We’re all still squarely in holiday mode but here are some things that happened: It is easy to allow the awfulness of Longhurst to overshadow the significant change that has happened in the Delaware House. Let’s not do that. Sometimes changes comes in like a sudden and irresistible avalanche and sometimes is it inch by […]
DL Open Thread: Sunday, July 2, 2023
I can’t (or choose not to) read everything (although I’m reading a pretty amazing novel entitled “Chain Gang All-Stars” by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah right now. The Greg Abbotts of the World might get some ideas. Which is not the author’s point at all). But I digress. My point being that I love it when our readers send […]
Song of the Day 7/1: Jackson Browne, “Call It a Loan”
The Supreme Court hath spoken, and it repeated its mantra: Money talks, everything else walks. Call it American justice: Bankruptcy can wipe out all the loans you can’t repay except the ones you took out when you were in or just out of your teens. The loan Jackson Browne was singing about was emotional, not […]

A new day: At least the Supreme Court can’t inflict any more damage until October, can they? Plus, LLC’s and corporations still can’t vote in Seaford–until January, at least. How long will Miss Texas Remain Miss Texas? Not for long, I suspect. She’s letting everyone know that MAGAt Texas isn’t her Texas: What is startling […]
Song of the Day 6/30: Three Dog Night, “Black and White”
The day of jubilee is upon us! The Supreme Court, convinced of its power to dictate the terms of reality, has proclaimed that the nation is colorblind, so affirmative action is not only no longer necessary, it’s illegal! Note to SCOTUS:If you can’t tell the difference between black and white, that’s not colorblindness. It’s blindness. […]
Comment Rescue – the laughable pretense that the DEGOP is a going enterprise was kept alive by Pete
Republicans have made themselves irrelevant in Delaware politics. We know that looking at statewide races, but even the withered DEGOP rump caucus that hangs on in their creepy garbage filled swamps are irrelevant. Pete has been covering up that fact for some time now. This comment from John Kowalko from prior thread gets to […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Friday, June 30, 2023
The Headlines: Speaker Pete Picks The Absolute WORST Time To Go Through Man-opause. House Rethugs Revolt So That LLC’s And Corporations Can Vote In Seaford. They’re ‘not serious people’. This HAS To Be Schwartzkopf’s Last Day As Speaker, Either By (His) Choice, Or Otherwise. Here’s what happened: Speaker Pete had promised the Rethugs that he […]
Rumor Alert – Pete Replaced by Pete II
Val (Speaker), Mimi (Majority Leader), KEH (Whip) headed to leadership. Townsquare has a hedgy version. Who knows if this is just to ratfuck proceedings.

Supreme Court Kills Affirmative Action. Because why should Black kids be as entitled as legacy fuck-ups at major institutions?: “With let-them-eat-cake obliviousness, today, the majority pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat. But deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: June 2023
So much good music that I had to limit each artist to one song (there were two artists for whom I had initially posted two songs each). Only available on Youtube, and, um, here. Don’t know if it’ll make it to Spotify, but I prefer this to anything on the album they put out earlier […]
BREAKING: House Votes Down Seaford Charter.
That can only mean one thing: House Rethugs plan to hold up the Bond Bill because–Seaford. The vote was 22 Yes, 18 No. Actually it was 23-17, but Rep. Short changed his vote from yes to no so that he could bring the bill up again. The D’s who voted yes? Bolden, Carson, Cooke, Lynn, […]
Song of the Day 6/29: David Bromberg, “Sharon”
I just read in the News Journal about the final concert by Wilmington’s adoptive son, David Bromberg. He said the show he played at New York’s Beacon Theater June 10 with his band will be his last as a touring musician. Bromberg, who sold his violin repair shop a couple of years ago, is now […]
