Recent DL Tweets – Season 1 Episode 1
Truly amazing to see how much TV attention @ChrisCoons gets for saying the most obvious shit. This week’s bombshell “President Trump’s interests seem to be aligned with Russia’s” Stop the motherfucking PRESSES! My panini is in danger of being overcooked. (@KimmySchmidt callback)
Song of the Day 1/31: Steely Dan, “Barrytown”
Another song from the ’70s that remains sadly relevant today, though I suppose Donald Fagan would have to update “I just read the Daily News” to “I just listen to Fox News and swear by every word.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWVhvoAeaFk Though Dan obsessives like to dig for autobiographical references — Barrytown is a hamlet near Bard College, […]
AOC & Markey to introduce “Green New Deal” Legislation
Here is the thing about the buzz this proposal will get. …With AOC it is like regular people finally have a representative in Congress. Have you ever felt represented by Chris Coons? I haven’t. Have you ever felt represented by Tom Carper or Lisa Blunt Rochester? Nope. They have their constituents, but unless you are a board member of a bank – you ain’t their constituent.
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes, January, 2019: Part Two
More great tunes, arranged alphabetically by artist, to start the year: A damn great musical month, by even my high standards.
“Trump’s Use of Undocumented Workers” should be a big deal
Yeah, Trump is a criminal and hypocrite and an asshole. If you are paying attention to current events, you get those facts confirmed dozens of times a day. At this point, it is yawn-inducing. Even this story which ties together the whole criminal-hypocrite-asshole kit and kaboodle, isn’t getting much airtime. The president, who claims to be […]
I’m utterly shocked that this happened in Wisconsin and not Delaware
Throwing billions of dollars at companies because “jobs” isn’t what it used to be. I mean…$4.1 million per job created? Christalmighty! Just give me the $4.1 mil, I can create 20 jobs with that level of public largess.
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: January, 2019: Part One
Some musical years start slowly, with January’s new songs not measuring up to those on the Best Of The Year lists. This, however, is not one of those Januarys. Plenty of real good songs, loads of diversity, a great way to start the year. With a two-fer, in fact. Presented in alphabetical order by artist […]
Song of the Day, 1/30: Colin Hay, “Waiting For My Real Life to Begin”
Most people know Colin Hay from his days fronting Men at Work, the ’80s New Wave band from Australia that scored a huge international hit with “Down Under.” That was the heyday of MTV, and Hay’s exotropia (one eye points outwards) gave viewers an instant visual hook with their first video, “Who Can It Be […]
Here’s How To Deal With Extortionists
We start this story with one of the poorest excuses for journalism ever to clear the e-keyboard of Scott Goss, which is saying something. This story. It’s all about Delaware Rethugs crying crocodile tears over how their efforts to bargain in good faith are being destroyed by the perfidious D’s. And we’ll get right back […]
Delaware is awash in money – Time for the people to claim some of it
Let’s get away from our flat income tax structure that pretends $60,000 is “wealthy”. Let’s stop allowing hundreds of billions in corporate profits to be laundered through The Corporation Trust Center at 1209 North Orange Street, then moved to the Cayman Islands. John Kowalko and others have had reasonable revenue proposals. Let this be the […]
I’m Boycotting Starbucks Until Senator Chris Coons Makes it Illegal
Balloon Juice has become a go-to for me. I endorse this post. Fuck the Coffee Boy.
Dover Downs’ McGlynn Wrong Again — Sports Betting Did Put It in the Black
‘Memba when Dover Downs’ Denis McGlynn told anyone who would listen that sports betting wouldn’t make his racino profitable? According to this new Matt Bittle story quoting Captain Poormouth in the State News, Dover Downs cleared $666,000 last year on sports betting. Not coincidentally, its profits leaped in the year’s fourth quarter — football season. […]
Song of the Day 1/29: Caroline Rose, “Soul No. 5”
Here’s something different: A female solo artist who ridicules the patriarchy and has a good time doing it. Rose, a Long Islander, started out as a country/folk artist but got no attention until she exploded last year after reinventing herself as a millennial with a New Wave sound and an attention-grabbing fashion sense. Most importantly, […]
