Song of the Day 12/29: Matthew Sabatella & The Rambling String Band, “The Battle Cry of Freedom”
Nikki Haley’s answer to the trick question “What caused the Civil War?” has caused her no end of grief in much of the country, but should sound familiar to anyone educated in the South. Public schools there might not call it the War of Northern Aggression anymore, but I’ll bet a lot of the home […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Dec. 22-28, 2023
1. Maybe some candidates filed for the ballot this week, maybe they didn’t. You see, the Delaware Department Of Elections chose this week to roll out their new ‘improved’ website. Yes, it’s more visually appealing. And less informative. Here’s what I got when I was finally able to burrow down to click on the list […]

The Maine Course. Trump off Maine ballot–for now. Either the Constitution means something, or it doesn’t. El Supremos will decide: “I do not reach this conclusion lightly,” said Bellows, a Democrat, in the decision. “I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section Three […]

Song of the Day 12/28: The Smothers Brothers, “Boil That Cabbage Down”
Tom Smothers, the comic half of the squabbling Smothers Brothers, died Tuesday at age 86. Though they’ll always be remembered for having their top-rated variety show axed by CBS in 1969 for its criticism of the war in Vietnam, I remember them more for bringing some levity to audiences years earlier, during the Great Folk […]

More Delaware Corruption–Courtesy Of Our Lax LLC Laws. I could muster up more sympathy for the victims were they not using this scheme as a tax dodge: Court-appointed receiver Kelly Campbell had been overseeing this depleted storage facility of First State Depository Co. LLC for the past year, arriving the previous fall with U.S. marshals […]

Thom Hartmann warns that Trump is following the fascist playbook by goading his supporters to violence. And it wasn’t just WWII-era fascists – Orban is doing the same thing in Hungary today. Story after story tells us that Trump is winning the 2024 presidential race. What they don’t tell you: Those same polls show that […]

Announcing DL’s MVP’s Of 2023!!
As usual, there are more than ten on the list. While one of Jason’s preferred choices isn’t on the list, I’m pretty damn sure he’ll agree with our #1. 10. Reps. Osienski , Heffernan, and Sen. Paradee. While none of the three would be categorized as predictably progressive, each of the three passed signature bills […]

Pope Francis, fresh off his controversial decision to allow the blessing of same-sex relationships, used his Christmas message to take aim at the weapons industry, which means he took aim squarely at the United States, arms merchant to the world, even if he didn’t say so directly. One Democratic congressman from North Jersey illustrates the […]
