The Guardian Provides Excellent Source Of Up-To-Date Ukraine-Russia News. A go-to resource. Cause/Effect: Trump plane (allegedly) makes emergency landing. Trump fund-raises for new plane. Which reminds me: Has anyone outside the Trump orbit confirmed the plane’s distress, or are we just once again believing serial liars? Some More Ft. DuPont Stink. It won’t dissipate, not […]
Remember When Senator Chris Coons Worked So Hard to Get All of Those Trump Judges Seated?
Nichols was one of those cases where Coons joined with Republicans and voted “Yea” to move the nomination out of Committee then “Nay” in the full vote when it didn’t fucking matter. A federal judge appointed by Donald Trump has, for now, just effectively destroyed the main case against a January 6 defendant by […]
Marijuana Legalization On Thursday’s House Agenda!
Here’s the bill. If your state rep is not on the bill as a sponsor, you know what to do. Do it.
Song of the Day 3/9: Sugarloaf, “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You”
As Americans face rising gas prices with their usual calm equanimity, a couple of slapdicks in the Middle East have decided they’re going to leverage their oil supply to issue ultimatums to the Biden administration. Biden has tried to call Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the UAE’s Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., March 9, 2022
FEATURING: NICOLE & VAL TRY TO PULL ANOTHER FAST ONE! But first, some real good news. The Paid Family & Medical Leave Act passed the Senate yesterday. All D’s voted for it. All R’s voted against it. I confess that I don’t understand some of the dismissiveness I’ve seen here on the blog. Some people […]

Some of you may remember when I was asking the hive mind about buying an EV vs and internal combustion automobile. Well I bought the EV and it has been great. Yesterday a co-worker told me he spent over $90 to fill his GMC pickup. He gets 16 miles per gallon and is very mad […]
What is Senator McBride Waiting For?
I mean other than waiting until after Family Leave crosses the finish line, can anybody give me a good reason why McBride shouldn’t run for Governor?
It is International Women’s Day – a day set aside to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women, after all.
Song of the Day 3/8: AC/DC, “Big Balls”
Everybody from pundits to peons is showing love for Voldomyr Zelenskyy, but nobody has put it better than Bon Scott and AC/DC did way back in 1976. Though it all blends together from this distance, the song and the album it appeared on, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” weren’t officially released in the US until […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 8, 2022
Paid Medical And Family Leave. I’ve been around so long that I can recall the debate on unpaid Medical And Family Leave. The Chamber warning of the ‘slippery slope’ this could lead to. Me thinking, “That’s a pretty good slippery slope.” Call today Slippery Slope Day. Sarah McBride has crafted a bill that, while less […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday March 8th 2022
Just take a look at this graph. We’ve got the most expensive third-world health outcomes money can buy! In Delaware we have a congressional delegation fully in the pocket of the for profit multi-billion-dollar health care industry. Our local legislators, to be honest, are no better. They’ve all been bought off and bribed in exchange for […]
Song of the Day 3/7: Every Mother’s Son, “Come on Down to My Boat”
This seems like a good time to get a bargain on a super-yacht, as governments around the world (not the US, yet) have begun seizing atop-the-liquid assets owned by oligarchs close to Putin. There are upwards of 10,000 boats of over 24 meters around the world, and a trade industry group estimates 7 to 10 […]
BREAKING: DeShanna Neal Announces Run Against Kop Kabalist Larry Mitchell!!
No way this was gonna keep until Friday. Mitchell has known for awhile, hence my ‘sweating bullets’ reference on Friday. Make no mistake, this is big. I see no way the Kop Kabal leadership can survive if Mitchell falls. And DeShanna Neal is a serious challenger. Here is how she first became an effective advocate: […]
DLOpen Thread Monday March 7th 2022
Let me ask you, the smartest political observers in Delaware, other than Paul Baumbach’s “Death with Dignity” legislation, Sarah McBride’s “Paid Family Leave” and Senator Pinkney’s SB149 to amend LEOBOR – are any elected Dems trying to actually get anything done? I only ask because it doesn’t seem like anybody has a burning desire to do […]
