Why not continue with ‘appliance-themed’ double entendres for a second straight day?:
Confronting the Confrontation Question
Yes, you hate her, but give Sarah Huckabee Sanders credit — she served Trump well by tweeting out her experience at the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Va. Her job is to distract the media from whatever the current Trump horror might be, and she changed the subject masterfully. It happened last Friday and we’re […]
Don’t Give Up
I know it looks bleak. But remember that the system was set up to reflect the will of the people. A minority government can only hold out so long, and every action taken by this one makes it more probable that the GOP dies in flames. Despite losing the popular vote by 3 million, they’re […]
June 26 Open Thread: Orange Pig Attacks Noisy Hogs
By which I mean Trump attacked Harley Davidson for moving some of its production to Europe in response to retaliatory tariffs imposed in Trump’s trade war. This, naturally, prompted a wildly disproportionate and misinformed Twitter attack, as America’s orange pig ranted against the maker of America’s iconic-because-purposely-obnoxious motorcycles. This puts H-D in a tight spot, […]
Chris Coons, Mr. Quick Study
You can’t slip anything past Sen. Chris Coons. He sat for an interview yesterday with WDEL, in which he said — better sit down — that Trump needs to be better informed and that he’s not a king. “I’ve had direct, in-person conversations with [Trump] about immigration policy, and he, at the time, was strikingly […]
Supreme Court Goes Rogue
With its illegitimate justice, Neil Gorsuch, deciding these 5-4 cases: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-upholds-trump-travel-ban-n873441 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/26/opinion/supreme-court-american-express.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/25/us/politics/supreme-court-texas-gerrymandering.html More outrages to come, no doubt.
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues. June 26, 2018
This lame session of the General Assembly limps towards its merciful conclusion four session days hence. T, W, Th, and Saturday. If any historians have the stomach to look back, they will blame this session’s myriad embarassments on terrible leadership–a timid visionless governor, a President Pro-Tempore unsuited to the times, and a Speaker who only […]
Song Of The Day: June 26, 2018
Nobody who saw Bonnie Raitt at the beginning of her career will ever forget this one. Safe to say that her muse did not stem from a high school creative writing class:
Wagner’s Disgrace Is Big Boost for Davies
Today’s Department of Labor ruling in favor of Kathleen Davies in her dispute with her former boss, Auditor Tom Wagner, was no doubt satisfying for her in a professional sense. It showed that there was no factual foundation for the allegations against her, and pointed pretty clearly to another employee of the office who stepped […]
The Civility Police only ever police liberals
Civility only matters if it invloves liberals. Only liberals needs to know all the archane rules of the road. For non-liberals, it is a fucking free for all. Yell “LIAR!” at the President during a congressional address. Grab women by the pussy. Just go for it, as long as you are not a liberal. Following […]
June 25 Open Thread: I Say, My Good Man, Jailing Babies Seems Not Quite Cricket
The headline is my crack at showing the proper level of civility apparently required when pointing out to certain of our fellow citizens that they are monsters — a notion to which I, along with some of my leftist fellow travelers, cry, “Bullshit! With a capital SHIT!” Josh Marshall: [I]t is simply too comical to […]

It’s double entendre week here at DL. Got some great ones picked out. But feel free to share yours. Here’s a song that’s no doubt about cows and butter:
