h/t Unstable Isotope, who wondered why nobody had set the Hawley Trot to this heavy metal classic. In the world of heavy metal, Iron Maiden is as big a band as Metallica, but it’s never gotten the same respect in the US as it has internationally. You can tell because Metallica sailed into the Hall […]
Convicted State Auditor, Kathy McGuiness, is still ridiculous. (See below). The “independent state legislature” theory is both transparently idiotic and a major threat to American democracy The only operative unifying theory in all of these (“INDEPENDENT STATE LEGISLATURE” THEORY) cases is “Republicans are entitled to govern even if voters prefer Democrats.” I have no […]
I seem to remember Democrats running on “doing something” once. That was a long time ago. Now we allow our party to be controlled by its two worst members. If those NASA satellite photos that show how Lake Mead is rapidly becoming the Mead Desert aren’t enough to get you concerned about the extreme drought […]
Georgetown Historical Society, proudly flying the treason/Lynyrd Skynyrd flag, is obviously a bunch of MAGA shitheads and racists. They would like the Georgetown Town Council to declare themselves to be MAGA shitheads and racists as well. Common Cause Delaware would like the Georgetown Town Council to NOT declare themselves to be MAGA shitheads and racists. […]
This series in which REV interviews the WFP endorsed candidates is illuminating and inspiring. I think the Shané Darby ep is still locked, but you can start with this James Taylor episode. JULY 15 AT 8:01 AM E195 – Back to the Community (w/James Taylor) State House candidate James Taylor joins Rob in the virtual bunker to […]
Joe Biden would have made a pretty good President 20 years ago. The press would have liked him, and the GOP wasn’t completely bonkers yet. Oh well. Play Offense On Your Home Field (And Act Like It) One can focus too much on “messaging,” especially as there’s not much point in trying to call it […]
Here we are again. You with your morning coffee probably thinking Jason330 is such a snappy writer and has such insightful insights, I’ll bet he has amazing Abs.
And it’s true, I do have amazing pyramidalis, external obliques, internal obliques, and transversus abdominis. To be honest, it is the first thing most people notice about me. But most people are shallow. Not deep thinkers like you and me.
And it is your deep thinking I am depending on. In today’s open thread, instead of a survey of today’s “news” we will be constructing the optimal Democratic candidate from a bunch of spare parts called “One virtue from a Delaware political figure you like, and one virtue from a Delaware political figure you don’t.”
Then we’ll wait for lightning to strike and charge our Franken-candiate via their neck bolts. But mark the rules well – one virtue from a Delaware political figure you like, and one virtue from a Delaware political figure you don’t. Adherence to rules makes the game fun for everyone.
I’ll start and take the lowest of low hanging fruit.
Bethany Hall-Long’s retail politics accumen & John Kowlalko’s passion
I’ll leave it to you to guess which I favor and which I disfavor.
I have mixed feelings about this new political party [Non-Partisan Delaware] forming (congealing?) in Delaware. I might go into why I am thusly mixed in the comments, but I also may not. ITSAFREECOUNTRY! Also see todays graphic (below), and let me know why Democrats can’t beat these idiots. The graphic is campaign lit from Arizona […]
I suck at blogging. I’m still not following the news. But this item penetrated my anti-news carapace.
Judge Charles Atchley Jr was one of the record number of federal judges appointed by former President Donald Trump and rushed into service by Chris Coons, so heck of a job there Coonsie! Always remember that for the GOP, the cruelty is the point. Whenever Coons waxes rhapsodic about bipartisanship, he is indeed singing the praises of cruelty.
As far as anything else happening out there in the world, you’ll have to fill me in via the comments section.
In our smaller world, I met Lydia York and was very impressed. Meet her yourself at an upcoming fundraiser, and donate away.
I also had saw an excellent ‘DelShakes’ production of ‘The Tempest’ put on in Rockwood Park. Standout performances by Gerrad Alex Taylor as Caliban and Lexi Thammavong as Ariel. Runs (Wed – Sun) through July 31st. Buy tickets here.
I have spent a lot of time considering ‘The Delaware Way’ and how it has shaped the Black community, particularly in Wilmington, the place where it’s been most important to Black folks in check. I’ve been reading and re-reading, ‘Delaware: A Jewel of Inconsistencies’, an essay by Alice Dunbar-Nelson. It was written in 1924 and […]
I kinda wanted Biden as the nominee again, but I realize that was out of discomfort around the idea of replacing him as the nominee. Now I’m not sure we have a choice. Erik Loomis at LGM gets to the heart of it: Biden is so massively out of touch with the nation. (See Biden […]
The Onion called Steve Bannon “Trump’s most encrusted advisor”. I also learned an arsonist targeted Dover’s Target. On the whole, that’s not much news for a political blogger. Wait…There is this one good news/bad news item in the New York Times. The good news: Half of G.O.P. Voters Ready to Leave Trump Behind, Poll […]
Why must we amend the Constitution to ban religion’s exalted place among non-rational belief sytems: The lobbying outfit called the Family Research Council is now considered a religion by the Internal Revenue Service. So is Scientology. So basically religion is nothing but a tax dodge and an opportunity to put bigotry into practice under cover […]
