DeSantis’ Horrible, Bumbling Campaign Continues to Bubble Horribly
I had hoped that DeSantis was going to at least take a chunk out of Trump, or even beat him and thereby break the GOP forever – but he is truly terrible at running for the GOP’s presidential nomination. The latest evidence of how inept he is had to do with trying to out hate […]

The Abiding Friendship Between Chris Evert And Martina Navratilova
Just an absolutely wonderful feel-good story written by the incomparable Sally Jenkins: They dressed side by side. They waited together, sometimes ate together and entered the arena together. Then they would play a match that seemed like a personal cross-examination, running each other headlong into emotional confessions, concessions. And afterward they would return to that […]

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.

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.
