Song of the Day 11/19: AC/DC, “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”
Theme song for Trump's legal team, though I'm skeptical about the "done dirt cheap" part. Of course, they're cheap from Trump's standpoint -- he'll just stiff them. AC/DC didn't break…
UD Spring Enrollment Crashing?
I heard that a very small number of students are enrolled for classes at the University of Delaware for the Spring semester. Typical enrollment is around 19,000 students. The number…
Biden will be repaid with mountains of scorn
Great plan Joe. It has 0.0% chance of working, but whatevs. #Bygones.
Coons Super-Bipartisanship Strikes Out Again
The GSA reports directly to congress and works for the people of the United States of America. Congress has enormous influence in every federal agency including the GSA.
And yet - in spite of his best efforts to leverage his super-bipartisan powers & friendships - Coons can't get A SINGLE FUCKING REPUBLICAN to join him in putting pressure on the General Services Administration Administrator Emily Murphy to sign off on the transition.
Fucking useless, Coons. USELESS!
Song of the Day 11/16: The Association, “Along Comes Mary”
Voters in New Jersey, Arizona, South Dakota, and Montana legalized recreational marijuana two weeks ago, bringing the total to 15 states with legal weed. It's a far cry from 1966,…
Likud Lobbying Hard for Coons to Be Sec of State
Coons is said to be the figure most visibly lobbying for the job, according to Politico. Last May, an article appeared in Jewish Insider claiming that Coons had “the inside…
Help a Blogger Out
I'd like to speak to anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 and Biden in 2020. I know it is rare, but I'd be curious to know what tipped the…
Song of the Day 11/15: Rickie Lee Jones, “Show Biz Kids”
Good covers of Steely Dan songs are hard to come by, and this is generally acknowledged as one of the best. Rickie Lee Jones gave Fagen and Becker's nasty riff…
Song of the Day 11/14: Scandal, “Goodbye to You”
To everything there is a season, and with you-know-who in mind, this is the season for kiss-off songs. This New Wave classic by Patty Smyth and Scandal was the standout…
Song of the Day 11/13: Steve Miller Band, “Take the Money and Run”
Trump's stubborn fandom will forever perplex me, but I think it's related to the way Americans lionized bank robbers during the Depression, or outlaws like Jesse James in the post-Civil…
Sorry about the comments approval shit
Fact is this is a leaky old boat. We might have to leave it up for the archives and more onto a newer model for posting and commenting.
REV talks with Atnre Alleyne
"Mike Matthews situation" is listed in the show notes, so I'll have to listen to see if Atnre cops to the media take-down he pulled off.
Also, for the record, I have first hand knowledge of the fact that Teensharp is doing some good work.
“Dems in Crisis” Narratives Running Rampant, Natch
Phillies great Mike Schmidt described playing in Philadelphia as experiencing "the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day."
As a proud Democrat, I can relate to that sentiment. Republicans are always in attack mode and the media is always eager to internalize every GOP attack and enshrine every conservative talking point as unassailable conventional wisdom.
In turn, Dem "moderates" "strategists" and "consultants" are always eager to rush to show how much they agree with the GOP talking points.
So is this morning's biggest threat to the Republic Trump and his half-assed coup? Is it the worsening pandemic? No. Of course not.
It is AOC. It is the term "Defund the Police"
