Song of the Day 3/28: Hot Tuna, “Water Song”
A chemical spill into the Delaware River above Philadelphia has led to warnings about the safety of the city’s drinking water, triggering a run on bottled water. “Water Song,” an instrumental by guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, appeared on “Burgers,” Hot Tuna’s third LP and first proper studio recording. Its success convinced Kaukonen and bassist Jack Cassidy […]
We have to appeal to the 5% of voters in “the middle”
It seemed like Biden was breaking away from that toxic bullshit that crippled so many Democratic campaigns and candidates. Sadly, no. What the Heck Is Joe Biden Thinking Lately? After his historic midterm wins, he’s suddenly tacking right. A new hire may be why. Perhaps that’s no surprise: These Obama-style policies have coincided with a […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 28, 2023
Will Lucy pull the football away from Charlie Brown yet one more time? I’ve had some legislators tell me that they believe they have a veto-proof majority in the House should John Carney once again tap into his inner Junior ROTC and veto the two pot bills, both of which are almost certainly gonna pass […]

Lauren Witzke is a disgusting piece of shit. I can say that because the truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Couple sues Lauren Witzke for saying birth of their surrogate twins is ‘human trafficking’ …”Rather than congratulating Plaintiff on one [of] the happiest moments in his life, or perhaps just ignoring Plaintiff’s happy post, […]

Poll Results – 6 in 10 DL readers and lurkers think Senator Chris Coons is the ABSOLUTE worst
Not a surprising result when you consider the fact that Senator Chris Coons likes to show off being horrible, whereas Carper has a more ho-hum, workaday approach to being one of the two worst Blue State Senators in congress.
As for this week’s poll. I’ll be curious to see how Karen Hartley-Nagle fares. Whoever read her the riot act after her constant fuckups early on deserves an award of some sort. I’ve never seen a Delaware politician rescue their viability by simply shutting the fuck up.
Marcus Henry Vs. Karen Hartley-Nagle who do you THINK WILL WIN? Not who do you want to win.
Song of the Day 3/27: Graham Parker, “That’s What They All Say”
This one’s for all the MAGAts who either don’t realize or want to ignore that they’re in a cult. “That’s What They All Say” was the second track on “Heat Treatment,” Parker’s second LP with backing band the Rumour, released in 1976. The tune is usually described as a Dylanesque put-down, but the production by […]

Universities and businesses closed. Millions in the street…The protests in France and Israel remind me of the all out (all in?) protests that would have followed Pence caving to Trump and preventing the EC vote count. If mere “minority rule” turns into something even worse, I suppose we’ll still get our chance. Tens of […]
The snowflake’s veto
Florida student’s ‘discomfort’ causes cancellation of civil rights class Alex Wagner relays reporting of the cancellation of a U.S. government class at Eastern Florida State College after a student felt “discomfort” over a discussion of civil rights, seen as an indication of the successful terrorizing of the Florida academic system by Ron DeSantis even with […]

Hey Coons and Carper – Thanks for the expensive medical insurance that sucks ass
Better get out and enjoy this beautiful day. You don’t have many beautiful days left. Just before Christmas, federal health officials confirmed life expectancy in America had dropped for a nearly unprecedented second year in a row – down to 76 years. While countries all over the world saw life expectancy rebound during the second […]
Song of the Day 3/25: Elvis Costello, “(I Don’t Want to Go To) Chelsea”
“Ted Lasso” has legions of fans, but I seldom hear anyone mention its savvy use of popular music. Most shows nowadays mine the charts for songs that will heighten a scene’s impact, but I don’t know of any others that employed musicians who are real-life buskers, as the show has in its first two seasons.
