1. James Spadola Is Suddenly A Democrat. Here’s why, in his own words: In his post, Spadola said that he weighed the decision to stay Republican. “Other than staying the course, I could not find a reason that fit my values or my vision for Wilmington, certainly not under the GOP’s nostalgic claim of fiscal […]

While Trump tries To stake his claim to the Nobel Peace Prize (Spoiler Alert–he’s not getting it), the Big Story remains that Our Demented President Wages War On American Cities. Months ago, Donald Trump claimed that Los Angeles “would be burning” if not for the federal troops he was sending there. On Sunday, in a similarly […]

Coffee, Cheese, Wine: Nature’s Most Essential Foods? Or just my most essential foods?: Coffee: Coffee growers are dealing with a lot right now.

1. Dan Cruce Wants You To Know That He Reallyreallyreally Lives In Wilmington: He just resurfaced there after having been invisible since, well, since the Special Election. He’s trumpeting his Wilmington residency in a hastily-started door-to-door. Far be it from me to raise any questions about where he lives. I’ll leave that task to Dan […]

Gonna have to make this quick –Delmarva is doing maintenance work, and we’ll be w/o power starting at 8 am. I’ve poured myself a double (shot of TJ’s Cold Brew), so I should at least be semi-lucid. President Will Make Blue States Suffer During Shutdown. Hey, he’s already fighting the new Civil War, if you, […]

Welcome, Blue Delaware Reader(s?)! Y’know, I used to joke that, in those rare instances when we broke a story over here, Blue Delaware would have it in 3-2-1, without attribution. Guess I’ve gotta come up with a new joke. That guy was a serial plagiarizer, presumably because he never came up with even a sentence […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: September 2025
A pleasingly-eclectic month. (Pleasing and eclectic to me. YMMV. Let me know.) Proof that their last one wasn’t a fluke: A Rorschach Test Song For You: What do you think?: Best Band In America? Suitably strange as well: For those of you new to Georgia Maq and perhaps the musical DNA of this blog, this […]

Whoa–Blue Delaware Gets Outed–And How
Just-wow. Got this in my e-mailbox this morning. I’m cutting and pasting the entire thing because I couldn’t find it on the Downballot website: I discovered something yesterday that gutted me: A site called Blue Delaware has been stealing our content all year—verbatim, hundreds of words at a time—and publishing it as their own. After […]

The Real Reason Trump Invaded Portland: Portland authorities are in a standoff with the Trump administration over an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention facility in the Oregon city, after an investigation found the administration is using the facility for overnight detentions, in violation of its city-issued permits. The standoff comes amid threats from Donald […]

I think that Trump’s madness is hitting critical mass. This might well be the week when enough people wake up and realize that he is utterly unfit to be President. There are just too many signs of his descent into insanity for even the press, and perhaps, Rethugs, to ignore. I’m serious. Pretty sure the first Trump […]
