General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., May 10, 2023
It’s official: Eric Buckson is the wannabe leader of the Rethuglican Party. Either that, or he just can’t get enough of his own stentorian stylings. Or both. It’s like he’s channeling John Wilkes Booth who, lest we forget, was an AC-tor. A self-important strutting peacock. Yesterday, he voted against the so-called Consent Agenda in the […]
BREAKING: Jury In Trump/E. Jean Carroll Case Returns Verdict Of…
No On Rape (Intercourse). Yes On Sexual Assault. $2 Mill Damages For That. More to come, but the jury has awarded Carroll around $5 mill due to various findings of defamation in addition to the sexual assault finding.
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 9, 2023
Looks like another ‘low-hanging fruit’ day in Dover. Meaning, little of consequence with virtually no conflict. Although–every week brings us closer to the end of Speaker Pete’s reign, assuming he is true to his word. Anybody with some inside skinny is welcome to hit up our tip line. Time for me to start asking around. […]
R. I. P. Dave Brady
David D. Brady was one of the most well-adjusted people to ever serve in the Delaware General Assembly. Down-to-earth, never full of himself, committed to serving his constituents. He ably served his Claymont constituents for twenty years until a blatant gerrymander cost him his seat in 2002. His priority was always constituent service, and he […]
DL Open Thread: Sunday, May 7, 2023
‘Thoughts And Prayers’ For Texas Gun Victims. This. Is. Intolerable: A gunman opened fire on an outlet mall in a Dallas suburb on Saturday afternoon, killing at least eight people — including children — and injuring at least seven others before he was fatally shot by a police officer, authorities said. Children were among the […]
DL Open Thread: Saturday, May 6, 2023
I’m tossing in my nickname for Eric Buckson, along with his (not-so politically correct) theme song: You’re welcome. Good luck getting that song out of your heads. Drip, Drip, Drip. Phony Georgia Electors Granted Immunity: Prosecutors for Georgia’s Fulton County have granted immunity to at least eight people under investigation for conspiring to overturn Georgia’s […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, May 5, 2023
If you read only one Open Thread today, make it this one! Because the tides are turning (in one case, literally), and it’s beginning to feel like Watergate Summer. As in drip, drip, drip. Starting with the rusty orange drip: A New ‘Deep Throat’ Threatens Trump On Hiding Of Classified Documents: Federal prosecutors investigating former […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, May 4, 2023
Two disappointing, but not entirely unexpected, committee results headline today’s wrap-up. HB 104 (Bush), which yet again expands the ability of developers to avoid most oversight, cleared the Senate Housing & Land Use Committee. When the Chamber and the Building Trades join forces, there’s not much you can do. HB 96 (Morrison), which would enable […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, May 4, 2023
The Family That Rules Montana. As in, the man who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee; his daughter, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee; and his son, who is the Speaker of the House. They are Christian conservatives with decidedly un-Christian views: During a legislative hearing in 2011 that was a prelude to Montana’s debates on abortion, State […]
The Cook Report Casts Its Eyes On–Sarah McBride
While we’ve written about most of these scenarios here, the fact that a major national political news source reports this is damned exciting. Especially since everybody in Washington reads this. It’s a piece looking at the at-large Congressional seat in Delaware: DE-AL: Lisa Blunt Rochester (D) – Entire state Solid Democrat. First elected in 2016, Blunt Rochester […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., May 3, 2023
Thumbs-up to the General Assembly’s work yesterday. SS1/SB 2(Lockman) passed the Senate on a straight party line vote of 15-6. Meaning, both Kyra Hoffner and Russ Huxtable voted for it. With a seemingly exponential increase in gun violence, the NRA’s wilful mangling of what the Second Amendment means is becoming less popular by the day. […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 2, 2023
Big day in the Senate. ‘Permit To Purchase’ is first on the Agenda. It will pass. Whether we have the marathon debate, or whether the opponents hold their, pardon the expression, fire, for the House, remains to be seen. I’ve heard the debate so many times that I likely won’t watch. As always, the part […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: April 2023
What strikes your fancy or, in the case of dance numbers, your fanny?: Might want to do the Horizontal Mambo to this one: MY kind of band!: Already the second song from this artist to make it on to my Best-Ofs this year. Love the Toni Morrison mash-up: Whoa. Last-minute addition, and it’s quite a […]
