for low-income housing to build high-rise condos for the wealthy instead, this policy makes perfect sense. The Toxic Tandem of Mayor Mike and BPG continues to be perhaps the most […]
