Partisan Judge Declares DACA Unlawful. That’s not just my characterization: There are, unfortunately, many appointed and elected officials across the U.S. who have made a career out of enacting anti-immigrant policy. But as far as activist federal judges go, perhaps none stand out like Judge Andrew Hanen of the United States District Court for the […]
Lopez was/is a coward
It is going to be disgusting to hear people put laurels on Ernie’s cowardly noggin. Once regarded as a “different” Republican, he spent the Trump years in hiding.
Also – I’m sure there is a sordid side to his quitting. But I’m too disgusted by his public behavior to care much about his private shit.
Song of the Day 7/16: General Johnson and Joey Ramone, “Rockaway Beach”
Carolina beach music was invented for this time of year but, despite the title, “Rockaway Beach” is not beach music. At least, it wasn’t before General Johnson enlisted Joey Ramone to join him in a beach-music reworking of the punk classic for a mid-’90s compilation album. General Johnson is known to most music fans as […]

Stoopid Baseball Player Trix. Phillies. Red Sox-Yanks. Awww, are they a-sceered of the vaccine, or are they just vax-deniers? Doesn’t matter. The Big Lie, Part Duh, has taken hold: What began as “vaccine hesitancy” has morphed into outright vaccine hostility, as conservatives increasingly attack the White House’s coronavirus message, mischaracterize its vaccination campaign and, more […]
Did the Dems get rid of the filibuster last night?
What? No? Oh well. Everything else is just talky-talk.
Song of the Day 7/15: Old 97s, “Bird in a Cage”
In the ’90s the Old 97s were one of the top acts in what was then known as alt-country (now Americana). Saleswise their career peaked in 2001 with their third and final major-label release, “Satellite Rides,” a disc full of Rhett Miller’s catchiest country-rock. This tune was one of my favorites, and apparently it’s one […]

Nobody wants to hear it, but the pandemic is not over. Global cases rose last week for the first time in 10 weeks. We’re shaping up to have a truly nasty outbreak in the fall in Dumbfuckistan. Democrats — why can’t they do the right thing? Latest example: SCOTUS Justice Stephen Breyer, 82, who’s under […]
GOP: We Will Literally Kill Our Base to Win in 2022
This Seth Meyers clip does a good job rounding up the GOP anti-vax lunacy which (along with the big lie) IS NOW A KEY PLANK in their platform. They are now literally running on “Don’t Get Vaccinated”. This goes beyond, “those crazy Republicans” into “WHAT the HOLY FUCK is going on?” territory. Heather Cox Richardson […]
Song of the Day 7/14: Huey Lewis and the News, “I Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do”
Did you ever hear a song you liked by a band you never heard before, only to find that most of their music sounds nothing like the first song you heard? That was my experience with this tune, a minor hit for Huey Lewis and the News from their second LP (and first successful one) […]
DuPont, Chemours & Corteva Agree To Pay Delaware $50 Mill For Damage Caused By Their ‘Forever’ Chemicals
This is a BFD. According to this News-Journal article: (AG Kathy) Jennings’ justice department had intended to file a massive lawsuit against DuPont, Chemours and Corteva earlier this year. The department spent more than two years on its investigation, which consisted of environmental sampling, forensic analysis and a review of corporate records. The department sought monetary damages and […]

Kathy McGuiness would like you to know that she audited something. #Auditorizing
I haven’t followed this Wesley/Del State thing, but I did learn that this is the first time a HBCU acquired another higher education institution. That’s something. I also learned that the new acquisition is going to be trimmed back to health oriented programs and called “Wesley College of Health & Behavioral Sciences”. #coolnames
A total of 286 restaurants in Delaware are going to receive nearly $68 million in grants. Restaurants were hit hard last year so this that I say “GREAT!” but also say, “Now pay your people a living wage”. #tippedminisbullshit
In BLASIUS INDUSTRIES, INC., v. ATLAS CORPORATION, (1988) Delaware Chancery created the legal doctrine shortened to Blasius. It states that directors who act with the primary purpose of interfering with a stockholder vote must have a compelling justification for their conduct. I had to look that up because this (Blasius Is Alive and Well in Delaware) is the best headline related to the Elon Musk testimony happening in Wilmington. #youvebeenmusked
Rather, that was the best headline until the guy vomitted. #updates
Paul Baumbach finds that humanity and decency is a tough sell in Leg Bargain Basement. Maybe if the terminally ill scraped together enough money to engage some scumbag lobbyist? #Brydisdisgusting.
But first…
You don’t have to wear a mask, wash you hands, cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, or basically be a decent human anymore. #butwhynottryitforonce
Song of the Day 7/13: Archie Bell and the Drells, “Tighten Up”
Actor Charlie Robinson, best known for his role on “Night Court,” died Sunday, and many of his obituaries say he began his show-biz career as a singer with Archie Bell and the Drells, best known for their No. 1 hit from 1968. The song started as an instrumental vamp by the Drells’ backing group, the […]

Hello Friend, This week the Delaware Call presents two poems excerpted from Phillip Bannowsky’s new novella, Jacobo the Turko; a novel in verses.
