Still recovering from producing a great show by Shamarr Allen & The Underdawgs last night. If you ever get a chance to see them, go see them. Thankfully, my Bionic Booty held up well. Even did the Freddie on the dance floor: But, I digress. (Maybe someday I’ll do an entire open thread of digressions…) […]

QAnon Devotees Call Each Other Pedophiles, Deny QAnon Allegiance. Submitted just because I, at least, need to take my mind off all the shit that’s going down. At least for a moment: The new thing, it seems, is to pretend you aren’t a conspiracy theory-pushing Q advocate, while very clearly being a conspiracy theory-pushing Q […]

Abortion Pills The Next Battleground: Medication abortion — a two-drug combination that can be taken at home or in any location and is authorized for use in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy — has become more and more prevalent and now accounts for more than half of recent abortions in the United States. If […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 3, 2022
Everything pales in contrast to the Supreme Court killing Roe v. Wade. Thankfully, Delaware enacted legislation retaining all the protections of Roe v. Wade in the event that this day would ever come. I believe that the ‘gentlemanly’ Orrin Hatch helped put Alito on the Court. As did Tom Carper, who voted against filibustering Alito. […]

Tucker Carlson: American Nationalist. When the history of the death of American democracy (or what passes for it) is written (whether it’s permitted to be published or read depends upon the whims of whoever ends up as America’s Orban), the creation of a 24/7 TV propaganda news cycle will loom large in the story. As […]

Western Artillery Flows Into Ukraine. Is there any hope that this war can be contained?

D’s ‘Shocked’ That Ohio Union Members Love Trump. Not to mention, Rethugs’ relentless gerrymandering has placed D seats at risk. Right on cue, NY Court rules rare D redistricting unconstitutional. It’s starting to look like Hungarian democracy is the best we can hope for. Assisted every step of the way by so-called D centrists who […]

Don’t Think Kevin McCarthy Is Gonna Be The Next Speaker. Assuming the Rethugs win, which the Democratic Party has been trying to ensure happens: House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy denied ever believing that President Donald Trump should resign in the wake of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol ― in spite of […]

Sorry for the late start. We’ve been binge-watching Justified, and we’re in the final season, which is Breaking Bad-good. Sometimes, we can’t stop ’til we’ve seen the next episode. Final two episodes tonight…I’m guessing the body count increases. Dems Can’t Ignore Culture Wars Any Longer. Jamelle Bouie speaks the truth: Almost 60 years ago, the […]
