Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending December 4, 2025
“We are kings of our bikes. So, we are again really lucky to live in Rehoboth, when we park a car, we have to get back into the car. We can hop on our bikes and our ritual is that we are always biking from our home to L(ewe)s. We do a little bit of […]
Song of the Day 12/4: The Beatles, “Rocky Racoon”
Things are so bad in this country that even the wildlife is getting hammered. A liquor store in Virginia was ransacked by a raccoon that was found passed out drunk on a bathroom floor.

Alina Habba, the pride of Widener Law School, has been disqualified as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey after an appeals court has ruled that the Trump administration’s ploy for appointing her is illegal.

Song of the Day 12/2: Green Day, “Brain Stew”
Trump’s rapid unraveling is getting hard to ignore, but I’m not seeing many stories about the man-child rage-tweeting into the wee hours to spout ever-more-incredulous fabblegab. My personal favorite: in the waning days of Biden’s administration, Michelle Obama wielded the Nefarious Autopen to “pardon key individuals.” Maybe he should take something for that insomnia. That’s […]

Song of the Day 12/1: Cat Stevens, “King of Trees”
The march of development can seem unstoppable, especially in eastern Sussex County.

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: November 2025
I was able to cobble together a surprisingly-strong (if not long) list o’ tunes this month. ‘Surprising’ in the sense that I don’t include songs from projects that aren’t coming out until next year. ‘Not long’ for the reason I just mentioned. Hope you enjoy: De La Soul?? In 2025? That’s right!: Jesse Sykes & […]

Song of the Day 11/29: “The Rebels”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona In his new PBS series about the American Revolution, Ken Burns doesn’t pull any punches when he describes many of the people who supported or fought for independence from England.
