Senator Chris Coons will be able to find middle ground with the GOPers who want to blow up the world economy and burn down the Republic

Song of the Day 1/11: Thompson Twins, “Lies”
This slice of ’80s electro-Brit cheese is exactly what Rep. George Santos (R-Who Knows?) deserves. The Republican Party in Nassau County, where Santos got elected, called a news conference to demand his resignation. He said he would not.

Song of the Day 1/10: Jethro Tull, “Skating Away (On the Thin Ice of a New Day)”
To give you an idea how long ago the “classic rock” period was, Ian Anderson wrote this song for Jethro Tull’s “War Child” album in 1974, when scientists had concluded Earth was entering a cooling phase. Anderson approached it with his usual apocalyptic existentialism, but the lyrics are impressionistic, so the folk melody and lilting […]

Ok. I’m presuming that there are hundreds of tickets left based on the DeGOP’s demonstrated ability to get people to show up at things.
Also Today: Biden’s lawyers discover classified materials and immediately contact the appropriate agencies to inform them of the situation to get things returned as quickly and forthright as possible. So obviously he deserves to be impeached for it.
Survey Shows 81% of Republicans are Dumb Shitheads
Trump really has a hold on those idiots. TBH, 81% is actually a higher than I expected. (In a recent CBS News-You Gov poll) 81 percent of registered Republican respondents said that they want potential GOP candidates to have similar “policies and proposals” to Trump, while 19 percent want them to have different ones. … More […]

Song of the Day 1/8: Prince and the Revolution, “Let’s Go Crazy”
Now that Kevin McCarthy has handed the loonies the keys to the new 2023 Congressmobile, they need a song to play on the radio — a theme song, if you will. How about this Prince number from 1984’s “Purple Rain”? Though you could make the argument that the so-called Freedom Caucus doesn’t have to go […]
