You see what Trump’s doing, right? The exact same thing he’s done with his businesses for his entire career. Only with the Justice Department acting as his personal attorneys. He floods the zone with illegality, then he just draws everything out through the courts. Pretty much everything that has reached final resolution, which isn’t all […]
Don’t Tell Anybody…Great Musician To Perform At House Show Here This Saturday!
Probably only available to the first 50 to respond, so keep it to yourself. Well, 46, when you subtract tickets for my wife and I, and for our daughter and son-in-law. A New Jersey date fell through. We received the SOS this morning, and by 3 this afternoon, largely thanks to the quick work of […]

A Cardinal Fan?: Photo: The White House The Musk Myth As Kabuki Theatre? Howzabout a little schadenfreude to start your day?: It’s ornate. It’s stylized. It’s ritualized. And like all Kabuki, it is not meant to reflect reality—it is meant to perform power. But now, the performance is faltering. The cast is walking offstage. The […]
The New Castle County Democratic Convention
Well. That was quite the morning. Let me just say that I might be an unreliable narrator here, since I was there as a participant. And, yes, I won’t bury one of the ledes: I did shout at the Speaker of the House. We’ll get to that. Today’s convention was scheduled to approve proposed rules […]

Problem is, he’s done so much bad stuff that it won’t simply […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: April 2025
Lots of discoveries this month, along with some long-time faves. And short-time faves. My kind of month: Owww!: Discovered this band last year.
