Oh, man.  Got my work cut out for me next week as we wade through the campaign finance reports. I start today, though, with a blank canvas (oops, almost spelled it canvass, which is what I’m doing after I write this Open Thread and get caffeinated).  Let’s color it in. ‘Dog Bites Man’ Headline: The […]

Just A Note Before We Go…Onto Something Other Than The Attempted Swift-Boating Of Tim Walz.  Two notes, actually. The guy who swift-boated John Kerry is the same guy trying to pull the same dirty trick on Walz: The common denominator in both efforts: Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita. LaCivita played a key role in the […]

Vance Tries To Swift-Boat Walz.  Could work. Nobody thought it would work against John Kerry either: Speaking in Michigan, Donald Trump’s Republican running mate said: “You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz? When the United States Marine Corps … asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. I […]

Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries #7: RD 29

Filed in Delaware, Featured by on August 7, 2024 1 Comment

This presents a great pick-up opportunity and a chance to strike a blow against the Delaware Way.  How ‘Delaware Way’ is Bill Bush?  He shepherded Delaware Way developer shortcuts through the General Assembly.  As Lonnie George’s consigliere, he almost single-handedly overthrew the decision of the Del-Tech board to install ‘Dr.’ Mark Brainard as president.  If […]

Who Will It Be?  Who Do You Want It To Be?  I want it to be that folksy Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz.  I think it will be Joel Shapiro.  So that James Carville can gloat about owning the libs.  I hate that beady-eyed sumbitch.  This is the Open Thread, so predict away! Bangladeshi PM […]

Has Trump Become Fat Elvis? Who am I to say no?: He used to seem so formidable, a very real threat to American democracy, the pal of dictators around the world. Now even Putin is dissing him, cutting the very prisoner deal with President Biden that Trump said a few weeks ago the Russian dictator […]

Biden Finalized Prisoner Swap While Withdrawing From Presidential Race.  A truly great accomplishment, quite an example of compartmentalization: For a president who pledged […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, Featured by on August 1, 2024 6 Comments

While few months can ever match last month for music,  these tunes are quite satisfying, with a few genuine stunners in the mix.  Think of it as that follow-up album that people only grow to appreciate years later.  Or–just enjoy the tunes: Nathan’s Fave?: I hear echoes of Whiskeytown.  If you don’t know ’em, you […]

Let’s take a quick […]
