DL Open Thread: Sunday, August 4, 2024
The Agony And Joy Of Defeat. You really thought I’d miss this story?: French athlete Anthony Ammiratiwas getting in his own way at the Summer 2024 Olympics. The 21-year-old pole vaulter missed out on the chance to win an Olympic medal on Saturday, Aug. 3, after he missed his target height when his crotch got caught […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, August 3, 2024
Has Trump Become Fat Elvis? Who am I to say no?: He used to seem so formidable, a very real threat to American democracy, the pal of dictators around the world. Now even Putin is dissing him, cutting the very prisoner deal with President Biden that Trump said a few weeks ago the Russian dictator […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, August 2, 2024
If you only listen to one of the Rev’s podcasts this year, make it this one. This is why Erik Raser-Schramm is one of my favorite people of all-time. Check it out. Biden Finalized Prisoner Swap While Withdrawing From Presidential Race. A truly great accomplishment, quite an example of compartmentalization: For a president who pledged […]
The Meyer Request For The Feds To Investigate BHL’s Finances Is Official
Here is the letter that the campaign sent: July 31, 2024 United States Attorney for the District of Delaware David C. Weiss United States Attorney’s Office P.O. Box 2046 Wilmington, DE 19801 Dear United States Attorney Weiss: I am writing to respectfully request that the United State Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware open […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July, 2024
While few months can ever match last month for music, these tunes are quite satisfying, with a few genuine stunners in the mix. Think of it as that follow-up album that people only grow to appreciate years later. Or–just enjoy the tunes: Nathan’s Fave?: I hear echoes of Whiskeytown. If you don’t know ’em, you […]
A VERY Special DL Open Thread: Thursday, August 1, 2024
I can’t sleep. I’m writing this at 1 a.m. Ever since I started here at Delaware Liberal back in 2009, my overriding theme has been the toxicity of the Delaware Way, and how that inside deal-making has slowed and sometimes halted real progressive gains here. Democrats and Republicans consistently placed the interests of Delaware’s wealthy […]
Has The Delaware Democratic Party Dropped Its Endorsement Of BHL?
And/or are they just downplaying it? I ask because I got the following blurb from the Party regarding what happened in July: Steve, July was a quiet month for Delaware Democrats… said no one ever! 😅 If you blinked, you might have missed the whirlwind of political milestones we just experienced. Let’s take a quick […]
Donald Trump: “Now She Wants To Be Known As Black.”
He was better off out of public view: “I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” Later he said “she was Indian all the way” […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #8–New Castle County Council President
I’ve never understood why someone would run for this office, one where you have to campaign countywide (or, come to think of it, not), when you can run for a district comprising one-twelfth of the county. Especially since each vote on Council counts the same. Regardless, five Democrats have chosen to run for this seat, […]
It Takes A Village…
…TO UNCOVER ALL OF THE GRAFT IN BHL’S OPIOID SLUSH FUND. You, my friends, comprise that village. Let’s all do this together. First, the raw materials.

Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to identify grants […]
BREAKING: Matt Meyer Calls For Federal Investigation Into BHL’s Campaign Finances
He made the call today at a downtown press conference. I attended. To be honest, there was a relative paucity of detail. Meyer didn’t specify what alleged criminal activity he wanted the Feds to investigate. No, the campaign had not yet sent a letter to the Feds. However, campaign manager Nick Merlino said that the […]
DL Open Thread: Sunday, July 28, 2024
Been watching the political attack ads, interrupted, albeit briefly, by the Olympics. Can we simply recognize the fact that the Delaware Way denizens are just pushing their chips all in on Bethany Hall Long’s candidacy? They’ve become the Democratic equivalents of MAGAts in that they are now overlooking what is clearly criminal behavior in order […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, July 27, 2024
Y’know, Trump makes ‘Low Energy Jeb’ look downright peppy. As someone pointed out on one of those news shows, optimism almost always wins in an election. Trump looks flat-out miserable. And Vance is already a disaster of Palinesque proportions. I hear that the Harris campaign is gonna have a ‘white dude’ event next week. I […]
