UD Spring Enrollment Crashing?
I heard that a very small number of students are enrolled for classes at the University of Delaware for the Spring semester. Typical enrollment is around 19,000 students. The number I heard is so low that, frankly, it seems absurd. If anyone has any firsthand knowledge of the enrollment numbers, or credible second hand information […]
Song of the Day 11/18: King Luan, “There Are No Gnomes in Sweden”
I don’t watch much TV except for my exposure when my wife does — I call it eaveswatching, because I’m usually just listening while I’m doing something else — so until last night I had never seen Jimmy Fallon do a Tonight Show bit called the “Do Not Play List.” The idea is simple enough: […]

Trump Fires DHS Official For Telling The Truth. If you’re paying close attention, he really WAS trying to engineer a coup. Might’ve worked, too, if the election was a little closer. Two Rethugs tried to engineer a coup in Michigan yesterday, then had to walk it back. Y’know, Trump has fired enough public officials that […]
The Extraordinary Promise Of A Progressive Delaware State Senate
We have never seen this before in Dover. Not ever. Yes, we have had progressive legislators in the Delaware General Assembly, but they have consistently faced uphill battles against the Delaware Way and the ‘leadership’ that perpetuates the Delaware Way. Like the leadership of the House D Caucus, which may only be one more election […]
Who Were Delaware’s 2020 MVP’s (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause)?
This was the best year for progressives in Delaware ever. You all saw it, you all took part in it, you all basked in the success. Meaning, it is now time for you to submit YOUR nominees for those who were most valuable to the progressive cause in Delaware. I have one rule: When you […]
Biden will be repaid with mountains of scorn
Great plan Joe. It has 0.0% chance of working, but whatevs. #Bygones.
Song of the Day 11/17: James Gang, “Walk Away”
People think of the James Gang as Joe Walsh’s old band from Cleveland, but despite fronting the power trio and doing most of the songwriting during its 1968-71 heyday, Walsh was neither the first nor last to hold that job — the best-known was Tommy Bolin, who later joined Deep Purple — in a band […]

Stoopid Rethug Governor Finally Issues Mask Mandate. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds joins North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum in finally facing reality. Months, and many deaths, too late. BTW, North Dakota has reached the highest Covid mortality rate in the world. South Dakota close behind. Give me liberty AND give me death. Lindsey Graham Pushing To […]
Coons Super-Bipartisanship Strikes Out Again
The GSA reports directly to congress and works for the people of the United States of America. Congress has enormous influence in every federal agency including the GSA.
And yet – in spite of his best efforts to leverage his super-bipartisan powers & friendships – Coons can’t get A SINGLE FUCKING REPUBLICAN to join him in putting pressure on the General Services Administration Administrator Emily Murphy to sign off on the transition.
Fucking useless, Coons. USELESS!
Song of the Day 11/16: The Association, “Along Comes Mary”
Voters in New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana legalized recreational marijuana two weeks ago, bringing the total to 15 states with legal weed. It’s a far cry from 1966, when this single from the Association was controversial for its coded endorsement of pot. Tambyn Almer, who wrote the tune, admitted as much in later […]
Likud Lobbying Hard for Coons to Be Sec of State
Coons is said to be the figure most visibly lobbying for the job, according to Politico. Last May, an article appeared in Jewish Insider claiming that Coons had “the inside track” for the job. It quoted a long list of Jewish leaders and politicians singing Coons’ praises, saying he would be “wonderful” for Israel, “understands […]
