Yes, It’s Horrific. Just don’t say ‘climate change’. Or (coming soon), ‘I wonder if my insurance will cover this’. Over 3 million customers w/o power as I post this. Don’t think anyone anticipated the severity of the tornadoes, which resulted in multiple deaths. Delaware Tries To ‘Big-Time’ NCC On Behalf Of Port Expansion. Aided and […]

An 8-day report is also required, as is a year-end report. Let’s see what has surfaced so far… Any doubts that Bill ‘Lumpy’ Carson […]

Feckless Joe Done Got Played. ‘Some’ people are placing him in the pantheon of great presidents. Here’s why he’s not: When Israel defied America’s appeals for restraint by invading Lebanon a few days ago, a reporter asked President Biden if he was comfortable with what had unfolded. “I’m comfortable with them stopping,” Biden replied plaintively. […]

Unsure of your Presidential pick? Might I suggest–Vermin Supreme? He is somehow on Delaware’s ballot as a candidate for the ‘Conservative Party Of DE’, which doesn’t strike me as particularly conservative: Vermin Love Supreme (1960 or 1961) is an American performance artist and activist who has run as a novelty candidate in various local, state, […]
Was The DelDems Coordinated Campaign Merely An LBR Vanity Project?
You’ll notice the use of the past tense. Word on the street is that indeed LBR’s team was functioning as the Party’s Coordinated Campaign team and that–they all just resigned and went back exclusively to LBR’s campaign. Candidates are being informed of this as the news surfaces in DL. Our local committee had a fleeting […]
What We’ve Accomplished, What We Need To Do

There’s more to do, coming later in this piece, but here’s what has already happened: Bethany Hall Long is toast. In a just world, she should and would be indicted for misuse of […]
Oregon Odds ‘N Ends
Needed to get these vacation thoughts out of my head so that I can return to (Memo To Self: Find a therapist) the harsh reality of Delaware politics: 1. The Buick Envision is a suck-ass car.

Coward Carney Vetoes End Of Life Legislation
Alternate Title: ‘Carney’s Discomfort Causes Excruciating Pain For The Terminally-Ill’. Waited until after the election to even retrieve the bill, then vetoed it almost immediately: In his veto letter to state lawmakers, Carney said he does not believe there is “firm consensus” on the issue within the medical community. “Although I understand not everyone shares […]
Things I Want To See Happen…
…while we’re visiting our daughter in Portland, Oregon where, BTW, we’re attending concerts by Fontaines DC and Orville Peck. 1. I want to see Matt Meyer achieve a rapprochement with DSEA. I especially want him to commit to being a Governor who prioritizes public schools, including the naming of a public school champion to be […]
