‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes of April 2018: Part Deux
Might even be stronger than Part Un. But that’s for you to decide: I’m 67 years old. Why do I find music from this teenager to be so compelling?: I want them at the Arden Gild Hall. Working on it…: They’re gonna be big. REAL big: We close with the most age-appropriate tune o’ the […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes For April, 2018: Part One
Best musical month of the year by far. So I divided this feature up into two parts with the songs organized in alphabetical order by title. BTW, Kamasi Washington’s ‘Fists Of Fury’ belongs here, but I could only find a one-minute snippet on Youtube. Well worth checking out, though. Time for some music: I want […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: May 1, 2018
Late-breaking news! Either PAL Longhurst was scared snitless, or she maybe has yet another amendment up her sleeve (Spoiler Alert: She does). HB 300 now appears on a revised House Agenda for today. You remember HB 300. It ‘makes it a crime to sell, transfer, buy, receive or possess a trigger crank or bump-fire device […]

1. Melissa Minor-Brown To Challenge Mike Mulrooney in RD 17. Well, they certainly differ on gun control issues. Mulrooney is proud of his association with the NRA, generally supports the NRA position on gun measures. Brown does not. Melissa Minor-Brown is listed as an RN with the VA. So, I hope that the new candidate […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., April 26, 2018
Interesting day in the Senate. The ‘Angel Investor’ bill, which was completely rewritten via this amendment, passed the Senate, but only by a 14-7 vote. The bill had passed unanimously in the House. With the Senate amendment now attached, the bill will return to the House for another vote. The no votes?: Bonini, Hocker, Lawson, […]
Meet Chris Johnson Tonight!
Final warning! My candidate for AG will be in Arden tonight for a Meet and Greet at the Buzz Ware Village Center. Wine and cheese will be served, free of charge. Good wine, good cheese from my private collection. The event starts at 7:30 and I invite all of you to join Chris and me […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 25, 2018
At least one gun-related bill is heading to the Governor’s office following a unanimous vote for it in the Senate. This bill, which creates emergency protocols to remove deadly weapons from those deemed a threat to themselves and others. While I understand that there may be some concerns from the ACLU that could require litigation, […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., April 24, 2018
The House and Senate leadership teams may well be the most ineffectual that I can remember. In fact, I’m struggling to think who comes in second. This is not me settling scores. This is a recognition of just how poorly they have mismanaged what should have been slam-dunk legislation to prevent mass carnage via deadly […]

1. Brandt Can’t. Won’t. Run. The ‘name on the ballot’ who the R’s convinced to run for the House seat currently held by Lisa Blunt Rochester is a name on the ballot no more. The, pardon the expression, aborted candidacy falls squarely on the shoulders of Mike Harrington, the out-of-his-depth Chair of the Delaware Republican […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., April 19, 2018
Senate President Pro-Tempore Dave McBride had an idea. It was, and remains, a good idea. He would post the Senate agendas for the entire week well in advance of Tuesday’s sessions. He has done so. Problem is, bills have been dropping from those agendas regularly. Yesterday, it was Ernie Lopez’s ‘DNREC, Get Off Of My […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., April 18, 2018
Let’s start with some rare, if modest, good news. Ernie Lopez’s Sussex County ‘Damn Revenooers’ bill has been excised from today’s Senate Agenda. OK, back to reality. Here’s yesterday’s Session Activity Report. Nothing surprising. Committee time, kids! Let’s investigate. Starting with the House. Just because. Highlights from today’s committee lineup: *HB 369 (Osienski) ‘expands the […]
Kathy McGuiness Goes After That LLC Money
No, not as a State Auditor committed to being your fiscal watchdog. As a candidate. As in contributions. From her profoundly depressing kickoff announcement: Individual Contributions are limited to $1,200 per person and LLC, per election. Does this mean that each one of, say, Bryon Short’s, or Michael Cohen’s, Delaware-based LLC’s could contribute up to […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., April 17, 2018
Let’s talk gun control legislation. Specifically, let’s discuss how the House D’s, in particular, invariably fall into the same Groundhog’s Day continuum. It’s either incompetence, or deliberate malfeasance. Here’s what’s bugged me for quite some time: Why do Pete Schwartzkopf and Val Longhurst insist on sponsoring the major gun control legislation? They aren’t in any […]
