DL Open Thread Monday, Sept. 2, 2024
The New York Times’ mollycoddling of Trump has gotten especially egregious lately, and you’re not the only one who noticed. Margaret Sullivan, the Times’ former public editor, calls them out for their recent whopper comparing Kamala Harris’ affordable housing plan to Trump’s, which is no better thought out than “we’ll deport millions of people.” I […]

DL Open Thread: Friday, August 30, 2024
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. […]
Song of the Day 8/29: Dire Straits, “Money for Nothing”
Whatever else he does, Donald Trump remains committed to the Art of the Grift. Amid his soporific campaigning and military cemetery lawbreaking, he found time to peddle a new line of so-called digital trading cards. This is as close as one can come to paying money for nothing, but Trump fans can be counted on […]
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.

Biden launched […]
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.
