Song of the Day 10/16: Five for Fighting, “100 Years”
Jimmy Carter entered hospice care two years ago, and his relatives say the end is near. But before he turned 100 on Oct. 1 he said he wanted to live long enough to cast a vote for Kamala Harris. He got his wish Wednesday when he filled out a mail-in ballot. The milestone isn’t as […]

Brett Baier Tries To Mansplain Trump’s Superiority To Kamala Harris. If the Fox interview accomplished anything, it likely turned women off to Trump’s toxic masculinity as channeled through Baier: The interview with Mr. Baier gave Ms. Harris access to a large audience of Republican women whom her campaign is trying to win over. Her advisers […]
Song of the Day 10/16: Red Rider, “Lunatic Fringe”
You might remember this song from 1985, when it was used on “Miami Vice” and the movie “Vision Quest,” but you probably don’t remember the band. Red Rider never reached the Top 40 in the United States, but they were major rock stars north of the border, where all their albums went platinum. They ruled […]
Towards A Delaware Transparency Agenda
Premature? No. It’s long past time to drive a stake through the secrecy that practitioners of the Delaware Way have used to perpetuate the casual corruption at its core. We’ll have a new governor who ran against some of the worst elements of the Delaware Way. We’ll be free of the likes of John Carney, […]

For years we’ve wondered how bonkers Trump would have to get before mainstream media stopped normalizing him. We might have reached that point now that the brain worms have given up because there was nothing for them to eat in there. Enjoying those low gas prices? You can thank Russia’s shadow fleet of oil tankers […]
WHYY Reports On Progressive Agenda For Transparency
Matt Meyer makes clear that transparency on police actions would be part of that agenda: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Matt Meyer said he supports absolute transparency in policing and would assess if more needed to be done beyond last year’s legislation, if elected governor. “You can’t have a system where a small group of police officers […]
Song of the Day 10/15: The Doobie Brothers, “Listen to the Music”
I don’t know who’s DJing Donald Trump’s rallies, but after seeing the partial playlist from yesterday’s question-and-answer session turned listening party, I think he needs some new material. “Ave Maria” and “YMCA” in the same set? Andrea Bocelli and James Brown? Apparently Trump likes to play DJ at Mar-a-Lago, and these are among his favorite […]

Trump cut short his Q&A session in Oaks, Pa., yesterday to – I’m not making this up – stand there and sway to the music. For, like, half an hour. “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music,” he told the crowd. “Who the hell wants to hear questions?” It’s becoming clear […]
Song of the Day 10/14: Captain Beyond, “Sufficiently Breathless”
Supergroups have been a thing in rock since 1966, when Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker ditched their former bands to form Cream, named because each was the cream of the crop on his instrument. The trend picked up steam late in the decade after Crosby, Stills and Nash (and later Young) soared up […]

Normally if you told me that thousands of people went to a concert in the California desert and then got stuck there for hours because the inept organizers didn’t have enough buses to get them back to civilization, I’d feel sorry for them. But not when they’re MAGAts, because a more gullible bunch of dumbfucks […]

Yep, JD Vance’s Mom Owes Her Health Insurance To–Obamacare: In Vance’s telling, his family members’ experience reflects Trump’s stewardship of the nation’s health-care markets — a perspective shared by some conservatives, who say that Trump took steps to stabilize the Affordable Care Act after Republican repeal efforts collapsed in 2017. Even as the president publicly […]

Trump Comes Out For Full-Fledged Fascism. Not bothering to hide it: Donald Trump wants to immediately invoke a more than 200-year-old wartime law that grants the president unilateral authority to deploy federal law enforcement for rounding up and deporting immigrants as soon as he enters office. The former president, speaking from Aurora, Colorado on Friday, […]
