The coordinated attack on our elections is an attack on our constitutional democracy

I hate to give the Patriots for Delaware any oxygen, but this can’t be laughed off or ignored.  Witzke is a clown and out-right screw-ball, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a well-funded, coordinated attack on our democracy going on in Delaware.  This shit needs to be repudiated LOUDLY by every public official, Republican […]

Song of the Day 10/26: Paul Simon, “René and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on October 26, 2021 1 Comment

Plenty of songs were inspired by photographs — I might steal an idea from El Somnambulo and do a theme week of them — but this one is special. It pairs one of Paul Simon’s sweetly melancholy jazz-flavored melodies with lyrics that echo the surrealism of Rene Magritte’s paintings. It sprang from a photograph of […]

The Next Generation of Delaware Leadership is Almost Exclusively Female

Lisa Blunt Rochester is probably going to replace Carper amicably (although I’d prefer a violent primary battle).  Sarah McBride clearly has statewide potential and ambitions.  Kathy Jennings must be considered in that group.   Will Chris Coons continue to rot in place and defy the manifest will of Delaware’s voters?  Betting on Coons being allowed to pull a Bill Roth is a long shot. Coons is no Roth. That means only Matt Meyer  has path to a future statewide office.

I’m not saying the matriarchy will be any more enlightened of progressive than what we’ve had, but I’m not sad. The guys…

Song of the Day 10/24: Glen Campbell, “Wichita Lineman”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on October 24, 2021 2 Comments

This song contains a not-quite-rhyming couplet that many people consider, in the words of British author Dylan Jones, “one of the most exquisite romantic couplets in the history of song.” Jones has written an entire book about what he calls “the world’s greatest unfinished song.” Jimmy Webb wrote it at the direction of Glen Campbell, […]

Lauren, If you think it is real, and you think it will damage you, then I hereby put my liberal curse on you. Ex-post facto, coitus interuptus!!
