Song of the Day 4/8: The 1910 Fruitgum Company, “Indian Giver”
Baseball is back, which seems to be a mixed blessing in Georgia, where the GOP’s existential panic over its suckitude cost Atlanta the annual all-star game. I suppose Braves fans would call MLB Indian givers. Seriously, though, with fans back in the stands and sports leagues starting to root out Native American nicknames, some are […]
DL Open Thread Thursday, April 8, 2021
Delaware Republicans are shitting themselves over the inability of ammosexuals to intimidate lawmakers with the General Assembly meeting via Zoom, so they’re demanding a return to in-person sessions. Rep. Tim Dukes (R-Nepotism) said the quiet part out loud: Dukes added that holding public comment on the gun control bills to one minute stifled conversation, and […]
Song of the Day 4/7: Winger, “Seventeen”
H/t Foster McKenzie for this one, which I had never heard. He’s right, this should be Matt Gaetz’ rally music, not just for the apt lyrics but for its general cheeziness. Grunge might not be everyone’s favorite rock genre, but this is a good reminder of the played-out formula it replaced. This was one of […]
Q: When does Krista Griffith like progressive initiatives?
DL Open Thread: Wednesday, April 7, 2021
In today’s open thread we learn that Matt Gaetz sought a “blanket pardon” from outgoing President Pussy Grabber. You know, a blanket pardon …like the kind all innocent people try to line up. Also: more Chauvin is guilty as fuck, team Biden continues to impress as Yellen makes case for a global minimum tax on multinational corporations, and other stuff.
Song of the Day 4/6: They Might Be Giants, “Minimum Wage”
In keeping with today’s theme. Though they more recently gained attention for kids’ records like “Here Come the ABCs,” 30 years ago They Might Be Giants — basically the duo of John Flansburgh and John Linnell — were at the peak of their popularity as a post-new wave alternative band. Their 1990 LP “Flood,” overflowing […]
Coons & Carper Join w/ Manchin to Torpedo Biden’s Infrastructure Bill?
Manchin says that he has 6 fellow Democrats on board to kill Biden’s infrastructure bill as it is currently written.
I’d be very surprised to learn that the Delaware Senate delegation isn’t on board.
DL Open Thread: Tuesday, April 6, 2021- The ‘FUCK FLORIDA’ EDITION
Florida is the floor of the American septic tank. Most of America’s shit a great many of its shitty people (wealthy and impoverished) sink effortlessly into Florida. So in today’s Open Thread, join me in a hearty “Fuck You” to Florida.
DL Open Thread: Monday, April 5, 2021
Spring at last, Spring at last, thank God Almighty…its Spring at last. In today’s OpenThread:
Chauvin is guilty as fuck, but will it matter? Florida is a literal shit hole. Madison Cawthorn is just one of many Republicans voting no on stimulus, but pretending to be stimulus hero in their districts. Unopened Super Mario Bros. game from 1986 sells for $660,000. Are we entering a ‘fourth wave’ of the pandemic? But first, lost of news about America’s least favorite near monopoly.
DL Open Thread Sunday, April 4, 2021
It’s one thing to share a country with dead-end losers who have turned a political party into a death cult. It’s something else entirely when that death cult insists on killing others. Their new obsession — resisting the idea of “vaccine passports,” because their freedom to infect others is more important than the right of […]
Tucker Carlson uncovers the anti-White Power, pro-science truths behind Biden’s nefarious infrastructure plan
Economists and Americans love it, but Carlson urges Fox viewers to not be deceived. Biden’s infrastructure plan is actually pro-science, anti-white supremacy wolf in sheep’s clothing.
“First and most obviously, is this really about infrastructure — bridges, roads, airports, things we can actually use — or is it yet another weird climate scheme-slash-power grab-slash-race-based redistribution plan,” the Fox host asked. “What exactly is this?”
Dear Republicans: This Is Why We Don’t Respect You
I stumbled across a headline today that quoted some random conservative complaining that “maybe if we canceled sports, then they’d respect us.” I hear this all the time: The reason Republicans pursue the culture wars with such fervor is that liberals treat them with disrespect. And we do. And this formulation pretends that the supposed […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, April 2, 2021
Plant That Screwed Up Vaccine Got Huge Grant From Operation Warp Speed. Despite a record of previous mix-ups and violations. Maybe this was part of the reason for the big contract? At the time of the award, that office was led by Assistant Secretary Robert Kadlec. The Post previously reported that before joining the Trump […]
