Coons to denounce Biden’s incoming principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in 5, 4, 3, 2…
It is pavlovian. Some wingnuts accused a Democrat of being anti-israel, so Coons has to jump in to prove how bi-partisan and pro-Likud Party he is. Right-wing media are now setting out to demonize one of President-elect Joe Biden’s newly announced staff appointees, singling out the incoming principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, a former […]
Song of the Day 11/30: Derek Trucks Band, “Down in the Flood (Crash on the Levee)”
Bob Dylan wrote this during the Basement Tapes sessions in 1967 and has recorded it three times (none are available on YouTube, which Dylan’s people police pretty closely). None of his renditions packed the punch Derek Trucks gave the song on his 2009 album “Already Free.” Trucks said he chose the tune because “I figured […]

Biden’s All-Female WH Communications Team: Not a Sarah Huckabee Sanders or Kayleigh McEnany in the bunch. Not to mention Sean Spicer, who does not deserve mention. Also, some encouraging nominees for his economics team, with one contentious pick. Between 800-900,000 Absentee Ballots Requested For Georgia Runoff Election. With more to come. Y’know, the Election Day […]
What Do You Want To See The Delaware State Senate Address Next Year?
For probably the first time in the history of Delaware, the Delaware State Senate has progressive leadership, and more than enough progressive senators to tackle longstanding issues that have been kept on the backburner for years. Keep in mind that, if they try to do everything at once, they may end up getting little done. […]
Delaware’s 10 Most Gullible Dumbfucks
The most gullible dumbfuck is Michele Rollins of Greenville who contributed $58,400 to Trump and Trump supporting pacs.
See the next 9 most gullible dumbfuck (measured in money) below the fold. Three notes on my methodology:
1) Looking at totals contributed isn’t really fair to the broke-ass gullible dumbfucks who really felt the $500 they donated while to Michele Rollins, $58,000 is nothing.
2) Rollins and the other top ten most gullible dumbfucks might be much dumber than these figures show. I only searched by “Trump” in the title and they may have contributed to any number of “Patriot” “Jesus” “Horny for the Flag” PACs that supported Trump without putting his name on the masthead.
3) These figures explode the myth that there are sensible “Mike Castle” Republicans hiding out in “Never Trump” enclaves like Greenville, waiting to take back the party. The wealthy Republicans are every bit as susceptible to Trump’s racist bullshit as the broke-ass losers. The chateaux country zip (19870) contributed $366,490 alone.
Song of the Day 11/29: Raspberries, “Overnight Sensation (Hit Record)”
Though they’re now acknowledged as founding fathers of power pop, Raspberries weren’t fully appreciated in their time. Their Mod-based sound was considered lightweight, their teen-angst lyrics banal, their matching-suits look either eight years too early or eight years too late. In 1972 their bubblegummy “Go All the Way” hit No. 5, and several lesser hits […]

’20 Days Of Fantasy And Failure’. Inside Trump’s quest to overthrow the election. Great stuff for political junkies. Trump Considers Announcing 2024 Run–During Biden’s Inaugural. I hope he does it.

This is a conspiracy theory I can endorse 100%
MAGAs threaten to boycott GA Senate runoff; President Donald Trump’s demonization of mail-in voting may have cost him votes in the recent election. Now, his demonization of Georgia’s entire electoral system is hurting his party’s chances at keeping the Senate. Driven by Trump’s insistence that Georgia’s elections are indelibly rife with fraud, conspiratorial MAGA figures […]

Song of the Day 11/27: L.T.D., “(Every Time I Turn Around) Back in Love Again”
For reasons that don’t matter anymore, disco mostly sucked. But it was closely related to funk, which meant some truly funky music got dance-floor exposure, too. L.T.D. (it stood for Love, Togetherness and Devotion) was founded in 1968 by four horn players from Sam & Dave’s backing orchestra; by the time they landed a recording […]

Song of the Day 11/26: Poi Dog Pondering, “Thanksgiving”
This song has nothing to do with the holiday, but I don’t care, I just like the tune. For me it’s the standout song on “Wishing Like a Maountain and Thinking Like the Sea,” the 1990 breakthrough album for what was then a world-music collective based in Austin, before leader Frank Orrall moved to Chicago […]
