The Primary’s Over, But BHL’s Corruption/Ineptitude Continues Unabated.  Turns out she handles her office’s FOIA duties as well as she and Dana handle the family finances: The office of Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long may have violated Delaware’s open records laws by not responding to Freedom of Information Act requests for several years encompassing nearly her […]

Things I Want To See: Post-Primary Edition

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on September 11, 2024 42 Comments

In no particular order.  Feel free to add your own: Someone needs to immediately stop BHL from disbursing any more money from her opioid slush fund.  Especially to herself. I want to see Matt Meyer make government transparency and openness a key issue in his campaign and, one hopes, his administration.  The voters have eliminated […]

Been waiting for this day since 2008.  The week between Christmas and New Years.  The day you stormed into my office, tore down my posters from the wall, told me I was fired and had twenty minutes to vacate the premises, and thrust a letter in front of me saying I had resigned and told […]

A Pre-Post-Mortem

To me, this is the lede that must not be buried: The Delaware Democratic Party, DSEA, and several other groups of whom you might expect better,  endorsed Bethany Hall-Long for Governor even though they knew about her violation of campaign finance laws and other various and sundry unethical activities. They knew, at least in part, […]

Real Headline Of The Day: Scientists use food dye found in Doritos to make see-through mice My unassailable theory:  Scientists eat way too many Doritos. Tenet Is No More.  You know, the Tennessee-based RWNJ disseminator of Russian propaganda.   Isn’t treason defined as ‘giving aid and comfort to the enemy’.  Try these assholes for treason: A […]

I hereby take a timeout from moderating the blog to trying to write the daily Open Thread post.  Moderating ain’t easy, especially when one is not a moderate.  Can’t recall a year where there’s been more ‘working of the refs’.  But, I digress. Nobody Has Ever Seen The Likes Of This Trump Article Ever Before.  […]

Wasn’t gonna do this.  But, I can’t help myself. US Representative:  Sarah McBride (D) and Donyale Hall (R).  Assuming, of course, that anybody turns out to vote in the Republican Primary. Governor:  Matt Meyer (D) wins, doesn’t quite get to 50%.  Let’s say 46%, BHL 32%, O’Mara 22%.  Can’t wait for the Delaware Way implosion […]

The most important item(s) you’ll read all day is/are in the comments section of the Lydia York article.  Suffice it to say that the State Democratic Party’s embrace of a nominee as consistently corrupt as Bethany Hall-Long is an utter disgrace.  And spare me the bullshit about the democratic process that led to her endorsement.  […]

Let’s not bury the lede:  In recent Delaware history, meaning as far back as I can remember, there has NEVER been a candidate with such a lengthy litany of unethical and illegal behavior like Bethany Hall-Long.  From the beginning of her political career up to the present, her actions and those of her husband create […]
