Anybody else here a delegate to the state convention?
I have’t finished this podcast (patreon.com/Elsmere’s Top Minds), so I don’t know if Jordyn Pusey was able to fight her way through the bumptious stupidity of her RD’S old guard losers.
Also, just take a minute or two and really ponder the layers of odiousness captured by this book cover. I mean …holy SHIT! It is like the peice of concentrated evil in the last scene of time bandits. I feel like Kevin right now. “Mom, Dad. It’s evil. Don’t touch it.”
Song of the Day 3/26: Labelle, “Lady Marmalade”
The National Recording Registry announced this year’s additions, ranging from a recording Thomas Edison made on a piece of tinfoil in 1878 to Kermit the Frog’s “Rainbow Connection.” The headline selection, though, was this smash hit that reached the top of the charts in 1975 when it was recorded by Labelle, the girl group led […]

Georgia Passes Unfathomably Racist Voter Suppression Laws. As anti-democratic as it gets. Stop minorities from voting, hang on to power. Will Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin stand with these blatant racists? BTW, doesn’t get more symbolic than this. Black legislator arrested for trying to attend signing ceremony, Looks Like Netanyahu’s ‘Victory’ Was No Victory At […]
Song of the Day 3/25: The Lemon Pipers, “Green Tambourine”
I’m as anti-insurrection as the next guy, but I think the feds may be overreaching in the case of Sara Carpenter, 51, of Queens, who was arrested for entering the Capitol on Jan. 6. She cooperated with the authorities and turned over the clothing she was wearing when she was pepper-sprayed, as well as the […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, March 25, 2021
We’re seeing the forces arrayed against progressive legislation flexing their muscles. The Democratic forces. The keys remain John Carney and Speaker Pete. Carney acts like he’s not really paying attention to specific bills (‘ I’m looking forward the the debate on (fill in the blank)’. As if. Speaker Pete buries bills that Carney doesn’t want. […]

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but ever since The Last Guy left DC the news has lacked the crisis-a-minute pace it maintained for four years. Say what you want about the voters of Arizona, at least they’re smart enough to be turned off by Kyrsten Sinema’s Joe Manchin impersonation. Her poll numbers back home […]
Krista Griffith – Back Away From the Fox News
Adopting GOP talking points to defend her vote doesn’t speak well of Griffith’s critical thinking skills.
Rep. Griffith defended her vote at the 12th RD Meeting last night, saying …she was worried about raising taxes on the rich and having them leave the state. She also thought the proposed rates in House Bill 64 were too high. Oh, those poor wealthy people. When will they get a break? Thanks, Krista, for buying into Republican talking points.
Song of the Day 3/24: Marvin Gaye, “What’s Going On”
When Rolling Stone magazine recalculated its 500 greatest albums list last year, giving greater weight to musicians’ opinions and less to the critics, a new No. 1 emerged — Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” his seminal 1971 soul song cycle. And that album literally wouldn’t exist without the title tune. The song was inspired by […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, March 24, 2021
Tuesday’s Activity Report. You will note that HB 88 (K. Williams) cleared the Business Lapdog Committee. There was one unfavorable vote on the move to eliminate the training and teen sub-minimum wage. You don’t suppose–that committee member Mike Ramone would engage in yet another conflict-of-interest vote so soon after being exposed as a serial conflict-of-interest […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday, March 24, 2021
In today’s open thread you can click through to read about; the 2nd amendment stifling America’s ability to enjoy guns, Matt Meyer already running for Gov, RIP George Segal (you were great in ‘Just Shoot Me’), and how Lewes will soon be a damp, flood-weary hell hole with people too poor to leave, trapped in knee deep poverty.
But first, the unhinged zealotry of those Psycho-Moderate Dems is becoming impossible to tolerate.

Yup. This is some dumb fucking bullshit.
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, March 23, 2021
But first, a quick look back at a productive legislative session that took place on March 18. These bills passed and moved across the Hall to the opposite chambers: SB 15; HB 20; and HB 33. Excellent bills. The fates of HB 20 and HB 33 are likely not in doubt. However, John Carney is […]

In today’s Open thread 34 JOBS coming to Delaware!, a cool little helicopter, Aukland sex work now less awkward, and Joe’s reefer madness. But first up – another white guy had a bad day.
