Song Of The Day 5/16: Ronnie Love, “Chills And Fever”
A song about social distancing? Didn’t think so. Tom Jones gave it the ol’ white boy college try: Samantha Fish shows how it should be done:

Trump Dumps Another IG In The Dead Of Night. He apparently flew too close to some Pompeo misdeeds. Effective oversight must not be countenanced. For Those Of You About To Die For The Dow, We Salute You. Paul Krugman tries to make sense of the Rethug obsession with ‘America’s Back’. House Passes $3 Trillion Relief […]

Trump ‘Demands’ That Lindsey Graham Have Obama Testify About ‘Obamagate’. Graham says ‘Nyet’. Be careful what you wish for, indeed. I mean, could you imagine? BTW, a Trump war of words with Graham can only help the D who is running against Graham. This guy. He’s raised a lot of money, even outraised Graham in […]
Delaware Congressional Delegation Silent On Trump’s Plan to Put Obama on Trial
Trump has ordered congress to put Obama through a show trial for something the right wing fever swamps calls “OBAMAGATE” (a largely incoherent conspiracy theory that positions former President Obama as the mastermind behind a conspiracy to use federal law enforcement to undermine Trump’s campaign and presidency).
This dangerous and outrageous demand has been met by silence by Delaware’s congressional delegation.
Song Of The Day 5/15: David Crosby, “Almost Cut My Hair”
As Alby is in transit, today’s song is all about me. Oh, sure, I might have been short-changed in the height department, and I might be one or two (or so) pounds over my ideal weight, but there is no denying my Samsonesque locks. Women have been remarking about my hirsute hotness for decades now. […]
How the Counties Have Screwed the Schools By Failing to Reassess Property
Property taxes in Delaware are a mess. Everyone who pays any attention to this wonky subject knows that it’s been more than 30 years since any of the state’s counties have reassessed property, so valuations on similar properties can be — excuse the pun — all over the lot. Despite their knowledge of this inherent […]
BREAKING: General Assembly To Reconvene ‘Virtually’ In Late May
Now get this straight: ‘Virtually’ and ‘virtuously’ are not synonyms. The House is scheduled to reconvene on Tuesday, May 26 and the Senate will reconvene on Wednesday, May 27. That’s about all we know so far. Time to dust off my ‘Pre-Game/Post-Game’ chops?
Song of the Day 5/14: Thompson Twins, “Doctor! Doctor!”
Dr. Anthony Fauci has gotten on Trump’s nerves for weeks now, and even a reporter for the Associated Press noticed that it’s making the Man-Baby Menace furious. Has Fauci noticed? Can’t he see Trump is burning, burning? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APyl6Cnbfzw This was the Thompson Twins’ follow-up to their monster 1984 hit, “Hold Me Now.”

Have Rethugs Already Started Civil War? Wisconsin. Michigan. Colorado. Texas. Especially Texas. Pretty much in every state. Egged On By The Rabble Rouser-In-Chief. The conclusion is inescapable: The President is advocating for civil insurrection. This should be a lead story every single day. Not to mention his burial of the CDC guidelines. Trump Vs. Fauci. […]
Song of the Day 5/13: Ice Cube, “Your Money or Your Life”
Pollsters asked people whether they were more worried about public health or the economy. Among Democrats, public health was more important by a 72-16 margin. Republicans, the economy won out, 55-38. So, in essence, a majority of Republicans are like Jack Benny — forced to choose between their money or their life, they’d have to […]

Is This The Precursor To ‘Obamagate’? Probably. If indeed there IS an Obamagate. Painting Michael Flynn as the victim of some dark Obamaesque conspiracy will have no impact outside of what passes for the President’s base. A Powerful Endorsement For Lindsey Graham’s Challenger. From an establishment figure who supported Graham until Graham abandoned McCain. Keep […]
Song of the Day 5/12: Lukas Nelson and Promise of the Real, “Forget About Georgia”
Though a few states never shut down to deal with the coronavirus, Georgia was the first to ease its lockdown restrictions. Gov. Brian Kemp apparently thought he was doing it with the approval of Trump, but the pee-resident slagged him for it within 24 hours. Now the state’s residents have made their feelings known: Only […]
