Song of the Day 1/27: Bruce Springsteen, “American Skin (41 Shots)”
The agencies and uniforms, even the race of the victims, have varied over the years, but Alex Pretti’s shocking murder is not surprising. These extrajudicial executions have been going on for decades in the United States. You can tell from the history of this song. Few might remember it now, but on Feb. 4, 1999, […]
DL Open Thread: Tuesday, January 27, 2026
I was halfway through my General Assembly Pre-Game Show when I got the sad news: Today’s session has been canceled. It was perhaps my best writing ever. Which will now never see the light of day. Because of my innate generosity, though, if you’d like to read my latest masterpiece, a mere $1000 will get you a […]
Song of the Day 1/26: Marilyn Manson, “Killing Strangers”
A theme song for the ICE/CBP goons murdering U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. Marilyn Manson wrote this song, from his band’s 2015 album “The Pale Emperor,” about the PTSD his father suffered after serving in Vietnam. Manson’s real name is Brian Warner; he adopted his stage name to reflect America’s twin fascinations with beautiful women and […]

Here’s How To Cover A Murder By ICE: Federal officials sought to portray a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident killed by Border Patrol agents on Saturday as a domestic terrorist, saying he wanted to “massacre” law enforcement, even as videos emerged that appeared to directly contradict their account. The man, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive-care nurse […]

It was bound to happen–Trump and the ICEstapo would do something so heinous that we couldn’t even take a break to enjoy a Sunday morning respite. The government-sanctioned murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti hit me so hard that it was difficult to think of anything else. Here’s a profile of the person who ICE killed in […]
Song of the Day 1/25: Loreena McKennitt, “Snow”
I realize the snow is going to be followed by freezing rain, but there aren’t any songs about freezing rain. There are many about snow, but they get lumped in with holiday music. “Let It Snow,” “Winter Wonderland,” even “Jingle Bells” have nothing to do with Christmas, but once the decorations are down and the […]
Song of the Day 1/24: The Doors, “Riders on the Storm”
Anyone worth his salt stocked up on it early, because from what I hear there’s not much to be found. We laugh at Southerners who freak out about 2 inches of snow, but it’s been years since northern Delaware got much more than that (higher accumulations have been more common in Kent and Sussex than […]

Trump’s War Against DEI Officially Dead. Sorta: Nearly a year ago, the Education Department sent universities and K-12 school districts scrambling with a sweeping but vague directive. The “Dear Colleague” letter said schools may be in violation of federal law if they consider race in virtually any way — hiring, discipline policy, scholarships and programming. […]
El Somnambulo Goes Over The Campaign Finance Reports So That You Don’t Have To
As usual, this will be a post-in-progress. I will continue to update is as the finance reports roll in, the deadline for submissions being January 20. I will post the most recent updates at the top as I see new ones. Kevin Hensley closed out 2025 with $49K in his campaign account. He will not go gently […]

Am I The Only One Not Paying Attention To Trump’s Board Of Peace? All I needed to see was ‘$1 billion’ to know it was just another Trump scam. White House Turns Proud Black Woman Into Crybaby: The White House posted a digitally altered image of a woman who was arrested on Thursday in a […]
Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending January 22, 2026
“We are kings of our bikes. So, we are again really lucky to live in Rehoboth, when we park a car, we have to get back into the car. We can hop on our bikes and our ritual is that we are always biking from our home to L(ewe)s. We do a little bit of […]
Song of the Day 1/22: The 1910 Fruitgum Company, “1, 2, 3 Red Light”
TACO Trump outdid himself in Davos, making his usual ugly noises about taking over Greenland and threatening Europe with punitive tariffs for not agreeing to it – and then backpedaling one day later when the stock markets plunged. It’s a perfect illustration of why countries don’t want to do business with the U.S. – who […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thursday, January 22, 2026
I was wrong. The Hospital Cost Containment Board legislation is not the only bill that the leaders have decided must pass by the end of next week. Two bills designed to give NCC tools to address inequities in the New Castle County reassessment project are on today’s Senate Agenda, and are certain to be fast-tracked […]
Of all the fines levied against him, how much will Donald Trump actually pay?
