I saw the Barbie movie….and I loved it!

If you know and like movies by Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird, Little Women), you know what you are getting into.  You’ll see women pulled in every direction all at once. You’ll see the unremitting gaslighting that the patriarchy puts women through on a daily basis. You’ll see douche bros being douche bros. But you’ll also […]

Song of the Day 7/20: Chuck Berry, “My Ding-a-Ling”

Marjorie Taylor Greene, demonstrating the keen judgment she’s known for, used the occasion of a congressional hearing to show nude pictures of Hunter Biden to the public. The collective reaction has been what texters express as “SMH.” She’s apparently unaware that those texters, and everyone else under the age of 40, routinely send such photos […]

To figure out if Jason Aldean’s song is pro-lynching pay attention to what the Klan and MAGAs say about it. They’ll let you know.

Jason Aldean @Jason_Aldean In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not […]

Phoenix just had its 19th consecutive day of temperatures reaching 110° F – the high for the day was 118° – and there’s no sign of when it will abate. The media attention is welcome, and might even convince the public that it’s time to shut the barn door now that the horse is out. […]

Top 3 Reasons Eugene Young SHOULD NOT Run for Congress This Year

For people who like Eugene Young and want to see him have a political future.  

  1. The campaign was caught flat footed, which is a very bad sign
  2. The New Castle County County Job is wide open.  Take that then primary Coons.

The usual tiny-dick idiots want to be able to bring their machine guns to the Delaware State Fair.  

Gun rights group slams Delaware State Fair ban on firearms: ‘blatant insult’

“The Delaware State Fair is now officially anti-gun,” an email blast recently sent to members of the Delaware State Sportsmen’s Association (DSSA) proclaims. The notice sounds off against a policy that prohibits patrons, vendors, exhibitors, volunteers and employees from carrying firearms at the fair from July 20-29, 2023.

The Delaware State Fair website states that “weapons of any kind or objects that appear to be weapons are prohibited and may not be brought onto the fairgrounds.”

Song of the Day 7/18: Judas Priest, “Breaking the Law”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on July 18, 2023 2 Comments

Against all odds, it seems Donald Trump is going to be indicted for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. I’m not sure whether he’ll be charged with being the mastermind or just a master baiter. This song, the second single from Judas Priest’s 1980 album “British Steel,” reached No. 12 on the UK singles […]

Dem Party primaries are good, except the ones I don’t like. They are bad.

Dem Party primaries are good, except the ones I don’t like. They are bad.

I don’t think people should get out of the way for other people.  Since the Democratic Party is the only remaining statewide party in Delaware, the primary IS the election.  So have it out.  Tell us the “democratic approach” to holding the office you want.   Get your people fired up.

Just don’t get into tearing down other candidates.  Those are the ones I don’t like.
