Song of the Day 11/24: Dire Straits, “So Far Away”
Mark Knopfler wrote this song, which appeared on his band’s 1985 mega-hit album “Brothers in Arms,” about the difficulty of conducting long-distance relationships by telephone. Speaking from experience, even 35 years later, in the age of What’s App and Skype, it remains difficult, though at least the phone bills are lower. To illustrate how long […]
PLeAsE PESTER & AbUsE YOUr L0CAl SKollBOrED!!!!
Some dumb fucking conservative idiots have gotten into the habit of circulating “shocking” bullshit among themselves, then pretending that the shocking bullshit came from a school in the Caesar Rodney School District. The social media posts bout the “shocking things they are teaching in school” typically include calls to respond to the outrage, and “JAM […]
Whoa. Brian Pettyjohn Isn’t Going Anywhere.
DD has the story over at Blue Delaware, and I gotta admit, I didn’t see this coming. He wanted to go somewhere (Deputy Director For Sussex County Department of Elections). Ruth Briggs King wanted him to go somewhere. But it was kiboshed by: Only the GOP members of the Board of Elections could vote on […]
Song Of The Day 11/23: The Drifters, ‘Up On The Roof’
I retired from Trader Joe’s on Sunday. My right hip and my right leg made the decision for me. A fantastic 12-plus year run. The perfect post-career gig. Anyway, at least in part as a salute, they had on my fave satellite music station, ‘Mo-Soul’, during my shift. Nothing but soul and r & b […]

There’s more, perhaps much more, than meets the eye when it comes to his latest indefensible outburst. But first, for those of you who haven’t paid attention, here’s the story: The senator got into a heated verbal altercation with Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown, a New Castle Democrat, during a press event on Nov. 8 when Gov. […]

State Sen. McBride begins renewed push for paid leave in Delaware McBride says she’s confident the measure will pass next year, despite not having the support of the state’s largest business groups like the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce.

Song of the Day 11/22: Bennett Wilson Poole, “Soon Enough”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona UK Americana sounds like a contradiction, but don’t tell the British. A lot of fans and websites there are devoted to both contemporary and classic Americana (aka alt-country). Hovering over all this is the sound of the Byrds, who some would call the best or at least most important American […]
Empty Headed Journalistic Bothersiderism Isn’t Just for Democrats vs Republicans Anymore
In “Joe Biden Vs The Democrats” Jonathan Chait returns to the tired “both sides are at fault” trope. The twist is that by both sides he means progressive Democrats and Centerist Democrats – blaming them both equally for Biden’s failure to pass his agenda. For anyone paying attention, that is obviously nonsense. 1) It is […]

DL Open Thread Monday November 22nd
Rob Portman, (LAME DUCK-Ohio), and Chris Coons, (D?-Delaware), introduced bipartisan legislation to combat international wildlife trafficking. Maybe it’s a decent bill, maybe not. Knowing Coons, however, I’m going to go ahead and assume that the bill was drafted by lobbyists for the International Wildlife Trafficking Association. The real point of rolling out shit like this […]
Song of the Day 11/21: John Wesley Harding, “There’s A Starbucks (Where The Starbucks Used To Be)”
If John Wesley Harding were as popular with the public as he is with other musicians, he’d be a household name. Or would Wesley Stace be a household name? The former JWH now records under his real name, the one under which he teaches university classes and published four critically acclaimed novels. Whatever name he […]
