Nobody is going to turn down a possible $10,000 but cant we get a little more creative than this when it comes to student debt? I mean, cant banks take part somehow? They are probably eager to show off their civic-mindedness.

Delaware figured prominently in last nights NCAA mens basketball championship, as former Salesianum standout Donte DiVincenzo known as the Michael Jordan of Delaware when he led the Sals to two state championships took over the game with 31 points as Villanova won its second title in three years. In a game featuring at []

This long form journalism from theoutline.com, on Wilmgtons cycle of poverty, neglect and gun violence is worth your careful consideration.

On the night of December 16, 2017, Allen Duffy Samuels and his family were celebrating his daughters sweet sixteen at a hotel in Wilmington, Delaware, when his sister, Arica Samuels, received a call. She screamed and ran out to the lobby, he said. The next thing we knew, we were at the hospital.

Her son, Keanan, a freshman at Benedict College in South Carolina, was home for Christmas break. That night he had gone to a vigil for a friend, 19-year-old Barry White, who had been shot and killed that September on Wilmingtons north side. After Keanan left the vigil, a still-unidentified assailant opened fire sometime around 7:45 p.m. and hit Samuels in the neck and face area, according to the police. He died at the hospital later that night. He was 20 years old, and the 32nd and final gun-homicide victim of the year in the city of just over 70,000.

High quality all around this month. Plus loads of diversity:

Randy Newman on Davy The Fat Boy from a Rolling Stone piece: Its sung by a con man who is telling these parents that he is going to take care of their son, who is a freak in the carnival sense of the word. There might be something to do with my own self []

Dont worry. It will be invisible to you. We are losing the free hosting, so youll see ads on the sidebars. Other than that nothing will change. Well keep haranguing the usual suspects, Youll still come here for the straight dope. The real shit.

Unbossed and unbought.

Whether it is the genius of Party Chairman Erik Raser-Schramm, or just the fact that America is champing at the goddam bit to lay a glove on the ReTrumpicans, Democrats are crushing the Republicans in candidate recruitment. Based on this list compiled by BlueDelaware, Democrats are out recruiting Retrumpicans at a rate of 3:2. I []

A friend of mine maintains that conservatives just dont get irony, which makes the story about right-wing broadcast syndicate Sinclair Broadcasting a bit less surprising: The company forced reporters at many if not all of its 139 stations to read a script about fake news and warning of reporters with personal agendas. As opposed, one []

Before he became Jingle Writer To Spec for Disney, Randy Newman created a canon of unforgettable (and often loathsome) characters in his songs. Pretty much the stories of their lives in under 4 minutes. This week, I focus on those characters and their songs. Starting with this toxic codependent relationship:

It is Easter 2018, and while it isnt against the law to be poor in Delaware, it might as well be. A system of fines and penalties enacted against the poor to pay for a government that only serves the rich, have left poor (and even some average) Delawareans one speeding ticket away from bankruptcy.

How did that happen?

Why not conclude our salute to Procol Harum with the title track from their Magnum Opus?:

This Oklahoma teachers strike story continues to warm my heart. It turns out, the teachers union was gutted by states anti-union GOP so the strike is the ad hoc work of independent teachers who are pushing for reforms that are more radical and far reaching that a union might have dared to demand. Oklahoma []

Delaware lawmakers with cold feet about gun control should look to the north, where Vermont a far more rural state with gun attitudes typical of such places passed a landmark gun bill that the states Republican governor said he will sign. Cmon, Delaware lawmakers what makes the Hottentots so hot? What have []

Hadnt planned on turning this into a Procol Harum-themed week, but so be it. Shine on brightly, quite insane:

I predicted that Lopez would reveal himself to be a chicken. Ernie I am so disappointed to learn that you are opposing both HB 330 and SB 163! That fact that you showed up at the March for Our Lives on Saturday (to get that precious photo op) and then turned around and opposed []

At last we know what all the bashing of the Coastal Zone Act over the past few years has been about. The long-discussed Port of Wilmington expansion project has finally been revealed, and it involves repurposing the old DuPont Co. Edgemoor property on the Delaware River to port activity. This will require an outlay of []

1. Outten Retires, 2 Candidates File in 30th RD. Nature and politics abhor a vacuum. Within 24 hours of Rep. Bobby Outtens retirement announcement, two candidates flied to run for his 30th RD seat. D Charles Groce and R Shannon Morris. Groce is a, stop me if youve heard this before, retired state trooper. For []

Introducing the multilingual business friend. I love the song and the lyriceven though I have no idea what it means. I think that Keith Reid loved him some Lewis Carroll, some Poe, perhaps some Salvador Dali, and most assuredly some hallucinogens:

ONCE MORE: Even if youve already contributed to help Kerri, take a second now to put in $25.00 more. This is our front line of resistance. This is our barricade to man. In the coming months and weeks youll have to man it bodily but for now help man it by putting some money in. THANKS!

UPDATE: Carper silent on Trumps VA pick. If you havent heard anything from Carper on Trumps ongoing attempts to gut the VA, it is because Tom Carper thinks that Trump is just another President with whom he can cut deals. Time to send a message to this guy. This is not normal. Contribute $5.00 $10.00 $50.00 any amount in the next 24 hours.

Let this be your first vote of the primary season. Vote with your $10, $20 or $2,000 contribution today. We are trying to get Kerri an extra $500.00 to close out the month.

We know the 1%s hero, Tom Carper, will not be defeated with money, but money is required to get the word out. To that end, I will be matching the first $100.00 with my own $100.00, so log your contribution below. I will also be pushing this post to the top throughout the day.

Teachers are leading the way in the fight against the low tax paradise shithole Oklahoma has become in the hands of a GOP majority.

With all his overheated calls to decrease the regulatory burden on banks and other small businesses,I had no idea that Gene Truono was openly gay. A gay Republican and a lesbian Democrat are running to unseat Democratic Delaware Sen. Tom Carper. Eugene Truono, 59, a former chief compliance officer for PayPal, is the sole GOP []

Chris Coons could take a lesson in bipartisanship from his 22 female colleagues. All 22 of them 17 Democrats, 5 Republicans signed a letter to Mitch McConnell demanding the Senate move forward with reforms to the sexual harassment protocols for Congress. Specifically, they didnt find one Republican so they could call it bipartisan []

The bill raising the minimum age for purchasing deadly weapons was voted out of Senate committee yesterday and is scheduled for todays Senate Agenda. 3 of 5 members voted to release it, but the committee report doesnt specify who the third vote was. The third person who voted to release the bill clearly opposes the []

The departure of disgruntled keyboard player Matthew Fisher enabled Robin Trower to assume a more prominent role in Procol Harum. This is the groups first performance as a quartet, some kickin blues-rock:

WXDE 105.9 is reporting that Republican State Rep. Bobby Outten wont seek re-election. Outten, a lifelong Harrington resident, has represented the rural 30th District in southwestern Kent County since succeeding Bobby Quillen in 2004. No word on whether anyone else named Bobby is ready to run this November.
