No? That's strange.

As I've said, Duncan Black (Atrios) is the nation's leading Coonsologist.

The Real Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan Was Just The Friends We Made Along The Way

Lot's of news that I will skim over like a flat stone on a still lake. For instance, Dr. Anthony Fauci called Senator Rand Paul a liar and a fraud on the record. (Link) Another Trump official was arrested on foreign-agent charges, Rupert Murdoch decided that too many dead viewers isn't good for ratings, and and Tom Brady mocked Trump while laughing it up with Joe All of that before lunch. But first...BIPARTISANSHIP'S last stand. Chris Coons stated, "This time we are sure Lucy will not pull the football away."

Good morning! Insurrectionist Gets a White Person's Sentence (8 measly months for trying to overthrow the government). Remember Crystal Mason? She was the person of color sentenced to five years in prison for a mistaken vote that was not counted. If you don't think America is racist as fuck, you've got your head up your ass. (Related - Senator Coons suggests, "Maybe some bipartisanship can fix American racism?") According to a former Republican National Committee senior official, twice-impeached president Donald Trump will run again in 2024. I think we all know what this means – Chris Coons will call for (wail for? moan for? plead for?) more bipartisanship. It is a proven fact, bi-partisanship, and only bi-partisanship can fix it. #Vanlife was a covid-era style of genteel homelessness dressed up to look like freewheeling adventure. Turns out life in a 30-40sq foot metal box (even one on wheels) isn't as glamorous as it has been made to look and vanlifers are parting ways with their vans with de-covidivication. Reached for comment, Senator Chris Coons stated emphatically that #vanlife is is a pressing issue that can be resolved only through bi-partisanship. Yesterday: Coons: Bipartisanship will prevail on Infrastructure Deal GOP: Bipartisan infrastructure deal has no chance BUT FIRST….Ernesto Lopez and his now open-ass seat are still all the buzz. You can read all about it here at BlueDelaware :So Long Ernie Lope, or read the original by Delaware’s foremost leg hall watcher, El Som, here: Ernie Lopez Merely Bowed to the inevitable Hmmm…Original or inferior copy? Not a tough choice from my perspective, while Senator Chris Coons recommends a bipartisan approach to deciding.

I wasn't paying much attention to news this weekend. Anything interesting happen? Let's see... As my sage colleague observed, the Earth continues to try and rid itself of the human infestation. President Joe Manchin said maybe we can have infrastructure, but President Lindsey Graham said, not so fast. Of the Republicans vying to take on the weak, ineffective Joe Biden.  Pence isn't looking so good. 477 days Until Mid-terms November 8, 2022 

The de facto leader of the Delaware DEGOP, Lauren Witzke, has gone full blown KKK. The white nationalist and typical Delaware Republican has crossed over from being a crank to…

It is going to be disgusting to hear people put laurels on Ernie's cowardly noggin. Once regarded as a "different" Republican, he spent the Trump years in hiding. Also - I'm sure there is a sordid side to his quitting. But I'm too disgusted by his public behavior to care much about his private shit.

What? No? Oh well. Everything else is just talky-talk.

This Seth Meyers clip does a good job rounding up the GOP anti-vax lunacy which (along with the big lie) IS NOW A KEY PLANK in their platform. They are…

Kathy McGuiness would like you to know that she audited something.  #Auditorizing I haven't followed this Wesley/Del State thing, but I did learn that this is the first time a HBCU acquired another higher education institution. That's something.  I also learned that the new acquisition is going to be trimmed back to health oriented programs and called "Wesley College of Health & Behavioral Sciences".   #coolnames A total of 286 restaurants in Delaware are going to receive nearly $68 million in grants. Restaurants were hit hard last year so this that I say "GREAT!" but also say, "Now pay your people a living wage".   #tippedminisbullshit In BLASIUS INDUSTRIES, INC., v. ATLAS CORPORATION, (1988) Delaware Chancery created the legal doctrine shortened to Blasius.  It states that directors who act with the primary purpose of interfering with a stockholder vote must have a compelling justification for their conduct.  I had to look that up because this (Blasius Is Alive and Well in Delaware) is the best headline related to the Elon Musk testimony happening in Wilmington. #youvebeenmusked Rather, that was the best headline until the guy vomitted. #updates Paul Baumbach finds that humanity and decency is a tough sell in Leg Bargain Basement.  Maybe if the terminally ill scraped together enough money to engage some scumbag lobbyist? #Brydisdisgusting. But first... You don't have to wear a mask, wash you hands, cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, or basically be a decent human anymore.  #butwhynottryitforonce        

Hello Friend, This week the Delaware Call presents two poems excerpted from Phillip Bannowsky's new novella, Jacobo the Turko; a novel in verses. The narrative is told in a series of…

A bunch of rats are now pretending that they were the secretly opposing Trump from within the West Wing.  How are they doing it?  By testifying?  By bringing charges?  No, by feeding gossipy shit to Michael Wolff and Bob Woodward. #heros Representative Adam Kinzinger may be the most decent Republican elected official in America. His politics are probably garbage, but it doesn't take a lot of integrity to stand out in the integrity wasteland that is the modern day GOP. Some federal money to redress the 1957 rape of Wilmington? #coldcasefiles Texas House Democrats have more guts than most of our gutless Beltway Bubble Dems. The DC elite Dems have the Presidency, Senate and House but are powerless. The Texas Dems got fuck all except for a willingness to fight.
