Song of the Day 8/27: Oasis, “Some Might Say”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona So the rumors were confirmed this morning. The battling Gallagher brothers will bring back Oasis after 15 restless years and separate solo careers. It would have been hard to turn down the estimated $50 million the tour will bring. Noel’s on the hook for a huge divorce settlement, but there […]

The wind at the Democratic Party’s back might get a little stronger as the election approaches. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled he will cut interest rates in response to falling inflation stats and soft job-creation numbers. If elections are still about the economy – highly doubtful when society is menaced by the Coalition of […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #4–RD 21
You all know Dr. Frank Burns. He almost defeated Mike Ramone in 2022 and likely hastened Ramone’s decision to abandon his home turf for Sussex County. And a race for Governor. Burns is a true progressive, twice endorsed by WFP, who has helped to train other progressive candidates for office. He gives back. His campaign […]
Song of the Day 8/26: Sam Moore and Isaac Hayes, “Hold On, I’m Comin'”
Trump is in legal trouble again, this time over music. The estate of Isaac Hayes has been granted an emergency hearing in its lawsuit against Trump’s campaign for repeatedly using “Hold On, I’m Comin’,” the Sam & Dave hit that Hayes wrote with David Porter, without permission at his rallies. (Odd choice for an adjudicated […]

Admit it, you had no idea the Kamala Harris candidacy would be this popular. Her campaign announced it has raised $540 million since Joe Biden bowed out, which works out to about $100 million a week. Now you know why Trump is jealous. Trump is running scared, all right. Now he’s making noises about backing […]
Song of the Day 8/25: Tim Grimm, “Broken Truth”
Guest post by Mike Dinsmore I am relatively new to Tim Grimm. Or should I say that Tim Grimm is relatively new to me. I’ve had his album “A Stranger in This Time” (2017) for about four years, and it disappeared into my huge stack of CDs that I listened to once and then stored […]

Of Runzas And Hot Pockets. Pretty sure you can put that single Nebraska electoral vote in the D win column…: A Runza, for the uninitiated, is a German-style meat and cabbage sandwich sold by a Nebraska-based hamburger chain of the same name. Walz’s caravan stopped at a Runza restaurant, at 77th and L Streets on […]

Mentally-Unfit Candidates Unite Under The Trump Banner. What could possibly go wrong, especially since Kennedy hadn’t made a campaign appearance since early July? Doesn’t CNN Vet Its ‘Undecided’ Voters? Nope. Here’s the story of the one allegedly undecided voter on their panel who, following Harris’ speech, said he was now for Trump: A man introduced […]
‘Real Men Support Strong Women’
Guest Post By La Somnambula I read an article today about Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and how he supports his wife Vice President Kamala Harris. He quit his job as a lawyer to follow her to Washington, D.C. (So did Michele Obama, so did Hillary Clinton, but I digress). He is a man who eschews […]
Just One More Thing BHL Won’t Talk To The Press About
More blatant Delaware Way shit, this time featuring all her buddies at the Department Of Elections. Tell me again why the State Senate didn’t bother asking Anthony Albence any questions when Carney reappointed him: State election officials in Delaware communicated directly with one or more aides in Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall-Long’s office last year amid […]
Song of the Day 8/23: Songify This ft. Tariq, “It’s Corn”
One of the best things about summer in Delaware is something we take for granted. Yeah, I’m talking about sweet corn. So was Tariq when a YouTuber interviewed him for a channel called Recess Therapy a couple of years ago. The kid is so adorable talking about corn he went viral. When YouTube was young, […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries Of 2024: #5A–Wilmington Mayor
Yes, kids, somehow I ended up with 11 races on my list of the 10 most intriguing primaries. (Not the first time this has happened–imagine you’re unveiling your list of your 50 fave songs of the year. You’re down to the top 20–and realize you only have nineteen songs remaining. I’ve been there.) I chose […]

You can all post your impressions of the Convention. Apparently it was a very successful night. Watching Leon Panetta babble on was my cue to go to sleep. Who thought that was a good idea? Also–no Beyonce?? What can I say? I’m hyper-critical. Loved the appearance of the Central Park Five. Saw no reason why […]
