When 85-year-old country music legend Willie Nelson joined 46-year-old Texas Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) on stage Saturday night in Austin, they were greeted by more than 50,000…

Coons has taken his victory lap on TV and in Delaware City and that's great. Good for you Chris. But's let's look at what passes for Coons style bipartisan comity…

When I first learned about him through his pop radio friendly "Workers Playtime" album (1988), Billy Bragg had been a pain in Thatcher's ass for a number of years. The…

The songs I come back to are mostly English/80's/political/frequently gay. We'll start today with perhaps the most upbeat and dancebale protest song ever - Free Nelson Mandela by the Specials AKA (1984) [embed]https://youtu.be/2_G7vzJwcYM[/embed]

DELAWARE in 2068, like large portions of the lowland east coast, is a soggy economic ghetto populated by people who can't afford to move to higher ground and who live in moldy, chronically flooded homes. Science fiction? Nope. It has already begun:

“The Great Migration was out of the south into the industrialized north, whereas this is from every coastal place in the US to every other place in the US,” said Hauer. “Not everyone can afford to move, so we could end up with trapped populations that would be in a downward spiral. I have a hard time imagining what that future would be like.”

There is now a fourth allegation against Kavanaugh, and it involves physical assault as an adult. At four, Kavanaugh, still trails Trump by 23 sex assault allegations.

Sheesh...

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has been in strong shape for re-election all cycle, and he continued his dominance by widely outraising his Republican challenger, state Sen. Scott Wagner, over the last several months. But the most amazing detail to come out of the candidates' new financial reports is the fact, uncovered by Daily Kos contributing editor Adam Bonin, that Wagner reported losing $631,000 in campaign funds between June 5 and Sept. 17 thanks to unsuccessful investments in a brokerage account. As Bonin notes, it's astoundingly irresponsible to invest donor money, as Wagner's huge losses show. In fact, an earlier report saw Wagner's investments drop by astounding $1.5 million, though in other periods, he's seen gains—but that's exactly the point: The extreme volatility of investing in securities poses a huge risk to funds that contributors are entrusting to you. What's more, the stock market has made solid gains this year (the S&P 500 is up over 9 percent in 2018), so how in the hell did Wagner manage to lose so much money while most investors were doing well?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez noted that our swing voters are not "the middle" but people who never voted before. Makes sense, but what does that really look like? What would it take for Democrats to stop chasing the mythical "center" and start putting some real energy into activating voters who would be inclined to vote for Democratic candidates on election day? My sense is that instead of "left, middle, right" we'd end up with a scale that looked something like ...

Ken Simpler nearly killed a kid at Princeton by plying him with alcohol. "45 students suffered alcohol-induced medical problems" at a party run by Simpler. Princeton Borough prosecutor, Michael Barrett, said "I've never been involved in a case with a bartender that produces the hospitalization of 15 people."  One of Simpler's underage hazing victims was in a coma for a week.  The judge who sentenced Simpler said, "Only luck prevented death." In the end Ken Simpler got a slap on the wrist, then complained that the slap was too hard. Ken Simpler will be the GOP nominee for Governor of Delaware in 2020. Kavanaugh's yearbook page gives you an idea of how many chances these guys get. Criminality is the theme, and the contempt...

Blackout Drunk Afluenza Asshole, Brett Michael Kavanaugh, now says that he never "had sex in high school or many years after." I actually believe that. His game SUCKED. I mean swinging your dick in some girl's face?!?! That's not sexy broh.

Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 11/9" is a provocative and comedic look at the times in which we live. It will explore the two most important questions of the Trump Era: How the f**k did we get here, and how the f**k do we get out? It's the film to see before it's too late.

That's the distributors blurb. Here's mine.

A poll came out. They said everybody is going to vote in 2020, because they want to vote for the President. But they are not maybe coming out in 2018. Get out in 2018. Because you are voting for me in 2018. You are voting for me. You are voting for me.
