‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE: #’s 60-41!
I’m having a ball doing this. Self-indulgent? Yes. But I just KNOW that you’re hearing some great tunes that you maybe never would have heard otherwise. Which has been my goal all along. 60. (2019) 59. (2015) ‘Jesus hates your high school dances.’ 58. (2017) Curtis Mayfield is on my Musical Mt. Rushmore. Sampha samples […]
Song of the Day 12/27: Tom Petty, “The Waiting”
This one’s for Donald, who is finding that waiting is indeed the hardest part. The lead single from 1981’s “Hard Promises” reached No. 19 on the Hot 100 but No. 1 on the then-new Mainstream Rock chart. Lead guitarist Mike Campbell is the MVP on this track.

No Room At The Library For The Homeless. When the defacto mayor of Wilmington is Buccini/Pollin, you know, the powerful overlords who steal money designated for low-income housing to build high-rise condos for the wealthy instead, this policy makes perfect sense. The Toxic Tandem of Mayor Mike and BPG continues to be perhaps the most […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE: #’s 80-61!
There are two songs on the list that may, or may not, have made it were it not for the videos. This is one of them: 80. (2016) 79. (2018) 78. (2015) 77. (2011) 76. (2018) Maybe the only (still a) teen on my list. I almost had two songs from her on the list. […]
The Dumbest Thing I Wrote All Year
I was going back through the archives while working on my MVP Awards. Meaning, I went back to January and looked at pretty much every post that had relevance to Delaware. I have been accused, and fairly I might add, of being at least a skeptic and often a cynic. However, as you will see, […]

Cybercom Poised To Attack Russian Election Interference. Will King Cheeto put the kibosh on it? Trump Getting Ripped Off…By Grifters. They’re using his name to raise money that’s not going to his coffers. Quel horreur. They mustn’t be aware of the ‘Only One Grifter At A Time’ rule… Will Murkowski Challenge McConnell On Impeachment? If […]
Bulo’s Fave Tunes OF THE DECADE 100-81!
Man, what a challenge it was to put this list together. It took me months. I’ll definitely be doing this in Spotify format a little later. I had lots of input from my family, and their influence is shot through the list–at least where I agreed with them. 2010 to 2019 is a lot of […]
Song of the Day 12/25: Greg Lake w/ Ian Anderson, “I Believe in Father Christmas”
In the UK, where singles are still a thing, bands frequently write and record Christmas songs in the hopes of scoring a seasonal hit. Greg Lake released this one in 1975, and it’s become one of the more popular holiday tunes of the rock era. Lake intended it as a song against the commercialization of […]
Song of the Day 12/24: Henry Rollins and Stephen Colbert, “Carol of the Bells”
There’s a reason this sounds nothing like a Christmas carol — it wasn’t written as one. In 1914 Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych was commissioned to create a song for choir based on traditional Ukrainian folk chants. He wrote “Shchedryk”, intended to be sung a cappella by mixed four-voice choir, based on four notes he found […]

How Amazon Placed Speed Over Safety Every Single Time. Today’s must-read. If we can only break up one corporation, let it be this one. Even Trump likely agrees. Because he hates Bezos, but still… Rudy: ‘I’m More Jewish Thank Soros’. Soros is a Holocaust survivor, but never mind. Trump Attacks Green New Deal By Going […]
Obama not endorsing Warren, but sorta is endorsing her
Obama tells big money Dem donors that it is their turn to hold their nose.
Last month, former President Barack Obama indicated that he would support any Democrat who ends up winning the primary election. But Obama has reportedly gone the extra mile to support one candidate in particular to wealthy donors: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
Is Star Wars Liberal?
Hate will make you a terrible person. You need to let the hate go.
Every individual is valuable, and nobody was born to be your subordinate or your menial wage slave.
People of decency and goodwill outnumber people of indecency and ill will, but people of goodwill need to show up because evil is relentless.
Friendship, loyalty, and empathy are powerful.
