‘Tis A Puzzlement’. I scoped out the song from ‘The King And I’, and no, I’m not linking to it. However, we at Delaware Liberal are puzzled. In the past three days, someone, or some someones, have been going through literally thousands of old articles from our archives. Hey, we love the page views, but […]

Simple – catch a few z’s during one of those boring news conferencesthey’re always scheduling during nap time. The Washington Post analyzed the footage and found that Drowsy Don spent 20 minutes in the Land of Nod during Thursday’s press […]

Let me get this straight–Democrats win an overwhelming victory on Tuesday. The victory being largely due to voters’ disgust over Trump’s cruel policies coupled with his Gilded Age embrace of billionaires uber alles. The Dems take a brief victory lap until–a group of so-called ‘moderate’ Senators cut a deal with Rethugs that will likely leave tens […]

Yes, There Is An Opera Titled ‘La Somnambula’. And it’s apparently good, by opera standards: The soprano Nadine Sierra, center, as the title sleepwalker of Bellini’s “La Sonnambula” at the Metropolitan Opera.Credit…Sara Krulwich/The New York Times Some opera plots are so preposterous that their setting hardly matters. At first blush, Bellini’s “La Sonnambula” seems to […]
Song of the Day 11/8: Workhouse Boys chorus, “Food, Glorious Food”
It takes a Dickensian villain to ask a court to cut off food aid before Thanksgiving, and Trump was up to the task. Maybe young Donald saw “Oliver!” at an impressionable age and rooted for the bad guys, so he thinks the show’s opening number is an uplifting number showing cheerful orphans glad to get […]

Song of the Day 11/7: Alice Cooper, “Billion Dollar Babies”
Elon Musk and his stockholders sure showed Delaware Chancery Court. You think $56 billion in CEO compensation is excessive? How about … one TRILLION dollars? That’s how much Tesla will pay Musk if he meets “certain performance targets” over the next decade. Sure, car sales are down, but Elon’s new pitch is robots, so why […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending November 6, 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 […]

That’s A Wrap: Sandwich Guy Acquitted. I’m linking to this article b/c it made me laugh: Throughout the trial, the prosecution and defense characterize the sandwich throw as either ferocious (the prosecution) or frivolous (the defense). They employ language to match, staging a high-tension courtroom drama: “He takes the sandwich in his hand, he cocks […]
Song of the Day 11/6: Michael Sembello, “Maniac”
The race for title of Craziest GOP Congresswoman is always hotly contested. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Bobert, and Anna Paulina Luna all have their moments, but nobody is as crazy as Nancy Mace, and running for governor of South Carolina has proved it. Her now-legendary meltdown in an airport confrontation with TSA personnel last week […]

Looks Like A One-Bill Special Session In The Senate Today. Here’s the bill: An extension of the deadline for payment of property tax bills in New Castle County for the 2025-2026 tax year established under Chapter 135 of Volume 85 of the Laws of Delaware (House Bill No. 242, as amended by House Amendment 1, […]
Song of the Day 11/15: They Might Be Giants, “The Communists Have the Music”
A Democratic socialist – and a Muslim, no less! – is now the mayor-elect of New York City. Though Zohran Mamdani is a Democrat, he had to overcome the opposition of both major parties to win. And he managed to gather more than 50% of the vote against Republican Curtis Sliwa and defeated-in-the-primary Democrat Andrew […]

Hope. Hope I haven’t felt in 365 days. The election results reflect nothing less than a total repudiation of Trump and Trumpism by the American people. Other than a couple of ‘stick-in-your-eye’ ballot measures in Texas, the news was all good. Here are some results you may have missed, no, wait. Before I do that, here is […]
