‘Bulo’s 2011 Top 10 MVPs (Most Valuable to the Progressive Cause)

Filed in Delaware by El Somnambulo on December 13, 2011 • 16 Comments

2011 was a mixed year for progressivism in Delaware. We saw tremendous strides on social issues, especially equal rights for all Delawareans. We also saw the ongoing embrace between prominent D elected officials and the Billionaires on the Hill, to the detriment of the other 99%. We saw the emergence of the ‘We Are the 99%’ movement via OWS which, nationally was the best thing to happen for the progressive cause since 1964. We saw ongoing corruption, inbreeding and cronyism in the Delaware General Assembly. We saw the first legitimate attempts to challenge the rot at the core of the Delaware Way.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

President Obama, like most Presidents in this “Tough on Crime” era of the last 40 years, has been a veritable teetotaler when it comes to using his Pardon Power.

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg doesn’t want any tax increases on the wealthy and has been an opponent of the Occupy Wall Street movement…… and Ralph Nader wants him to run for President, a few weeks after praising Sarah Palin’s intelligence. Other than Republicans, there is no politician I hate with a blinding passion more than Ralph Nader.

The big news is that we can no longer pretend that Gov. Jack Markell has any concern for those who have struggled due to the prolonged economic downturn. While proposing cuts for Medicaid recipients, cutting scholarship assistance to Delaware college students, squeezing state employees’ benefits by calling them ‘unsustainable’, Gov. Markell has relentlessly pushed for […]

The General Assembly is back for a two-week sprint to its next recess. While there’s no way they’ll match the productivity of the pre-Easter session, which was downright historic, there’s gonna be quite a bit of action. Protection for those facing foreclosure, and consideration of the legalizing of marijuana for medical purposes are but two […]

Time to call the Diminutive Despot’s bluff. Tony DeLuca’s SB 50, which would putatively open the entire Senate redistricting process to the public, passed unanimously in the Senate. It was a cheap and free vote. Unless…the House Speaker, (a) recognizing the sincerity of the Napoleonic Martinet, with which he has plenty of first-hand experience; and […]
