DL Open Thread Tuesday April 5th 2022
Sometime soon Chris Coons will be all over TV to crow over triumph of bipartisanship that was Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. Coons is the go-to quote-miester about how bipartisanship is America at its best and two Republican votes have warmed his heart and made his little Coonsie rock hard. And […]
Song of the Day 4/4: Wet Leg, “Chaise Longue”
This song went viral on social media last summer, and mainstream media picked up on it by autumn, but I didn’t hear it until last week, and it cracked me up. Wet Leg is Rhian Teasdale, who sings this tune, and Hester Chambers, two friends who live on the Isle of Wight, just off England’s […]
DL Open Thread Monday April 4 2022
Why does Delaware want to protect only the bad cops? That’s a great questions posed in the Delaware Call by RAE KRANTZ. By wrapping the bad cops in LEOBOR cotton, it’s as if certain Delaware State Senators couldn’t give a fuck about the good cops. I mean, imagine if 95% of anesthesiologists were good […]
The Case for Biden
I just want to remind everyone that the case for Biden (over Sanders) was that Biden had friendships and great working relationships with Republicans that he served with in the Senate. They would respect him and Biden would “break the fever” that the radicalized GOP was suffering from. So how’s that project going? Sens. […]
Song of the Day 4/3: Genesis, “The Carpet Crawlers”
Genesis, the venerable British band that pioneered prog rock in the ’70s and churned out synth-pop hits like clockwork in the ’80s, called it quits last week, 55 years after forming at a posh public school in Surrey. Their decision was prompted by the declining health of drummer-cum-frontman Phil Collins, who since 2017 had to […]

Merrick Garland: Justice’s Rain Delay. He would have been terrible on the Supreme Court–worse than Stephen Breyer. He’s enabling criminals and insurrectionists: The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself. As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner […]

Re: Clarence Thomas: D’s Are Total Wusses. The usual suspects doing the usual thing. Nothing: Given his wife’s role in encouraging the effort to overturn the election that culminated in the awful events of that day, Clarence Thomas should obviously recuse himself from any case having to do with Jan. 6. But what can Democrats […]
Settled Law
Let’s see…? We have a rabidly anti-labor Supreme Court and corporation (Amazon) saying that the NLRB interfered with the Staten Island Union vote. So, how long do you figure it will take for the Republican Court to overturn NLRB vs Jones Steele, and vacate that vote? When it happens I’m sure the sage legal minds […]
Zero Tolerance for Negativity!
Do you know how you know someone has been ejected from “the club”? The press is free to use the mugshot. McGuiness faces new intimidation details Employees castigated, reindictment states Melissa Steele April 1, 2022 State Auditor Kathleen McGuiness/FILE PHOTO A reindictment of State Auditor Kathleen McGuiness was issued by a grand jury March 28, […]
Delaware Political Weekly: March 25-31, 2022
1. Ex-Cop Who Is Being Sued For Sexual Harassment Running For State Senate. Yes, we’re talking about Steve Smyk, who is looking to ‘step up’ from his state rep seat (RD 20). Gotta say, that piece in the Cape Gazette is embarrassing, although there’s certainly truth in this: Smyk, and fellow Cape Region legislators Lopez, and […]
Song of the Day 4/1: Steve Miller Band, “The Joker”
The No. 1 hit that made Steve Miller a star is, in a way, the first song that owes its existence to sampling. Miller assembled it in large part from lines and riffs borrowed from earlier works, and not just his own. Everyone knows the first-verse lyrics quote tracks he recorded with earlier, bluesier incarnations […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, April 1, 2022
Not a big fan of April Fool’s posts. This will not be one of them. At least, not on purpose. Fools, however, will almost inevitably be present. Did Everybody See The First Semi-Expose Of Ft. DuPont In Mainstream Media? If not, you have now. While it doesn’t revisit the early years when disgraced former State […]
Hey, Jane Brady, Who Invited Lauren Witzke to Cocaine Orgies?
I always thought North Carolina bozo Madison Cawthorn, like most GOP congresscritters, was engaged in performance art. But that was before he talked about fellow Republicans snorting cocaine and inviting him to orgies. I don’t doubt it happened — my money’s on Matt Gaetz issuing the invite — but Cawthorn’s shock and indignation revealed him […]
