The Dickiest Move Of All-Time?
Donald Trump, via executioner Jeff Sessions, fires Andrew McCabe 26 hours before he’s set to retire. After the Friday News Dump. You know, in order to screw him out of his full pension. Trump reacted in typical presidential fashion: Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hard working men and women of the FBI […]

1. Sean Lynn Endorses Kerri Harris. Lynn has guts, and I salute him for it. You just know that, even those who might support Harris, are gonna hide in the shadows, afraid to challenge the status quo. Not Lynn. Oh, and he doubles down here. If you’re with him and Kerri, you can sign up […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., March 15, 2018
We hear all the time about the NRA’s bullying tactics. And it’s true. However, when faced with a Hall full of students demanding gun control measures, the NRA cowers in the corner. Legislators, take note. Schoolkids accomplished what you couldn’t/wouldn’t do for decades. All of the gun bills are out of their respective committees, and […]

Oh, no, we’re not letting the House cowards who couldn’t even vote to ban bump stocks off the hook. Yes, the bill passed, 25 yes, 3 no, 11 not voting. 14 representatives who somehow can’t vote to ban something that turns killing machines into even stronger killing machines. Two of the three no’s were from […]
Carper And Coons: ‘The Real Enemy Isn’t The Banks. It’s…Elizabeth Warren’
Yep, the DINO senators who voted to radically reduce oversight of some of the biggest and most corrupt financial institutions are blaming Elizabeth Warren for outing them. By name. I say, first outing, then ousting. The money quote from this article?: “If Warren’s colleagues didn’t want to be criticized as Wall Street-owned hacks, then they […]

For starters, there indeed was one vote of note on Tuesday. I mean one vote by one legislator. To quote my favorite political commentator (me): Today’s House Agenda is highlighted by a piece of ‘transparency’ legislation. HB 92 (K. Williams): …provides that every member of the General Assembly or person elected to state office shall […]

March 3 Open Thread: The Scold Has No Clothes
It’s not just me who thinks Kevin Ohlandt made an ass of himself by trying to smear Rep. Mike Ramone . Fealty to the NRA might finally have become a political loser.

1. And Then There Were None. Announced R candidates for AG, that is. Tom Neuberger has dropped out to, what else, represent a plaintiff in a high-profile liability suit. In this case, this plaintiff in this suit. Let’s see, the Rethugs ‘discouraged’ the pro-marijuana guy from running…no word yet on whether they are gonna scrape […]

Man, what a week. 1. Rep. Bryon Short Retires. The Special Election that propelled Short into the General Assembly was a watershed event for the Democratic Party, especially for the Party in suburban New Castle County. Let’s first recount what happened. Fresh off of his reelection victory in 2006, House Majority Leader Wayne Smith (Delaware’s […]
Carney To Prospective Breast Cancer Patients: Drop Dead
OK, even I grant you that the headline is a bit alarmist. But not much. John Carney has proposed parking the state mammography van. Alleged savings: $277,000. Because this brain-dead aparatchik can’t envision a scenario where Delaware’s wealthiest pay more in order to protect those who can’t afford mammograms. 1005 women, mostly black or Hispanic, […]
