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
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 […]
Yes, Val. It Was Personal.
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. […]
What The Fuck??!!
BREAKING NEWS: Branden Fletcher Dominguez is out of primary?? Here’s what just arrived in my e-mail: On Friday, August 30th, the Department of Elections reached out to my campaign requesting documentation by Tuesday of this week that I unfortunately was not in a position to provide. After communication with the Department I have decided to […]

Don’t See Many Stories Like This One: More than $100,000 in Apple products that were being shipped from Delaware to China have been seized, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced on Wednesday. Customs and Border Protection officials said the parcel’s manifest — the document containing shipment information — undervalued the packet by a little […]
El Somnambulo Picks Some Of ‘Em For You
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 […]

More Israeli Blood On Netanyahu’s Hands: Outrage mixed with grief in Israel on Sunday, with many Israelis directing their anger at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the news that six bodies found in Gaza were dead hostages. Advocates for hostages and members of Mr. Netanyahu’s political opposition swiftly accused the Israeli leader of torpedoing monthslong […]

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. […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #1–Democratic Governor
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 […]
