Last Week’s Poll Results and this Week’s Poll
Q: What office should Eugene Young run for? A: Governor of Delaware (53%) Vox populi, the people have spoken. There is one other open seat statewide and it isn’t getting too much attention.

Song of the Day 6/4: Guster, “Demons”
In the modern Republican Party, the measure of success is the ability to attract media attention, which is why Lauren Witzke is the leader of Delaware’s cackle of hyenas. She landed a mention in the Philadelphia Inquirer last week by tweeting out a graphic that shows the term “pride month” morphing into just its middle […]
Song of the Day 6/3: Rufus Thomas, “Do the Funky Chicken”
Being a Republican must be exhausting. You have to be on high alert at all times, sensitive to every threat to Our American Way of Life, plus you have to keep an updated list of who’s on your team and who’s working for its triple enemies Satan, socialism and Soros. It’s not easy keeping track […]
Song of the Day 6/2: Oasis, “Falling Down”
Joe Biden tripped and fell on stage at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony yesterday, thereby demonstrating, according to the wingnutosphere, his absolute unfitness for the office of the presidency.

Song of the Day 6/1: The Police, “Wrapped Around Your Finger”
Remember those Danish documentarians who followed Roger Stone just before and after the 2020 election? They’ve released their film, “A Storm Foretold,” in Denmark, and it’s got some bombshell moments — including one where Stone explains how he’s been manipulating Trump for decades. “He resents any implication that he is handled or managed or directed. […]
Song of the Day 5/31: Little Feat, “Fat Man in the Bathtub”
With Donald Trump in legal quagmire and Ron DeSantis flailing, the GOP’s scrubs see opportunity. Only Mike Pompeo has figured out that he has no constituency. The rest — Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, maybe Rick Perry — have donned track shoes for the presidential primary race. Come next Tuesday they’ll all have to move over. […]

According the the Aztec Debt Ceiling Calendar, this was supposed to be the last day prior to the world being consumed by the gods Tezcatlipoca and Quetzalcoatl. Oh Well. Onward.

The Party of the Nostalgia
Chris Coons is roughly my age. He was born in ’63. He shouldn’t be in lockstep with the oldsheads, but he is. Senator Elect, Blunt Rochester was born in ’62. She is also old beyond her years. The biggest divide in the Democratic Party at this point is not liberals versus moderates. It’s age. It’s […]
Desantis puts American Leftists on notice
Being a proud lefty I sometimes get distracted by what we haven’t yet accomplished (like socialized medicine, gun safety, housing security, worker’s rights, living wages, etc), and so I forget that leftists are an omnipotent behemoth bestriding American politics like a colossus. Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski Desantis says Good Morning: “I will serve two terms, and […]
