Face It, Joe. Manchin’s Playing You And All The Democrats. He’s never gonna support the package. He is a Republican. He’s loving every second of his slo-mo betrayal, and the on-screen facetime he gets. Time to offer Murkowski whatever Alaska wants in exchange for her vote. The standoff nonetheless evinced the political divide between Biden […]
Depends® To Sponsor Dave McBride Nostalgia Tour?
Rumor has it that McBride is getting the geriatric gang together to give himself something, other than seeking to become a normal human being and connecting with his family, to occupy his time. Cue Dick Vitale: “He’s a Diaper Dandy, he’s a P-T-Pee-er!” He’s allegedly made all the necessary contacts. Talked to Dave Swayze and […]

Trump ‘Orders’ Underling To Boycott Jan. 6 Hearings. Underling ‘Complies’. Huh, didn’t think the Last Guy could issue such orders. Or, didn’t think he had the power to issue such orders: Peter Navarro, who served as trade adviser to former President Donald J.

Trump Supporters Face Little Opposition As They Move To Steal Elections: Mr. Lindemuth’s victory in November in this conservative rural community is a milestone of sorts in American politics: the arrival of the first class of political activists who, galvanized by Donald J.

1. Kathleen McGuiness Will Not Go Gently Into That Good Night. She has adopted the Big Lie approach that is the Rethugs’ electoral model. Here is her latest fundraising screed, which appeared in my inbox yesterday: When I ran for State Auditor in 2018, I pledged to bring my small business background and common-sense solutions […]

Some Good (Temporary) Drought Relief News? I’ve recently found myself scanning the weather maps in hopes of seeing some relief from the west/mountain west’s ongoing drought. Looks like we’re finally getting some: Over the next week, three storms should bring substantial precipitation to California and then head east into the Rockies. The first storm is […]

TransPerfect Music City Bowl, Anyone? No, we’re not talking an enlightened LGBTQ sponsor tie-in. We’re talking the batshit-crazy company that seems to exist only to lament their fate in front of Delaware’s Court Of Chancery. Matt Bittle alerted me to this. BTW, some other sponsor tie-ins to meaningless bowl games this year: Famous Idaho Potato […]
RIP: Barry Harris
One of jazz’ greatest pianists, and highly-revered by fans, fellow musicians, and his countless students. I was fortunate enough to see Harris and tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan put on a master class in bop at the Flight Deck (Wilmington version). It might have sounded something like this: Harris performed on an album of duets with […]

Does This Have The Faint Aroma Of Kathleen McGuiness Stench To It? No, it has complete and total McG stench affixed to it. A PAC was registered with the Delaware Department Of Elections yesterday. The PAC is called the ‘Prescription For Change’ PAC. Its stated purpose is ‘to support candidates who make a positive impact […]

Bloody Rethug Primary Set For Georgia: The looming Republican primary opens a new front in the Georgia GOP’s civil war, which traces back to Trump’s loss in Georgia in November. Those divisions played a role in the twin defeats of both of the state’s Republican senators, Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, two months later in January […]

C’mon, folks, get your nominees for 2021 MVP’s (Most Valuable to the Progressive Cause in Delaware) in. Time’s running short. The thread’s a little late this morning. Last night’s Twisted Pine concert was so awesome. Not to mention, as the producer, I’m more than a little worn-out today. Those steps at the Gild Hall aren’t […]
