DL’s Open Source Candidate Questionnaire for People Running for the Office of Governor – Part 2 / DRAFT 1
I asked for your input and you gave it. When it is all done I’ll spring for the certified mail to make sure nobody lies and says that never got it. Here is what we’ve got so far: Dear —, [Insert some cover letter here, encouraging candidates to approach this questionnaire with sincerity, and thanking […]
Song of the Day 6/16: Pat Benatar, “Hell Is for Children”
We all realize that Republicans live in a heavily insulated bubble, but I don’t think we can grasp how weird it is in there. Every once in a while, though, one of them says something that shows they live in a very different world. Today’s example comes from Ted Cruz, who told some wingjob talk […]
Highlands Bunker – Are Multinational Billion Dollar Corporations Brazenly Using Delaware’s Corporate Law Cabal to Further Enrich Themselves?
There are some Highlands Bunker Episodes in which REV and the gang goof around a bit. This is not one of those episodes.
Are corporate lobbyists using the secretive process that updates the general corporation law to impact a pending settlement? Chance from Chancery Daily joins Rob in the bunker to talk about how an AMC case in Chancery Court might be affected by Delaware’s yearly update to the corporate law, and why the Delaware Way should be about integrity and not secrecy.

DL Open Thread: Friday, June 16, 2023
Southern Baptists To Wimmenfolk: You Ain’t Welcome Here: Two summers ago, an insurgent group of ultraconservative Southern Baptists branded themselves as pirates, vowing to “take the ship” of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination and steer it farther to the right on issues like sexuality and race. They were determined to halt what they saw as […]
Song of the Day 6/15: Rod Stewart, “Handbags and Gladrags”
Old-timers bitching about the feckless younger generation has been a constant throughout human history, and it always seems to find an eager audience. Consider this song, written in 1967 by Mike D’Abo, then the lead singer of British band Manfred Mann, chastising a teenage girl for skipping school and shopping for trendy styles. For those […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, June 15, 2023
In a rare crossover with the Open Thread, we can report that the Green Amendment cleared the House Administration Committee yesterday, and was immediately opposed by Delaware’s Secretary Of Agriculture Michael Scuse. When a Cabinet official opposes a bill, especially one from Carney’s select Band Of Team Players, it is not much of a reach […]

RIP Frank Biondi. There was a time when all respectable newspapers would publish obituaries that staffers had written for notable local figures who had passed. Frank Biondi was a highly-accomplished public-spirited citizen who made quite a permanent mark on Wilmington and on Delaware. From the obituary that someone had to pay for and to write: […]
He Sounds Like a Good Fit for the Trump Legal Team
One of Trump’s Few Remaining Lawyers, Todd Blanche, sued for malpractice A lawyer representing Donald Trump in multiple cases is facing legal troubles of his own, New York Law Journal reports. Todd Blanche and his former law firm, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, are being sued for malpractice by twin brothers Adam Kaplan and Daniel Kaplan, who allege Blanche […]
The Rick Jensen Show is Terrible
Joe Biden is senile. Joe Biden hates black people. Climate change is not caused by human activity. Joe Biden is an evil genius. Joe Biden hates America.
If you listen Rick Jensen, these things are not news to you. I’ve tried listening for a few days and can’t stomach more than a few minutes at a time. It is just truly dreadful.
Song of the Day 6/14: Frank and Nancy Sinatra, “Somethin’ Stupid”
Republicans are always saying something stupid, but it’s rarely “I love you.” When this song surged up the charts in 1967 the lyrics puzzled me — how could the singer spoil it all by saying “I love you”? Hey, I was 11, there were lots of things I didn’t know yet. At the time, nobody […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., June 14, 2023
Inscrutable Vote Department: We know that Delaware’s legislative Rethugs are a bizarre combination of climate change denialists and vocal opponents of any governmental interference into what they perceive to be their unfettered rights. So, you would expect the House R’s to unanimously vote against an otherwise innocuous bill that would ‘require new commercial buildings with […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday June 14 2023
Unequal Application of Justice! It’s official. Trump’s entire defense is Whataboutism. Very odd, but I guess it shows that there is really no legal defense so they are going for a political defense and betting that they can win in the Electoral College. Trump claims ‘political persecution’ in speech after arraignment Former president accused of […]
Whelp…the gays had a nice little run
When dipshit centrists played along with the right-wing’s anti-trans hysteria, they were fools to think the right-wing was going to be satisfied with disappearing trans people. I even remember a dipshit sober centrist commenter here joining in. Good times. It Was A Good Few Years, In Some Ways Back in the closet. Starbucks has banned […]
