Song of the Day 4/7: Robert Knight, “Everlasting Love”
Despite his smooth voice, Robert Knight only had one hit — this song, written expressly for him by Buzz Cason and Mac Gayden, who owned a record company in Nashville. The song itself, though, has been a hit over and over again, with covers reaching the Top 40 in the US in the ’70s (Carl […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, April 7, 2022
I know that, by now, you must be sick of reading my screeds about the blatantly corrupt Ft. DuPont project. A corrupt project whose fate will likely be sealed forever with the passage of HB 355 (Longhurst), which, among other things, gets rid of direct resident representation on the Board, and hands the corporation two […]
DL Open Thread: Thursday, April 7, 2022
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Set To Be Elevated To Supreme Court Today. Hey, we dodged the Breyer nightmare. That’s something: A final vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation is expected around 1:45 p.m. Eastern, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) told his colleagues Wednesday night. President Biden’s nominee, who is expected to draw […]
Bill McSwain – Very Openly Racist Candidate for PA Governor
This guy wants to put “criminals, rioters & looters in jail.” He wants to “restore freedom and law & order.” I wonder if he is talking about white “rioters and looters?” Of course he isn’t. So many GOP primaries will come down to who has the money to be the most racist on […]
Not HaHa Funny
It is funny to think that after the Dems get blown out in the midterms Hunter Biden and James Biden (who?) will be in jail and the Trump crime family will be walking around free as birds.

Song of the Day 4/6: Bobby Rydell, “Wildwood Days”
You have to be eligible for Medicare to have first-hand memories of Bobby Rydell, the South Philly teen idol from the early days of rock ‘n’ roll. He had his first hit at age 17, in 1959, and hit his peak in 1963, the year he appeared in the film version of “Bye, Bye Birdie” […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, April 6, 2022
I doubted that anybody would vote against the Ft. DuPont/Delaware City ‘Charter Change’ in the House. I was correct. Perhaps this is the time to call out ‘Mimi’ Minor-Brown. Representative, the official reorganization of the Delaware Democratic committees should be completed by May. At that point, you, not Valerie Longhurst, will represent the residents of […]
Are any young adults in your life planning on having kids?
Yup. We’re fucked. The Earth is basically done, so is anyone still having kids? I’m seriously asking. Do any readers with adult “kids” plan on being grandparents? I don’t. Are any grandparents reading this expecting their grandchildren to reproduce? It seems to me that (in addition to the climate going ka-plooey), a drastically shrinking young […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday April 6th 2022
Here is something that happened in April 1978: A concrete cooling tower under construction at a power station at Willow Island, West Virginia, collapses. All of the 51 construction workers on the scaffolding fell to their deaths. OSHA and the contractor agreed to settle the case for $85,500 (or about $1,700 per dead worker); no […]
Unlivable World
We’ve had a good 30 years to do something and now it is too late. Oh well. Being moderate and sensible, making friends with intractable loons on the right and carrying water for the energy sector was much too important.
Presenting the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), he said: “The jury has reached a verdict and it is damning.”
The report shows “a litany of broken climate promises” and stands as “a file of shame, cataloguing the empty pledges that are putting us on track towards an unlivable world”, he said.
Sounds bad, but just look at my stock portfolio! Smashing!
Song of the Day 4/5: Stevie Wonder, “Evil”
Stevie Wonder, whose albums made critics’ Top 10 lists in the ’70s, seems to have fallen into relative neglect in recent years — Marvin Gaye, not Wonder, is now considered Motown’s greatest 1970s artist. This makes sense — Gaye’s soul influenced a lot more modern music than Wonder’s funk and pop. But at the time […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, April 5, 2022
Hoo-boy, we’ve got some real interesting bills to talk about right off the bat. Take, for example, HB 372 (Osienski). The bill ‘regulates and taxes marijuana in the same manner as alcohol’. I honestly haven’t had time to look at the differences between this bill and the failed bill, but they’re similar. It’s still a […]
