Trump indictment marks unprecedented moment in presidential history
A great month of musical discovery, best this year so far: Didn’t know how to alphabetize artists whose first digits are #’s. So, I just started with this one: Newsflash: The Beths. Still good: A roots stalwart working out the lower keys on the piano. He should’a been bigger: Discovering bands like this is why […]
The steamy Stormy Daniels saga: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/03/30/nyregion/trump-indictment-news Lest you wonder, the LLC that was created specifically to launder the money was incorporated right here in good ol’ Delaware.
OK, I’m confused (said Captain Obvious). Until it’s adjusted, here is today’s Senate Agenda. No bills, but a message reading as follows: “The Senate will reconvene on Tuesday, March 30, 2023, at 2:15 PM.” Would it be impolitic of me to point out that there is NO SUCH DATE? A glitch, no doubt. I’ll update […]
I was gonna go with something more involved, but I’m busy with houseguests, so never mind. If Paul Westerberg has ever explained the genesis of this tune from “Pleased to Meet Me,” the 1987 album the band recorded after dismissing wildman guitarist Bob Stinson, I’ve never found it. Some think it’s about Stinson getting canned. […]
Nazis Target The Trans Community. How else should I phrase it?: The Republican-dominated Kentucky legislature voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to override the governor’s veto of a bill that will create a host of new regulations and restrictions on transgender youth, including banning access to what doctors call gender-affirming health care. The bill, described by L.G.B.T.Q. […]
All Republicans are complicit in this. “Alvin Bragg – he’s on the verge of breaking the law for bringing fake charges against President Trump and politically attacking the top Republican presidential candidate of 2024,” Marjorie Taylor Greene said. (See video, posted by Patriot Takes, below.) “I’m telling you right now, once we cross this line […]
I may, on exceedingly-rare occasions, be just a tad hyper-critical of the work of the Delaware General Assembly. So, let me be clear: There has never, EVER, been a more progressive and effective political body in the State of Delaware than the current Delaware State Senate. In fact, none is even close. Yesterday was a […]
Singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur once remarked that there’s something about this song that makes people want to record it for charity. Arthur wrote it in 1995, about a friend who died of cancer, shortly before Peter Gabriel discovered Arthur and signed him to his record company. Gabriel recorded it the next year for a Princess Diana […]
Following up on yesterday’s “Biden is blowing it by chasing ‘the center’ ” story, today’s open thread is a hasty collection of “Democrats in Array” stories. Welcome to your end of month, half-assed open thread. Democrats eye plan to force vote on gun reforms over GOP opposition Claire McCaskill: Democrats need to run on […]
When I moved to Dover Delaware from New Jersey in 1975 I entered the 5th grade at William Henry Middle school. I had no idea that from 1952 until 1966 William Henry Middle School was the “William Henry Comprehensive High School”, the only high school for African Americans in Kent County. A showpiece school opened […]
In an historic session, the State Senate passed both HB 1 and HB 2 this afternoon. Since neither bill was amended in the Senate, they both now await action from the Governor. The Senate votes were overwhelming, and legislators I’ve talked to believe there’s a veto-proof majority in the House. I simply cannot overstate the […]
Delaware is the most rip-offy rip-off in higher education.
According to a 2022 State Higher Education Finance report, University of Delaware of net tuition revenue was more than twice the national average in 2021, at $16,517 per full-time student.
Net tuition revenue is the total amount of tuition and fees, minus state and institutional financial aid.
