Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #2–RD 15
Two in one day? Why? Because early voting has begun, and this story just HAS to be told to as many voters as possible. Besides, I finished it early. Pull up a chair, folks, this is gonna be a long one. Incumbent Val Longhurst, heretofore to be referred to as Our PAL Val, embodies everything […]
Song of the Day 8/28: Panda Bear and Sonic Boom, “Gettin’ to the Point”
Maybe it’s the weather, maybe it’s the Kamala afterglow – today calls for some sunshine pop. Panda Bear (Noah Lennox) is part of the Animal Collective, a group of songwriter/producers who work together, separately and in various combinations on projects that usually bring an electronic/techno sensibility to pop, or vice versa. Sonic Boom (Peter Kember) […]
AG Jennings Goes There!
It’s where anybody who is paying attention should have already gone. Bethany Hall-Long has engaged in so much illegal and unethical activity that any reasonable person should realize that she absolutely should not be our next Governor. This unethical activity pretty much started when she first ran for office and (a) her husband stole her […]

Count on Donald Trump to screw the unscrewable pooch. Seeking to dispel the accurate charge that he has contempt for the U.S military and those who join it, Trump’s team took him to Arlington National Cemetery for a photo op proving that he does too like the troops, even if he calls them “suckers.” Just […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #3–RD 14
Yesterday, I wrote this: If you’ve been following the ‘most intriguing’ races series, you will note an overriding theme to most of the races–there’s a Delaware Way candidate and there’s someone challenging the Delaware Way. The Delaware Way in Dover reflects the insider casual corruption of Pete Schwartzkopf, Our PAL Val Longhurst, and their enablers. […]
Flag of the Month: The 51-Star Flag of Puerto Rican Statehood
Guest post by Jason 330 “USA! USA! USA!” I’m not a big “USA!” chant guy, but when this chant was raised at the DNC, I loved it. I loved how Harris ripped the flag away from the party of insurrection and poked them in the eye with the golden eagle. No. If fascism comes to […]
Song of the Day 8/27: Oasis, “Some Might Say”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona So the rumors were confirmed this morning. The battling Gallagher brothers will bring back Oasis after 15 restless years and separate solo careers. It would have been hard to turn down the estimated $50 million the tour will bring. Noel’s on the hook for a huge divorce settlement, but there […]

The wind at the Democratic Party’s back might get a little stronger as the election approaches. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled he will cut interest rates in response to falling inflation stats and soft job-creation numbers. If elections are still about the economy – highly doubtful when society is menaced by the Coalition of […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #4–RD 21
You all know Dr. Frank Burns. He almost defeated Mike Ramone in 2022 and likely hastened Ramone’s decision to abandon his home turf for Sussex County. And a race for Governor. Burns is a true progressive, twice endorsed by WFP, who has helped to train other progressive candidates for office. He gives back. His campaign […]
Song of the Day 8/26: Sam Moore and Isaac Hayes, “Hold On, I’m Comin'”
Trump is in legal trouble again, this time over music. The estate of Isaac Hayes has been granted an emergency hearing in its lawsuit against Trump’s campaign for repeatedly using “Hold On, I’m Comin’,” the Sam & Dave hit that Hayes wrote with David Porter, without permission at his rallies. (Odd choice for an adjudicated […]

Admit it, you had no idea the Kamala Harris candidacy would be this popular. Her campaign announced it has raised $540 million since Joe Biden bowed out, which works out to about $100 million a week. Now you know why Trump is jealous. Trump is running scared, all right. Now he’s making noises about backing […]
Song of the Day 8/25: Tim Grimm, “Broken Truth”
Guest post by Mike Dinsmore I am relatively new to Tim Grimm. Or should I say that Tim Grimm is relatively new to me. I’ve had his album “A Stranger in This Time” (2017) for about four years, and it disappeared into my huge stack of CDs that I listened to once and then stored […]

Of Runzas And Hot Pockets. Pretty sure you can put that single Nebraska electoral vote in the D win column…: A Runza, for the uninitiated, is a German-style meat and cabbage sandwich sold by a Nebraska-based hamburger chain of the same name. Walz’s caravan stopped at a Runza restaurant, at 77th and L Streets on […]
