Yep, if you haven’t done so already, you can join the Parade Of The Desparate Men, now forming at a florist or grocery store near you. I’ll be in line early somewhere myself… The Trump-Barr Tiff.

Rethugs Do Nothing, Say Nothing, To Limit Trump’s Dictatorial Reach. The criminal conspiracy that is the Rethuglican Party continues unabated. Tennessee Rep. Rails Against Tampon Hoarders. Opposes a three-day sales tax break on feminine hygiene products b/c users might hoard them. And what? Sell ’em on E-Bay? I can’t even… Bloomberg: End To Redlining Destroyed […]

Nevada: More Of The Same For Biden? Captain Obvious Sez: The trend is not his friend. Just look at that poll. You know what Biden did? He used up all the oxygen in the room, which led to the demise of some worthy candidacies. Booker, Castro, Harris, even Inslee. Once the voting started, it was […]
DL Open Thread: Tues., Feb. 11, 2020
Now where was I? Oh, yes… Biden Campaign Sliding Towards Oblivion…Towards Oblivion…Towards Oblivion. I can’t help but wonder whether candidacies like those of Cory Booker and Kamala Harris would have survived if not for the aura of inevitability surrounding Biden. He will end up as one of the worst serial candidates for President in history. […]

A Clear-Eyed Look At The Cornavirus. SARS was worse, the flu is worse. Just have to wait until the post-panic stage. Big Chain Pharmacies Place Patients And Pharmacists At Risk. I have reason to believe that every word of this is true. Every legislator should read this and then do something about it. Not to […]

Dershowitz Pushes Insane Justification In Trump’s Defense. The President can do anything as long as they believe their reelection is in the public interest. Not even the Rethugs could swallow this one. The Bernie Campaign: Will It Emulate McGovern Or Trump? No, not Trump in the sense of his level of obnoxiousness, but as an […]

Trump Campaigns For Bibi. The ‘Giveaway of the Century’. Two self-appointed ‘strongmen’ flexing their muscles with the Palestinians as the inevitable losers.

Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., Jan. 28, 2020
By Thursday, we will all know what’s in the Governor’s proposed budget. One thing we do know: It will be printed on smooth paper. Or maybe smooth e-paper, to save a few shekels. But there will not be any growth to the base of the budget. Not with this Concord Coalition green-eyeshade guy in charge. […]
