Song of the Day 12/5: The Jayhawks, “Blue”
The Minneapolis-based Jayhawks were forerunners of the folk/country/rock blend that was first known as alt-country before Americana became its generally accepted label. Despite critical acclaim they have never sold many records; their 2011 LP “Mockingbird Time,” which marked the return of founding singer/songwriter Mark Olsen, was the only time they cracked Billboard’s top 50 albums, […]

Josh Marshall–For The Win. It’s a Members-Only article, but we’re allowed to share. Here’s one example why you should ‘join’ for an absurdly-low amount: Before getting to my main point, let me address a subsidiary one. I get people who don’t think Biden should have done this.

Trump Nominee Deems Himself Unqualified, Withdraws From Consideration. Perhaps Trump’s only nominee capable of self-reflection: Sheriff Chad Chronister, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration, withdrew his name from consideration for the office on Tuesday, only three days after he was nominated. Sheriff Chronister, who is in charge of the sheriff’s […]
Song of the Day 12/3: Incubus, “Pardon Me”
I don’t give a crap either way if Hunter Biden goes to jail or whatever other punishment awaited him. He’s an entitled piece of shit who tried to leverage the family name into a lucrative living, so sorry, no sympathy here.

It’s The Voters, Stupid.
Guest Post By Wasabi Peas: This election cycle made me mad. Really, really mad. And not for the reasons folks reading this blog might think. Post-election, many people, mainly liberals, have been complaining and pointing fingers, blaming Trump voters and progressives/leftists for Kamala Harris’ loss. While anger over another Trump presidency is indeed warranted, directing […]

Biden Pardons Biden. As well he should have: The charges in his cases came about only after several of my political opponents in Congress instigated them to attack me and oppose my election. Then, a carefully negotiated plea deal, agreed to by the Department of Justice, unraveled in the court room – with a number […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: November, 2024
A short list this month as I begin preparations on my Fave Tunes Of 2024 list. I’ve already combed my lists from earlier this year and, from them, have narrowed down the number of contenders to around 75. I’ll no doubt add a few others as I check out other Best-Of lists. Barring something unforeseen, […]

Hmmm, which ugly Christmas sweater to wear for my shift at the Arden Holiday Shop this morning? Can’t go with the Trump and Putin kissing under the mistletoe, as much as I’d like to…saving the most profoundly garish and disturbing one for the Claymont Parade next week…guess I’ll go with the Five Finger Death Punch […]

OK, guys, it’s Small Business Saturday. What small local businesses do you plan to visit today? Confused By The Syrian Insurgency? This will clarify everything and/or make it more confusing to you. An excerpt: I would characterise them as a ‘logical result of everybody abandoning Syrians to onslaughts and subversion by Assadism, al-Qaeda, IS/ISIS/IGIL/Daesh, IRGC, […]

One More Reason To Hate Notre Dame. The football team/school, not the Cathedral: The (Supreme) court’s conservative justices are increasingly hiring the law school’s graduates and faculty to work in their chambers.
