Nov. 8, 2018 Open Thread: California Bloodlines

Filed in Featured, National by on November 8, 2018 7 Comments

Yet another mass murder, this time at a country & western bar that catered to college students. Something tells me that the shooter wasn’t a music critic. Nope, a Marine vet with symptoms of PTSD, including apparently a suicidal incident in his past.  He was a Marine, though, so of course he should keep his […]

We’ll start with the ‘Just the facts, ma’am’ portion of the story. Here’s who was elected last night at the caucuses: Senate D’s: Dave McBride, President Pro-Tem; The Ethically-Bankrupt Nicole Poore, Senate Majority Leader; Bryan Townsend, Majority Whip. Senate R’s: Gerald Hocker, Senate Minority Leader; Cathy Cloutier, Minority Whip. House D’s: Pete Schwartzkopf, Speaker; Val […]

Is John Carney Sending Prisoners Out-Of State Under The Cloak Of Election Darkness?

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 7, 2018 17 Comments

There’s word on the street that he’s trying to do this. Not for the first time. Last time he tried, Rep. J. J. Johnson called him on it and got him to stop. J. J.’s not there anymore. Everybody is paying attention to the election. Carney has no clue as to how to solve the […]

Day-After Thoughts: Everything I’m Thinking About The Delaware Results

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 7, 2018 19 Comments

1. The Year Of The Woman: I should say the first of many years of the woman.  Kathy Jennings, Colleen Davis, Laura Sturgeon, Krista Griffith, Dee Durham, Tizzy Lockman, Melissa Minor-Brown, Kendra Johnson. All first-time candidates, except for Dee Durham, who ran in a D primary for SD 4 over a decade ago.  And those […]

Greg Lavelle: A Cheater Until The Bitter End

Greg Lavelle just sent out a ‘news’ letter. There’s no news. There’s no disclaimer as to who paid for it, other than that the taxpayers didn’t pay for the mailing. Which wasn’t a mailing, but an e-mailing. The day before the election. I suspect, however, that the taxpayers are funding the person(s) who put this […]

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: October 2018

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, Featured by on November 5, 2018 2 Comments

Probably the last full month of great tunes as releases dwindle near year’s end. Some high quality stuff. Too much to take in all at once. Presented in alpha (by artist) fashion by your favorite Alpha Male (I wish):

Democratic Legislative Leaders Disgrace Themselves

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 3, 2018 14 Comments

This calls for my second Casey Stengel quote in less than a week: The secret to being a successful manager is to keep the players who can’t stand you away from those who haven’t made up their minds yet. Scott Goss has a fascinating story which, unfortunately, he has butchered again. More on that in […]

Nov. 3 Open Thread: A Capitol Idea

Filed in Featured by on November 3, 2018 6 Comments

Yes, it looks like the D’s are poised to take the House of Reps. No, it doesn’t look like the D’s are gonna take over the Senate. But the largely under-the-radar story this year is what’s going on in the gubernatorial races. D’s are already looking at pick-ups in key states, with several races too […]

Here’s What Mike Ramone Did: Philly Daily News Covers The Scandal the News-Journal Wouldn’t

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 1, 2018 13 Comments

It’s sleazy, it’s a blatant conflict-of-interest,  and it includes a couple of pals of, wait for it, the ethically-challenged Joe Biden. Maybe that’s why the News-Journal wouldn’t cover it. Failure to cover this story is journalistic malpractice, which makes it all the more ironic that an alleged ‘reporter’ criticized this blog for covering it. Anyway, […]

El Somnambulo Predicts ‘Em All For You: Part 2

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on November 1, 2018 34 Comments

There will be some sort of a blue wave in Delaware. Only question is: How much of a Blue Wave? I don’t know. But I feel real good about my predictions, which factor in a bit of a blue wave, but not a blue tsunami. I think there will be a blue wave largely b/c […]

Why Greg Lavelle Wants To Change The Subject…

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on October 24, 2018 6 Comments

…from the fact that he has clearly violated campaign finance laws, I mean.  The guy who is always first to the microphone to allege misdeeds by others now claims that he’s the victim of some unwarranted election year scrutiny.  Setting aside that his misdeeds took place during an election year. This election year. In the […]
