When America Surrenders to Fascism, Will You Stay or Go?
The item below was posted to the “Even More Patriotic Patriots for Delaware” FB page. I agree with the sentiment 100%. The Democratic Party “leadership” doesn’t have any fight in it, mostly because they are doing ok, and suppose they will continue to do ok event after the end of democracy. Many of them are […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Nov. 26-December 3, 2021
1. Kyra Hoffner Seeks D Nomination In 14th Senate District: The stakes are too high right now to sit on the sidelines. We need people like us in government, making decisions and helping to steer our community in a better direction. Eight years ago, I started volunteering and advocating for civic rights and against unjust […]

Rethugs Will Pay The Price When Roe v Wade Is Overturned. Here’s why the Democratic ‘gloom-‘n-doom’ narrative perpetuated by Politico and (oxymoron alert) centrist think-tanks can be obsolete almost overnight: What’s clear is that Republicans are already ducking for cover on abortion. But GOP wishful thinking aside, if the Supreme deals a major blow to […]
Flag of the Day – Haiti
I mentioned Haiti in the last one of these, and as it happens – Haiti’s flag as an origin story. This is it, in brief. Sugar cultivation in what was then Saint-Domingue was a real shit show for the slaves – but GREAT for the French Barrons, merchants and traders who amassed fortunes! What was […]
Song of the Day 12/2: Paul McCartney creates “Get Back”
I haven’t seen “Get Back” yet, but I’ve noticed two common elements in many of the reviews I’ve seen — it’s really long, and there’s an amazing moment when, as the rest of the band waits for John Lennon, Paul McCartney creates “Get Back.” I’ll save you about 8 hours: Here’s that moment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kOQ5sgzhRA

BREAKING: Auditor’s Office Has Spent $262,000 On Attorney’s Fees Since 2019: Nobody’s Talking. Articles like this are why I subscribe. From Xerxes Wilson’s piece: In the same time period during which Delaware state Auditor Kathy McGuiness is accused of a felony for intimidating employees under her leadership, public documents show taxpayers have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on outside […]
Song of the Day 12/1: Oasis, “Some Might Say”
Some might say that being snowed in at a remote Yorkshire pub over a long weekend with an Oasis tribute band would be an over-enthusiastic illustration of Sarte’s hell. Indeed, some already have. You can bet most of those people are not Oasis fans, and that they wouldn’t have braved a blizzard forecast to hear […]
‘Flutegrass’, Anybody?

Flag of the Day – Barbados
The Babados flag consists of a triband of two bands of ultramarine, which are said to stand for the ocean surrounding the country and the sky, separated by a golden middle band, which represents the sand. A black trident head, commonly called the broken trident, is centred in the golden band, and the fact that […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: November, 2021
A surprisingly strong month, especially considering that I did not include any music that will be on albums released in 2022. The final monthly installment of the year, as I start to put together my 50 Fave Tunes list for 2021. Enjoy!: What? An Adele song? C’mon, admit it. You loved ‘Chasing Pavement’, too. Not […]
Song of the Day 11/30: Josephine Baker, “J’ai Deux Amours”
Though you’ll find no mention of it in American media, a famous American-born entertainer today received one of the highest honors France can bestow — Josephine Baker was interred at the Panthéon in Paris, the first Black woman to join the ranks of the country’s most distinguished citizens in the famous mausoleum. Born in St. […]
When Did Delaware’s ‘Pharmacist Of The Year’ Last Fill A Prescription?
No, acting as a guest Pill Pusher at raves doesn’t count. Here’s what we know: First, she’s been State Auditor for three years now. Does/did she have a side gig? Unlikely. Here’s what you may not know: McGuiness sold her pharmacy in, wait for it, 2002. 2002. We’re talking pre-Park City. She then went into […]
