A Brief Musical Tribute To Stephen Sondheim
My musical sensibilities have been shaped by Sondheim far more than by any other artist. I’m certain that I’ve listened to his music far more than anybody else’s. His death today has made it impossible for me to think of anything else. So many songs run through my head. But when it came time to […]
Delaware Political Weekly: November 19-25, 2021
1. Unashamed RWNJ Announces Congressional Run. He displays promising comedic potential: Christopher Hill is currently a geotechnical driller; he previously spent time as a board certified alcohol and drug dependency counselor in the state, but he majored in political science in college. His interest in politics led to his involvement with campaigns for Terry Spence, […]
McGuiness Used States Funds to Pay Firststateupdate.com to Publish a Glowing Press Release?
It sure seems like she did. See the “Source” below. Also note that the “article” makes no mention of the brazen criminality the “auditor” will stand trial for. BTW – I’m just putting the whole thing here because, being a press release that they posted verbatim, it is not the intellectual property of any website. […]

PLeAsE PESTER & AbUsE YOUr L0CAl SKollBOrED!!!!
Some dumb fucking conservative idiots have gotten into the habit of circulating “shocking” bullshit among themselves, then pretending that the shocking bullshit came from a school in the Caesar Rodney School District. The social media posts bout the “shocking things they are teaching in school” typically include calls to respond to the outrage, and “JAM […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday November 24 2021
State Sen. McBride begins renewed push for paid leave in Delaware McBride says she’s confident the measure will pass next year, despite not having the support of the state’s largest business groups like the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce. She said she’s working to address their concerns. Based on those discussions, she plans to file […]
Empty Headed Journalistic Bothersiderism Isn’t Just for Democrats vs Republicans Anymore
In “Joe Biden Vs The Democrats” Jonathan Chait returns to the tired “both sides are at fault” trope. The twist is that by both sides he means progressive Democrats and Centerist Democrats – blaming them both equally for Biden’s failure to pass his agenda. For anyone paying attention, that is obviously nonsense. 1) It is […]
DL Open Thread Monday November 22nd
Rob Portman, (LAME DUCK-Ohio), and Chris Coons, (D?-Delaware), introduced bipartisan legislation to combat international wildlife trafficking. Maybe it’s a decent bill, maybe not. Knowing Coons, however, I’m going to go ahead and assume that the bill was drafted by lobbyists for the International Wildlife Trafficking Association. The real point of rolling out shit like this […]
Song of the Day 11/20: The Clash, “Somebody Got Murdered”
Actually, two somebodies. Their names were Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber, and while a Wisconsin jury and the judge who oversaw their killer’s trial exonerated him, they were murdered nonetheless, as dead as the lie that America is a noble experiment. It’s not — it’s an experiment to see how far capitalism can go in […]
It is not ok to be nice to Republicans.
The Republican party is filled with psychotic racists who hate America and they need to be crushed at every election down to dog catcher. They need to be social pariahs who relearn how to stay in hiding.
When Coons continually attempts to rehabilitate the reputation of the Grand Old Party, even as their atrocities are unfolding, he isn’t trying to be a good guy. He is propping up psychotic racists for some psychotic reason only he really knows.
Rep. Paul Gosar isn’t really a member of Congress, so Congressional Punishments don’t really matter
The House of Representatives voted Wednesday to approve a resolution that censures Rep. Paul Gosar for posting a photoshopped anime video showing him murder Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The censure strips him of his two committee assignments. Gosar’s response was more or less – “Big Whoop. I’m just here to fuck around and shit post anyway.”
CNN and others call the more “a major rebuke” but let’s face it – Gosar is right abut his tenure. He is a hype-man. He can put his clown show on just as easily without committee assignments.
I liked AOC’s response:
DL Open Thread Wednesday November 17th 2021 – Coons’ Super Secret Bipartisan Caucus Comes Out of Hiding for a Junket to Germany
How many of these Republican members of the
Super Secret Bipartisan Caucus
