Everything Falls Apart, Police Brutality Edition. This is the late-’60’s all over again. Which demonstrates how little has really changed. My youngest daughter was part of a peaceful protest in Portland yesterday, which was nevertheless tear-gassed by the police. Trump sees this as his ticket to reelection. He may be right. Or, maybe he really […]
Song of the Day 5/30: Sly and the Family Stone, “Runnin’ Away”
The other single from Sly’s influential “There’s a Riot Goin’ On” album. “Family Affair is the No. 1 hit that fueled the 1971 LP’s sales; this one only reached No. 23, but despite its cynical lyrics it was one of the few tracks on the playlist with the laid-back, positive vibe that Stone left behind […]

Supreme Court Upholds Limits On Religious Gatherings. Chief Justice Roberts was the swing vote in the first challenge on COVID-19 restrictions to reach the Court. Federal judge for Delaware rules the same way. Everything Falls Apart, Police Brutality Edition. You just know that Trump will do everything he can to fan the flames. For his […]
Current White House Resident Rambles Incoherently about George Floyd
We all saw what we saw, and it’s very hard to even conceive of anything other than what we did see.
WTF?
Highlands Bunker Hosts Crap Journalist – Very Disappointing/Frustrating Episode
The entire podcast is taken up with Meredith Newman explaining how journalists can’t allow for anything except he said/she said reporting. …otherwise…(?) It is gross. I need a shower.
The sham objectivity of our journalist who give equal time to the truth and to flat out lies IS A BIG PART OF WHAT HAS GOTTEN US HERE.
If you can’t listen to the whole thing just know, 2+2=5 (because some say it equals 4, and some say 6, so it must be 5)
Biden on George Floyd’s Murder by Cops
“We can’t ignore that we are in a country with an open wound right now, A wound far older and deeper than George Floyd’s—George Floyd’s killing—and his brutal, brutal death captured on film. His final words, pleading for breathe. ‘Let me breathe, I can’t breathe.’ It’s ripped open anew this—this ugly underbelly of our society.” […]

Trump Vs. Twitter. Twitter flags tweet for promoting violence. Trump Signs Toothless Executive Order That Could Hurt–Trump: Kate Ruane, senior legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, called the order an attempt to punish social media companies for posts that displease the president. “Ironically, Donald Trump is a big beneficiary of Section 230,” Ruane […]
As Chief Prosecutor, Klobuchar Declined to Bring Charges Against Cop that Killed George Floyd
All my disgust for Klobs is multiplied by 1,000.
While serving as Minnesota’s chief prosecutor between 1999 and 2007, Klobuchar declined to bring charges against more than two dozen officers who had killed citizens while on duty – including against the cop that killed George Floyd.
Can Someone Please Explain This to Me?
We’ve got a bunch of Murkins out there threatening civil government with armed resistance — because they DON’T want to wear masks. Historically speaking, isn’t insurrection a reason to cover one’s face to hide one’s identity? These people also tend to be paranoid about facial-recognition technology. Wouldn’t wearing a mask be a simple way to […]
Song of the Day 5/28: Pavement, “Spit on a Stranger”
As tempers flare over mask-wearing in public, there have been more than a few cases of aggrieved assholes who won’t don a face covering coughing on or spitting at people who challenge them over it. This should be their theme song. It appeared on Pavement’s final LP, 1999’s “Terror Twilight.” The neo-bluegrass band Nickel Creek, […]
Delaware Political More-Or-Less Weekly–Late May Edition
1. A Four-Way R Primary For Governor? It’s possible. Brew Pub owner Neil Shea has filed. State Senator Bryant Richardson has announced that he will run. Grocery store magnate Chris Kenny has been testing the waters. And someone named David Joseph Bosco of Greenwood filed this week. All I can tell you about him is […]
