Not Breaking: Chris Coons is a Lowlife Piece of Shit
We all know that America is wholly fucked. Many blame the GOP, but the GOP is just being the GOP that Democrats allow it to be. Democrats like Chris Coons. A Democratic senator questioned the timing of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s fiery speech last week trashing Republicans over negotiations about raising the federal debt […]
Song of the Day 10/22: The Guess Who, “Undun”
Randy Bachman wrote a lot of classic rock hits for the Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive, most of them on a guitar he bought when he was 19 years old with money he made mowing lawns, a 1957 Gretsch 6120 Chet Atkins model in western orange with black DeArmond pickups. It was stolen in 1976, […]

How Do You Replant A Billion Trees? With Drones: While many think of drones as a toy or, in battle, a lethally precise military tool, Flash Forest has gone a new route: It’s deploying drones to nourish life. The 20-person Toronto company is using a fleet of unmanned vehicles to seed the ground with trees […]
Song of the Day 10/21: Crash Test Dummies, “Superman’s Song”
I don’t know if anything was lost in translation, but I hear the Faux News Freakout of the Week is over DC Comics changing Superman’s slogan from “Truth, Justice and the American Way” to “Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow.” Never mind that DC Comics are sold around the world, and that the majority of […]

Bleepin’ Joe Manchin: His pathological need to be the center of attention is the only way in which he can be described as a ‘centrist’. A total dick. Of course he’d float the idea of leaving the D Caucus. After killing key climate change legislation. Yet More Rollbacks Of Popular Proposed Policies In Biden Package. […]
Lots of Optimism – But the Az Senator who is Out Coons-ing Coons is Still a Wild Card
Simema is vying to be the Coonsiest Coons that ever Coons-ed:: The Wall Street Journal today reports that Sinema “has told lobbyists that she is opposed to any increase” in taxes on high-income individuals, businesses, or capital gains. Her opposition is reportedly “pushing Democrats to more seriously plan for a bill that doesn’t include those major revenue increases.” If […]
This crazy-ass motherfucker has actual followers. Many of them.
This is a few days old, but it is worth reflecting on the full narcissistic shitheadedness of Trump’s statement on the passing of Colin Powell. And to pre-empt any idiot who wants to argue “but you don’t like Colin Powell, so Trump must be right.” First of all – go fuck yourself. Secondly, one crumb of truth in Trump’s statement doesn’t rescue it from being the insane ravings of a dipshit with the mind of a dim bulb seventh grader. Thirdly, go fuck yourself once more.

How Much More Popular Stuff Will D’s Excise From Package To Satisfy The Two Bomb-Throwers In The Caucus? Lots more: The potential new price range marks a significant reduction from the $3.5 trillion that some Democrats initially pursued under a budget agreement chiefly brokered by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) earlier this year. But it is […]
Senate Redistricting Hearing: Comments On The Comments
I’m annoyed. I’m annoyed at some of tonight’s speakers, including those from the ACLU and the League Of Women Voters. Even though…we are members of the Delaware Chapter of the ACLU. Virtually all of tonight’s hearing focused on a few districts in Sussex County. Three speakers complained that the beachfront community of Slaughter Beach was […]
Song of the Day 10/19: Jonathan Richman, “Velvet Underground”
I haven’t seen the new Todd Haynes documentary about the Velvet Underground yet, but many of the reviews make a point of praising his affecting interview with Jonathan Richman. Though VU influenced thousands of bands, Richman is the sole musician Haynes shows talking about that. Richman met the Velvets as a teenager — the documentary […]

Delaware House Of Representatives Public Hearing: Comments On The Comments
Well, first and foremost, the R’s are not happy with Mike Ramone being placed in Paul Baumbach’s district. House Minority Leader Danny Short spoke to that, as did several of Ramone’s constituents. Schwartzkopf gave some mumbo-jumbo about the numbers and how they had no choice. Except–Ramone is right on the district boundary. Both the ACLU […]
