Who’s Afraid of the Green New Deal?

Filed in International, National by on February 26, 2019 7 Comments

Lots of people, it seems, even some of the 81% who tell pollsters they support it. Republicans consider it the spawn of Satan or, worse, Lenin. Democrats fret that it’s so radical it will drive voters into the nurturing arms of President Stable Genius. To which I say, good. Excellent. All this chatter shows the […]

Rep. Melissa Minor-Brown Challenges The Secrecy State

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on February 26, 2019 11 Comments

Delaware is the Secrecy State.  So much vital information is withheld from citizens who truly need to know. Citizens are often told that there is nothing to worry about, assertions generally presented without facts. Rep. Minor-Brown has challenged that notion.

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on February 26, 2019 0 Comments

I promise this is the last day of Queen music, and to be honest I’m posting it not only because it’s a great song, but because this video manages to “document” something that never happened. If you watch carefully you’ll notice that it’s more than one concert edited together — it’s three, actually — because […]

As expected, Rami Malek won the Oscar last night for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” More surprisingly, the show opened with the current incarnation of the band — Brian May on guitar and Roger Taylor on drums with Adam Lambert on vocals — performing “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the […]

Biden Is Running, Isn’t He?

Jason’s prediction is looking more likely by the day, as the Associated Press released a big story about how Joe Biden’s vast foreign policy experience makes him unique in the crowded Democratic field for 2020.

Filed in National by on February 24, 2019 7 Comments

Not being a movie person, I have no opinion about who should win anything at tonight’s Academy Awards. But I did see “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and while the movie has been criticized for downplaying Freddie Mercury’s gayness, Rami Malek’s performance is riveting and IMO Oscar-worthy. But while producers have said the soundtrack features a blend of […]
