There’s Always A Delaware Connection. The Rethugs know that they had a disastrous 2022 national election.

There was so little news yesterday that media has been reduced to carrying the brainless ramblings of America’s most disgraced former president. His latest fantasy included the baseless notion that he’s immune from prosecution, which he most definitely is not. The Brazilian criminal George Santos, who got elected to Congress thanks to the incredible ineptitute […]

Good morning, yule survivors. Hope your holiday was happy. I spent part of mine wondering how anti-Semites reconcile their love of Jesus with the fact that he was born, lived and died a Jew. I’m pretty sure the election of George Santos, the con man/congressman-elect from New York, is not the sign of a healthy […]

Good news!: The days will start getting a little longer from now on. Just thought you’d like to know…hang in there. Who Created ‘Libs Of TikTok’? Confession: I’d never heard of it until I read the article, but it’s an anti-LGBTQ Twitter account that has had the likes of Fox and Joe Rogan amplifying its […]

Most Fired Workers Lost Their Jobs For No Good Reason Last Year: These conditions are perhaps why 2022 was a big year for unionization. Unions won more elections than they have in 20 years, with employee rights and job security being the second and third reasons for labor organizing. But unions aren’t the only route […]

How A Walk In The Park Became Putin’s War. Talk about mis-overestimating (H/T to Dubya) your capabilities…: They never had a chance. Fumbling blindly through cratered farms, the troops from Russia’s 155th Naval Infantry Brigade had no maps, medical kits or working walkie-talkies, they said.

We’re back. Didn’t know what happened to Jason–until I got that ‘Wish You Were Here’ postcard from Hawaii. Did he win the lottery, or did he merely abscond with the Delaware Liberal treasury (which wouldn’t have gotten him as far as Marcus Hook)? Anyway, he’s OK, but we’ve put him in ‘time-out’ for the day. […]
