Reflecting on 18 years of DL & Thanks

Well, it looks like I picked a heck of a day to hang it up, but this is it for me.  My last post.  18 years is a long time, so I have some people to thank. For everyone I name I’m going to forget tons of people, so just know that if you’ve been […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, Delaware by on September 29, 2023 2 Comments

Bethany Hall-Long’s intended coronation as Delaware’s next governor has hit a major snag. Seems like her rivals’ campaign signs might not be the only thing her sleazeball husband/campaign treasurer has gotten his hands on, as the campaign is undergoing an outside audit. Meanwhile, she has demonstrated why she’s not to be trusted in Woodburn by […]

DL Open Thread Friday, Sept. 29, 2023

Considering the pointlessness of the entire spectacle – all the challengers combined don’t reach Trump’s share of the Republican voters – the media sure is spilling a lot of pixels talking about the GOP gabfest. I’m not linking to any of it because I don’t want to encourage them. Besides, only 9.3 million people tuned […]

Is Vivek Ramaswamy the first AI candidate? There’s something alarmingly unnatural about him.  No real person talks like that.  That, and ‘What a buncha morans’ are my only thoughts about last night’s shit-show. The Looming Shutdown.  Essential: House staffers working on Biden impeachment.  Non-essential: FEMA disaster relief: House Oversight Chairman James Comer said a potential […]

Song of the Day 9/28: Alana Springsteen, “twenty something”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on September 28, 2023 0 Comments

Bruce Springsteen has cancelled all his remaining 2023 concert dates as he combats peptic ulcer disease, demonstrating that the Democratic Party isn’t the only institution plagued by decrepitude. The rockers of the ’60s and ’70s who didn’t have the career-boosting foresight to die at 27 are at an age where they’re more likely to expire […]

Trump’s business empire is in legal jeopardy over his constant lying, but lying is all he knows how to do, so he’s still at it. He gave a speech to a bunch of non-union auto workers and scabs last night but had a bunch of them carry UAW signs. But Philip Bump of the Washington […]

Delaware’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #3-RD 14

I’m not even sure how contested this race will be.  But the prospect of Marty Rendon replacing Former Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf in RD 14 excites me no end. I grant you–some of my affinity stems from the fact that Rendon and I are the same age.  We both cut our teeth on, wait for it, […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on September 27, 2023 2 Comments

Unless you’re a boomer, and maybe even if you are, you probably don’t recognize the name of Roger Whittaker, who died a couple of weeks ago at age 87. He was a sort-of-folk singer who grew up in Kenya when it was still a British colony and became popular in Europe in the pre-Beatles ’60s. […]
