The Dominion lawsuit against Fox “News” has provided receipts showing the Murdoch media empire is nothing but a propaganda arm of the international fascist movement, which isn’t news to anybody with a working set of critical faculties. Though we should never doubt the ability of the American justice system to fail at administering justice, a […]

Why does John Carney hate pedestrians? Among civilized states – Delaware has the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities “Your blogging licensing and registration, please” I hope this Desantis style “freedom” doesn’t come to Delaware.

And lo, the answer came forth clear…
Whan that new poll by Mason-Dixon fair
Did make its way unto the air
Conducted by the Fairness Campaign bright
A pro-LGBTQ rights group with mightThe question posed did bring to light
A topic of great moral right
Should state leaders have the power
To overrule parents’ wishes hour by hour?And lo, the answer came forth clear
From seventy-one percent without fear
Nay, say they, such laws should not exist
For parents’ wishes should always persistIn matters of their children’s lives
The power should rest in their hives
For who can know a child’s heart
Better than those who from birth did impart?So let it be known throughout the land
That parents’ wishes should remain grand
And state leaders should not interfere
In matters of their children dear.
Dear ChatGpt – In the style of Chaucer, can you write a about A new Mason-Dixon poll by the Fairness Campaign, that showed 71% of respondents oppose laws letting state leaders overrule parents’ wishes?
Song of the Day 3/6: Wayne Shorter with the Miles Davis Quintet, “Footprints”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona From Miles to the Multiverse. That’s the trajectory Wayne Shorter took as he established himself over a 67-year career as what the New Yorker called “the world’s greatest living jazz composer” and as maybe the finest saxophone player since the 1960s. Shorter, who died last week at 89, made his […]
Poll Results – This Week’s Poll: Who do you want to be Delaware’s next Lt Governor?
As to the question “Which issue should Bethany Hall Long pick to be her signature issue in the upcoming gubernatorial race?”
It was a dead heat with “Access to healthcare for women in post Roe Delaware (24%)” barely edging out “Continuing the work of the Carney admin (21%)” and “Addressing the wanton lawlessness of DE Cops through LEBOR reform (23%)”.
All of those are funny to me. “Addressing the wanton lawlessness of DE Cops through LEBOR reform” is perhaps the most hilarious. This has less than zero chance of being a concern of the possible Hall-Long administration. But it reminds me… Pete wants a special license plate for cops. I haven’t followed it closely, but what does the plate commemorate?
LEOBOR Today, LEOBOR tomorrow, LEOBOR forever! ?
Onward to this week’s
The floor is open and please note the wording is: Who do you WANT to be the next Lt Gov. So all you Tabatha fans, this is your moment.
