Song Of The Day: Aug. 28, 2018
Jason nailed it. While I know it’s tough to be ‘under the radar’ with over 140 million views, I’d never heard it. Just a wonderful version of this Dylan tune, originally from his ‘Time Out Of Mind’ album:
Carper Grumbles, Bumbles, & Stumbles in Debate – Harris Shines
Look for two big story lines in tomorrow’s papers.
1) Carper (71 years old) appeared tired and confused throughout the debate. He needed to be prompted by the moderator to address questions after prolonged instances of dead air. He rambled nonsensically at times, and he got the saying “fool me once” flat wrong. When he attempted to animate his remarks by raising his voice and speaking quickly it came off as peevish.
2) Kerri Harris was poised and confident throughout. Her criticism of Carper were respectful, but piercing. She was authentic and stated the case for her election in terms that connected time and again with the audience.
Simply put. It was a great night for the Harris campaign.
Even Carper knew he sucked. In the press scum after the event Carper basically shrugged and said that he stands on his record (which he thinks is good).
DE’s Gay Mafia Don Loves Carper
This is not news to DL readers. DE gays got theirs now the “leadership” is saying “talk to the hand” to other Delawareans interested in social justice. I say fuck Peter Schott, and fuck Mitch Crane. Fucking Uncle Toms. They got thier place at the table now they can’t be bothered.
Aug. 27 Open Thread: A Plague of Frogs
The Republican Party should ditch the elephant and replace him with a frog in a pot of water. Axios released the argument for that in the form of a spreadsheet listing all the probable investigations Democrats will launch if they capture the House majority. How did they compile the list? They simply entered every investigation […]
Debate prep and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Coming to Delaware
Whatever happens tonight, we all owe a debt of gratitude to Kerri Harris. When everyone knew Carper needed to face a primary opponent to call him out on his record, she did it.
That said…what are the nuts and bolts of what needs to happen at tonight’s debate?
Song Of The Day: Aug. 27, 2018
I’m digging deep for Dylan covers that you haven’t heard a million times before–and that are good, or at least intriguing. I’ve got some fascinating ones, but I’m open to all your suggestions. Who could possibly bring something new to ‘Like A Rolling Stone’? How about that underappreciated band Spirit, featuring Randy California and Ed […]
Kerri Evelyn Harris For United States Senate
Tom Carper has long since abandoned even the pretense that he legislates on behalf of the average Delawarean. Time after time, issue after issue, when faced with a choice between Delaware voters and the Special Interests who have bankrolled his career, he has consistently voted for filling his corporate coffers at the expense of the […]
Aug. 26 Open Thread: McCain Won’t Get to See Trump in Prison
This might be hard to believe, but there are even worse people than Donald Trump in the Republican Party. When the family of Sen. John McCain, who died last night at 81, announced last week that he was stopping treatment of his brain cancer, “Chemtrail” Kelli Ward, running for Jeff Flake’s senate seat in Arizona, […]

We close out ‘Thoroughfares Week” with Side 1, Cut 1 of my fave Springsteen album (it’d be your fave Springsteen album too if you heard it blasting out of your car radio back in 1973/74 like I did):
Aug. 25 Open Thread: Gravedancers’ Ball
Frank Rich reminds us that the premature end of a crooked presidency happens, as Hemingway wrote of bankruptcy, gradually and then suddenly. He’s not the only pundit who took the opportunity of Trump’s worst week to look ahead to how his presidency will end. Eliot Cohen claims tyrants, unloved, are always abandoned by their followers. […]
Coons a very possible “Yes” on Kavanaugh – “Clearly Qualified” to Serve on Supreme Court
He is speaking outside of a meeting with Kavanugh right now. Senator Coons has “concerns”, but has declared Kavanaugh qualified to serve and is awaiting more information in order to make a final decision.
Trump Spin Evolution
“The investigations are bogus because they are looking at crimes that I’ve been committing for years – not just the recent crimes I committed. Also, what about Clinton’s emails?”
