Delaware Leads Nation In Per Capita Subsidizing Of Horse Racing. I think it’s reached the point where horse racing can be characterized as animal abuse. If so, Delaware is the #1 abuser. In fact, only Pennsylvania has spent more in total to prop up this failing ‘sport’ since 2010. It may be just me, but […]
Whose Government IS It, Anyway?
The Paradee Family’s, apparently. Government by, of, and for the Paradee family. The Paradee name has been big in D circles for decades. The old man was chair of the Kent County Democratic Party. John got a job as a staff attorney when I worked for the Senate. While we had some excellent staff attorneys […]

American Patriot To Describe The Trump-Zelensky Call. He speaks Ukrainian and he listened to the call. No need for the whistleblower any more. BTW, the toxic Laura Ingraham tried to use his accent to imply he was a spy. North Carolina Rethugs Lose Bid To Continue Gerrymander. And, no, they can’t use the old districts […]

Feds Haven’t Acquired Land For Trump’s Vanity Wall. And, wouldn’t you just know it? The land where most of the crossings occur aren’t impacted at all by what’s been built. Victim Of Revenge Porn Resigns From Congress. I hope she sues the shit out of the malefactors (emphasis on ‘male’) and wins. Trump Almost Screwed […]
El Somnambulo Barely Escapes Clutches Of The Marriott Cult
A generous benefactor gifted us a vacation to San Diego as my wife had been nominated for a national pharmacy award. As such, we were guests at the Marriott Pulse Hotel. I emphasize ‘guests’ as the hotel also serves as a spot for ‘owners’ of Marriott Vacation Club plans. When we checked in, a staffer […]

Carney Nominates Seitz To Be Supreme Court Chief Justice And Tamika Montgomery-Reeves As Associate Justice. I can only hope that Seitz has the same sense of social justice as his fabled father. AG: Wilmington City Council Can’t Stifle Dissenters. Betcha they don’t pursue any prosecution of Dion Wilson for ‘harassment and disorderly conduct’ either. If […]

That Phony Emoluments Clause. It’s the Founding Fathers’ fault. Besides, it doesn’t matter if you’re already rich. BTW, here’s how he planned to get around that pesky clause–get rich donors to pay for Doral. I, uh, don’t think that would have worked. Approval For Vulnerable Rethug Senators Plummets. Don’t see this trend reversing any time […]

D’s Losing Social Media Race–Bigly. There is no excuse for this. This should be a strength, not a weakness. It speaks to the ossified ‘leadership’ of the national party. How ALEC Plans To Protect Rethug Gerrymanders. Forewarned is forearmed. Except dim-bulb D’s may not pay attention. Buttigieg And Zuckerberg: Perfect Together? Zuckerberg will use all […]

Trump Bails On Doral. Read it for the Madman’s tweets. My fave?: “….Therefore, based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020.” Actually, we know that this was a Golf Course Too Far, even for the […]
Sonia Sloan, A Great Democrat, Has Passed Away
Any Delaware Democrat knows that putting ‘A Great Democrat’ in the title of this piece is redundant. She and husband Gil were especially close to Joe Biden. The last time I saw her, probably about two months ago, she told me that she ‘still had one campaign’ left in her. Sincerity and integrity are terms […]

Floodgates Start To Open. Not even the Rethugs can defend Trump hosting the G-7 at Doral. He may actually shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue just to see who sticks with him. Reminds me of a line from a Todd Rundgren song: “I only want to see if you’ll give up on me.” […]
Songs Of The Day 10/19: Two By The Temptations
They, and to a degree, Motown had evolved by 1969. These two songs reflect that evolution. Well, not so much the first one: BTW, Dennis Edwards, who replaced David Ruffin in the group, was mighty damn good in his own right. He passed away earlier this year at age 74:

Jee-zus, where to begin? On a day when the fact that the ‘boy’s gone crazy’ is in such clear focus? Trump’s Chief Of Staff: Yes, There Was A Quid Pro Quo. No big deal, though. Happens all the time. Romney’s Theory: Turkey Said They Were Invading. Trump Folded. My theory (one among many)?: Erdogan said […]
