I have them in protective custody. They’re not going anywhere. Over and out.” The preceding dialogue may, or may not, have […]
DL Open Thread Thursday, June 24, 2021: The Sellout
Enough Democrats in the Senate have sold out their party to come up with a skinny infrastructure bill that won’t raise any taxes to fund $600 billion worth of repairs, which means rich fucks skate again thanks to Chris “I’m a rich boy, how ’bout you?” Coons. A couple of former NRA honchos got the […]
Does Kyrsten Sinema have an intellectual disability?
Is “intellectual disability” the correct clinical wording for someone with a very low IQ? Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) defended her opposition to abolishing the 60-vote legislative filibuster in a Washington Post op-ed published Monday night, saying to do so would weaken “democracy’s guardrails.” “My support for retaining the 60-vote threshold is not based on the […]
Song of the Day 6/23: Ohio Players, “Funky Worm”
Have you seen any stories about this invasive species of Asian “jumping” earthworms that’s tearing up forest land in the Midwest? Check the link and prepared to be creeped out. But do it while you listen to the Ohio Players’ first charting single, from their 1973 LP “Pleasure.” It was a No. 1 R&B hit, […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, June 23, 2021
Pretty much every bill we discussed yesterday passed yesterday. The one exception, HB 122 (Heffernan), which would require that persons with disabilities be paid a minimum wage, is at the top of today’s House Agenda with an amendment by the sponsor. Meaning, all is well with this excellent bill. Here is yesterday’s Session Activity Report. […]
Open Thread Wednesday June 23rd 2021 – Delaware, Fuck Yeah!
What about that Delaware Senate? Fuck Yeah!
What about that Network Delaware? What about that Delaware United? What about that PDD? What about that Common Cause?
Fuck Yeah!
Fuck Yeah!
Fuck Yeah!
What about that Mom’s Demand Action? What about that Highland Bunker? What about that Delaware Call? What about so many others? What about that Activist Democratic Party? Sure…there are some tired old fossils shuffling about, but the new day has dawned and light is streaming in the windows.
Fuck Yeah’s all around.
It’s just amazing how far progressives have come in this state since I first attended a Howard Dean meet up in the Newark on a dark night in January of 2004.
Marijuana Legalization has Won (Nationally)
The writing is on the wall, and yet Delaware’s cop controlled legislature clings a ‘Reefer Madness’ mentality At this point, the question of nationwide marijuana legalization is more a matter of when, not if. At least two-thirds of the American public support the change, based on various public opinion surveys in recent years. Of the […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, June 22, 2021
Five more days. Lots of unfinished business. Some, like the Budget Bill, will likely get done as early as today. But where’s the urgency on marijuana legalization (HB 150), policing reforms (SB 147, SB 148), a limit on the size of assault weapon magazines (SB 6, Pete, why have you ‘disappeared’ this bill?), an end […]

468 days ago, on March 11th, 2020 the Delaware Division of Public Health announced the state’s first positive case of COVID-19. The case involved a man over the age of 50 who was associated with the University of Delaware.
Only 47% vaccinated, New Castle? That’s fucking pitiful.
Are Cops the most violent gang in Delaware? Are they at least in the top three most violent?
Honey! If you are going out can you grab me some coffee from Brew Ha Ha and some felony aggravated menacing?
Grotesque Lobbyist Catches Some Z’s in Leg Hall
He isn’t grotesque because he is (appears to be?) 8 months pregnant. He is grotesque because he is a low-life with way too much power over the spineless weaklings in Leg Hall.
Tell me again…
From Kit Lewis on FB: · Tell me again how the insurrection wasn’t planned in advance. Because I wonder what the lead time was for the design and production of these MAGA Civil War t-shirts with the exact date on them. There were hundreds out there. So yeah. Tell me again how this was just […]
