Trump’s Attempts To Overturn Election Are Unprecedented. As far from normal as imaginable. Is Trump Hiding Under The Covers? Likely skipping the G-20 summit, can’t even face his sycophants at Mar-A-Lago. To make it even worse, Trump will have to tear down his Mar-A-Lago presidential helipad after Jan. 20. Oh, the indignity. Hugo Chavez Stole […]
Trump’s Plan is to Hopelessly Hobble Biden’s Presidency – Biden’s Plan is to Allow it.
Trump isn’t trying to stay in office, he is trying to insulate himself and extend his presidential immunity beyond his Presidency. To accomplish this he needs to make Biden an irredeemably weak President. We can laugh and point at the clown show, but Trump’s strategy is working. Biden is looking weak, having adopted the posture […]
Song of the Day 11/19: AC/DC, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
Theme song for Trump’s legal team, though I’m skeptical about the “done dirt cheap” part. Of course, they’re cheap from Trump’s standpoint — he’ll just stiff them. AC/DC didn’t break in the States right away. This was the title song to a 1976 LP, recorded while Bon Scott was still alive. The song and album […]

Tyson Food Managers Had ‘Winner-Take-All’ Bet On How Many Workers Would Get Covid. Hey, why should there be limits on management exploitation of workers? Waterloo, Iowa. Trump Policies In One Word: ‘Meanness’. 40%-plus of Americans just want to hurt people. Judge Orders Halt To One Of Those Trump Policies: A judge has issued an emergency […]
UD Spring Enrollment Crashing?
I heard that a very small number of students are enrolled for classes at the University of Delaware for the Spring semester. Typical enrollment is around 19,000 students. The number I heard is so low that, frankly, it seems absurd. If anyone has any firsthand knowledge of the enrollment numbers, or credible second hand information […]
Song of the Day 11/18: King Luan, “There Are No Gnomes in Sweden”
I don’t watch much TV except for my exposure when my wife does — I call it eaveswatching, because I’m usually just listening while I’m doing something else — so until last night I had never seen Jimmy Fallon do a Tonight Show bit called the “Do Not Play List.” The idea is simple enough: […]

Trump Fires DHS Official For Telling The Truth. If you’re paying close attention, he really WAS trying to engineer a coup. Might’ve worked, too, if the election was a little closer. Two Rethugs tried to engineer a coup in Michigan yesterday, then had to walk it back. Y’know, Trump has fired enough public officials that […]
The Extraordinary Promise Of A Progressive Delaware State Senate
We have never seen this before in Dover. Not ever. Yes, we have had progressive legislators in the Delaware General Assembly, but they have consistently faced uphill battles against the Delaware Way and the ‘leadership’ that perpetuates the Delaware Way. Like the leadership of the House D Caucus, which may only be one more election […]
Who Were Delaware’s 2020 MVP’s (Most Valuable To The Progressive Cause)?
This was the best year for progressives in Delaware ever. You all saw it, you all took part in it, you all basked in the success. Meaning, it is now time for you to submit YOUR nominees for those who were most valuable to the progressive cause in Delaware. I have one rule: When you […]
Biden will be repaid with mountains of scorn
Great plan Joe. It has 0.0% chance of working, but whatevs. #Bygones.
Song of the Day 11/17: James Gang, “Walk Away”
People think of the James Gang as Joe Walsh’s old band from Cleveland, but despite fronting the power trio and doing most of the songwriting during its 1968-71 heyday, Walsh was neither the first nor last to hold that job — the best-known was Tommy Bolin, who later joined Deep Purple — in a band […]

Stoopid Rethug Governor Finally Issues Mask Mandate. Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds joins North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum in finally facing reality. Months, and many deaths, too late. BTW, North Dakota has reached the highest Covid mortality rate in the world. South Dakota close behind. Give me liberty AND give me death. Lindsey Graham Pushing To […]
Coons Super-Bipartisanship Strikes Out Again
The GSA reports directly to congress and works for the people of the United States of America. Congress has enormous influence in every federal agency including the GSA.
And yet – in spite of his best efforts to leverage his super-bipartisan powers & friendships – Coons can’t get A SINGLE FUCKING REPUBLICAN to join him in putting pressure on the General Services Administration Administrator Emily Murphy to sign off on the transition.
Fucking useless, Coons. USELESS!
