Experienced Ass-Kisser, Pucker’s Up for Prolonged Ass Kissing
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., will resign from Congress to become CEO of Trump’s fledgling “Media & Technology Group” next month. Nunes, who boasts of being a dairy farmer, will begin his new career despite having no apparent prior experience working in the tech industry or as an executive.
When America Surrenders to Fascism, Will You Stay or Go?
The item below was posted to the “Even More Patriotic Patriots for Delaware” FB page. I agree with the sentiment 100%. The Democratic Party “leadership” doesn’t have any fight in it, mostly because they are doing ok, and suppose they will continue to do ok event after the end of democracy. Many of them are […]
Flag of the Day – Haiti
I mentioned Haiti in the last one of these, and as it happens – Haiti’s flag as an origin story. This is it, in brief. Sugar cultivation in what was then Saint-Domingue was a real shit show for the slaves – but GREAT for the French Barrons, merchants and traders who amassed fortunes! What was […]
Flag of the Day – Barbados
The Babados flag consists of a triband of two bands of ultramarine, which are said to stand for the ocean surrounding the country and the sky, separated by a golden middle band, which represents the sand. A black trident head, commonly called the broken trident, is centred in the golden band, and the fact that […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: November, 2021
A surprisingly strong month, especially considering that I did not include any music that will be on albums released in 2022. The final monthly installment of the year, as I start to put together my 50 Fave Tunes list for 2021. Enjoy!: What? An Adele song? C’mon, admit it. You loved ‘Chasing Pavement’, too. Not […]
Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Delaware GOP…
Witzke is the de facto leader, and most visible member of the Delaware Republican Party. There are a lot of things to not like about Coons. Being a self-proclaimed baby eating Satanist isn’t one of them.
DL Open Thread Tuesday November 30th 2021
Nearly three years ago my Mom was able to die with dignity in her own home in a way that was nearly identical to her expressed wishes. It was pure luck.
She had an end of life directive and a DNR that kept her out of the hospital. That wasn’t the lucky part. Her…
The Beatles
Anybody else watching the making to the ‘Let it Be’ album documentary on Disney+ ? I found it utterly fascinating. Grizzled music industry veterans (at 29 yrs old) trying to re-discover the fun of playing together and get a live album across the finish line. Billy – Simply an amazing keys player and very cool […]
DL Open Thread Monday November 29 2021
Kamala Harris bought a nice thing for her kitchen with her own money – this is an outrage that the DC press cannot condone. Of all of the stupid arguments defending the filibuster, the idea that that the filibuster as it stands in 2021 is a Longstanding Tradition rather than the latest iteration of a […]
More Bad News For Biden (Psst…all news is bad news for Biden)
Right now oil prices back down to 2018 levels. Headlines in a few weeks, probably: “Gas is cheap again. Why this is a problem for Biden” …people who hold the most wildly disproportionate share of power in America — white conservative Protestants — think of themselves as the most oppressed minority group in America, and […]
THE NEW VARIANT – Much Less Important than Owning the Libs
Keep masking in enclosed spaces and in crowds. Avoid A-holes. Enforce vaccine mandates for school, work and travel. If the mandates don’t work, at least they will stop many MAGATs from getting vaccinations.
Look, this news on the new variant isn’t ideal. I think we can all agree on that. But it’s also by no means surprising. The COVID-19 virus is going to be here forever. It’s not going to go away, at least not without an additional set of big medical advances. We have to get used to this. That means it is likely to continue mutating. Some of those mutations might be pretty bad! It’s still true that barring the unprecedented elimination of the virus, we are all going to get it at some point or another.
The issue is to manage the virus. There are all sorts of problems around this. First is the massive disinformation campaign led by Rupert Murdoch’s global media network and the other rich right-wingers who fund this. Second is the fact that western companies and governments are putting profits ahead of vaccinating the world. We can’t really solve the second entirely without solving the first, but we can do a lot more than we are doing. Unfortunately, these are intractable problems right now.
