Coronavirus Grows Exponentially In US. For the most up-to-date count on the pandemic, the Johns Hopkins interactive map is the place to go. As I write this, the US is at 6496 confirmed cases and 114 confirmed deaths. By the time I finish writing this, the numbers will be higher. BTW, Trump claims he knew […]
Dan Lipinski, “The Illinois Coons” Ousted in Primary
Ousting horrible collaborationist Democrats is doable. It is more important than ever that we all get involved with the Jess Scarane campaign. Door to door canvasing has been suspended. Since he is funded by billionaires and huge multi-national corporations, coronavirus tilts the playing field in Coons’ favor. We all have to work to blunt that […]
Song of the Day 3/17: R.E.M., “It’s the End of the World as We Know It”
Doubling up on R.E.M. here, I know, but I was saving this one until I was certain the Good Old Days were well and truly over. Other people seem sure of it, too — the song, originally released on “Document” in 1987, has re-entered the charts, so to speak, meaning the Top 100 songs on […]

We’re all watching the COVID-19 story. Here’s one that Trump and Barr snuck by us under the cloak of All Coronavirus All The Time: Justice Department Abandons Prosecution Of Russian Firm Indicted In Mueller Probe. The trial was scheduled to start on April 6. Gee, this sure sounds suspicious: The stunning reversal came a few […]
Hannity was calling Coronavirus a hoax a mere 8 days ago
How does Sean Hannity have a TV show?
His malicious assholery isn’t some artifact of ancient history. It is ongoing.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): We gotta be very real with the American people, I don’t like how we’re scaring people unnecessarily. And that is that unless you have an immune system that is compromised, and you are older, and you have other underlying health issues you’re not going to die 99% from this virus, correct?
DOUG COLLINS: That is correct Sean, it’s good to be with you again.
HANNITY: Alright so that’s the point, I mean they’re scaring the living hell out of people. And I see I seeing them again as like oh, okay, let’s bludgeon Trump with this new hoax
A few of my favorite Covid19 social distancing podcasts
Make some calls to help Jess defeat Coons
Since you can’t knock on doors, please consider phone banking for Jess Scarane. I’m a tech dummy, but even I found it a very easy system to use.
Since we can’t canvass due to coronavirus, we will be phonebanking instead! We need to make up for not being able canvass so it’s really important to get everyone on the dialer right now. We will be phonebanking from noon-9pm tomorrow as well. Who can join??
Song of the Day 3/16: R.E.M., “Stand”
A song for when everybody is on lockdown. Just stand in the place where you are. Listen to reason Reason is calling Your feet are going to be on the ground Your head is there to move you around Peter Buck called this “the stupidest song we ever wrote,” but it was that way on […]

Oh Fuck, No!
This is bad. If Biden goes with Klobuchar it will make Gore’s selection of Joe Lieberman look good in comparison.

NYTimes Coronavirus Coverage Is Free. Check back here early and often for updates.

Shit’s as real as […]
