Song Of The Day: Aug. 28, 2018

I’m digging deep for Dylan covers that you haven’t heard a million times before–and that are good, or at least intriguing. I’ve got some fascinating ones, but I’m open to all your suggestions. Who could possibly bring something new to ‘Like A Rolling Stone’? How about that underappreciated band Spirit, featuring Randy California and Ed […]
Kerri Evelyn Harris For United States Senate
Tom Carper has long since abandoned even the pretense that he legislates on behalf of the average Delawarean.

Chris Johnson For Attorney General
“I will seek justice for those who our legal system leaves behind.” That statement from Chris Johnson appears on every lit piece that the Johnson campaign distributes. Three other words are equally prominent on that same lit piece: “…never a prosecutor.” We endorse Chris Johnson because he is the only candidate for Attorney General who […]

In a blatant ploy to expand our demographic (to a few people under 60), I offer up ‘Boulevard Of Broken Dreams’. Uh, something tells me that Green Day isn’t exactly cutting edge any more…:

Rethugs Get An AG Candidate, And He’s…A Democrat
An African-American Democrat at that. One Bernard Pepukayi, who has worked for both Ruth Ann Minner and, wait for it, Tom Gordon.
