Mentally-Unfit Candidates Unite Under The Trump Banner. What could possibly go wrong, especially since Kennedy hadn’t made a campaign appearance since early July? Doesn’t CNN Vet Its ‘Undecided’ Voters? Nope. Here’s the story of the one allegedly undecided voter on their panel who, following Harris’ speech, said he was now for Trump: A man introduced […]
‘Real Men Support Strong Women’
Guest Post By La Somnambula I read an article today about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and how he supports his wife Vice President Kamala Harris. He quit his job as a lawyer to follow her to Washington, D.C. (So did Michele Obama, so did Hillary Clinton, but I digress). He is a man who eschews […]
Just One More Thing BHL Won’t Talk To The Press About
More blatant Delaware Way shit, this time featuring all her buddies at the Department Of Elections. Tell me again why the State Senate didn’t bother asking Anthony Albence any questions when Carney reappointed him: State election officials in Delaware communicated directly with one or more aides in Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s office last year amid […]
Song of the Day 8/23: Songify This ft. Tariq, “It’s Corn”
One of the best things about summer in Delaware is something we take for granted. Yeah, I’m talking about sweet corn. So was Tariq when a YouTuber interviewed him for a channel called Recess Therapy a couple of years ago. The kid is so adorable talking about corn he went viral. When YouTube was young, […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #5A–Wilmington Mayor
Yes, kids, somehow I ended up with 11 races on my list of the 10 most intriguing primaries. (Not the first time this has happened–imagine you’re unveiling your list of your 50 fave songs of the year. You’re down to the top 20–and realize you only have nineteen songs remaining. I’ve been there.) I chose […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, August 23, 2024
You can all post your impressions of the Convention. Apparently it was a very successful night. Watching Leon Panetta babble on was my cue to go to sleep. Who thought that was a good idea? Also–no Beyonce?? What can I say? I’m hyper-critical. Loved the appearance of the Central Park Five. Saw no reason why […]
Song of the Day 8/22: Alicia Keys, “Girl on Fire”
I don’t know what song they’ll play when Kamala Harris takes the stage to deliver her acceptance speech tonight – the smart money would be on Beyonce – but they could do worse than this empowerment ballad. Alicia Keys made it the title track of her 2012 LP, and it’s one of the tunes the […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, August 22, 2024
Missed the proceedings last night. Did Bill Clinton bite his lower lip? The Case Of The Missing Pancreata: At least 7000 have vanished without a trace: There are some mysteries that I fear I’ll never see resolved. Who was DB Cooper and what happened to him? Who robbed the Gardner Museum of its Vermeer and […]
Voter Outreach, BHL-Style
I just got an unsolicited text message: Hi, this is Ethan with Bethany Hall-Long for Governor. Bethany is a career educator, nurse and public servant endorsed by Governor Carney, the DE Democratic Party, the DE State Education Association, and many other state leaders. She has a bold plan to make Delaware the best place to […]
Margie Lopez Waite: A Walking, Talking Conflict of Interest
Guest Post By The One-And-Only Kevin Ohlandt Of Exceptional Delaware. In the 27th State Rep. District, incumbent Eric Morrison will have a primary against Margie Lopez-Waite on September 10th. I felt it was necessary for the voters to know what Lopez-Waite stands for. It is all about positions she is already in that would create […]
Song of the Day 8/21: Jason Isbell, “Something More Than Free”
The Democratic National Convention on Monday night featured Jason Isbell performing the title song from his 2015 LP. That album was his commercial breakthrough – it went to No. 1 on Billboard’s rock, folk and country charts.
DL Open Thread Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2024
Big night at the Democratic National Convention, as both Michelle and Barack Obama showed off their skills. The contrast between the Obamas’ soaring oratory and Trump’s professional wrestling taunts and bluster could not be sharper. Look, clowns have their place – the circus. So if you let them run the country, they turn it into […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries: #5: RD 29
Perhaps nobody is more ill-suited to his district than is Bill Bush. A Delaware Way insider, he served as a House Attorney to the Kop Kabal, destroyed the choice of the Del-Tech Board of Directors in order to install Lonnie George’s Chosen One as Del-Tech President, and perhaps has been the leading pro-business/anti-grassroots Democratic legislator […]
