Lauren Boebert has an “I’m not a witch” moment, denying lurid rumors about her when no one asked CARLA SINCLAIR 4:22 PM MON JUL 25, 2022 A paranoid Lauren Boebert doesn’t know when to stay silent, insisting that she is not an escort — at least not one for Ted […]
Song of the Day 7/26: Joni Mitchell, “Just Like This Train”
Joni Mitchell, rarely seen in public over the last decade, played what amounted to a whole set Sunday at the Newport Folk Festival. Her appearance wasn’t announced in advance — the performance was billed as “Brandi Carlile and Friends,” and Carlile was at Mitchell’s side throughout, along with a clutch of admiring younger musicians that […]
Convicted State Auditor Conduct MUCH WORSE Than What Was Revealed in Court
With his shameful motion to dismiss the conviction of the State Auditor, Woods opened a can of worms. Read the items that were excluded in his favor and see that one of the items was the convicted auditor’s access to emails outside of the “State’s enterprise.”
So who was the subject of this (no doubt illegal) covert surveillance? Who’s email account outside of the “State’s enterprise” was McGuiness keeping tabs on? Now I’m hoping this goes to appeal, because I think we’ve only seen the tip of the shit-berg known as Kathy McGuiness’ term as State Auditor.
REV & Bill Cover The Special Session – People in Log Homes Shouldn’t throw Cans of Kerosene
Pete and his comrades in the GOP have a flimsy argument to make. An argument as likely to fall on their heads as Bonini’s rickety log home.
The Kathy fight moves across the green to Legislative Hall as the State Senate considers a resolution to remove Kathy McGuiness from office. We walk through the play by play before talking about what might be next in the legislative process.

Shorter Pete: Kathy is innocent until a guilty verdict has been entered by the Superior Court and she is removed by the Governor.
Also Today:
– White supremacy at the heart of today’s “pro-life” movement.
– Only 49 days until Delaware’s primary. Are you doing enough to help further retire the retired Cops who rule this state?

Vote Blue No Matter Who (?)
Establishment Dems exhort liberals and progressives to “hold their nose” and vote for execrable establishment Dems because otherwise “the bad Republicans will..blah blah blah…” But when someone the sober moderates aren’t crazy about wins a primary, does the establishment hold its collective nose and “vote blue no matter who”? What do you think?
“Oz Cries To Fox News As Fetterman Manhandles Him”
You’ve probably seen stories like this. Fetterman is just clowning the fuck out of Oz and High Dems like Chris Coons think it is unseemly. They think Fetterman should be releasing some white papers on how “complicated income tax rebate schemes” are the heart of the Democratic Party. Well fuck you Coonsie! I love it. […]
Song of the Day 7/25: Iron Maiden, “Run to the Hills”
h/t Unstable Isotope, who wondered why nobody had set the Hawley Trot to this heavy metal classic. In the world of heavy metal, Iron Maiden is as big a band as Metallica, but it’s never gotten the same respect in the US as it has internationally. You can tell because Metallica sailed into the Hall […]

Convicted State Auditor, Kathy McGuiness, is still ridiculous. (See below). The “independent state legislature” theory is both transparently idiotic and a major threat to American democracy The only operative unifying theory in all of these (“INDEPENDENT STATE LEGISLATURE” THEORY) cases is “Republicans are entitled to govern even if voters prefer Democrats.” I have no […]
