This week’s poll:    On another post, I said […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, International by on June 25, 2023 0 Comments

So let me get this straight: The revolt of the Wagner mercenaries got halfway to Moscow and then turned back. I’m no warlord, but I don’t think that’s the way you’re supposed to do it. The Cornelius Brothers and their sister Rose (eventually joined by their other sister, Billie Jo) were a family singing act […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, International by on June 24, 2023 2 Comments

The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary forces is marching 25,000 soldiers on Moscow, and Vladimir Putin has responded in classic fascist fashion, describing it not just as treason but that old propaganda standby, a stab in the back.

Like other political humorists before him — Will Rogers, Pat Paulsen, Marianne Williamson — Rainbow […]

Seaford’s Asinine Bullshit Breaking Nationally

Filed in National by on June 22, 2023 16 Comments

Just wait until the national media learns that Seaford’s “corporations can vote” plan also includes giving African Americans  3/5ths of a vote.

The state of Delaware is famously business-friendly. With more than 1.8 million entities registered in the First State, companies outnumber its human residents by nearly two-to-one.

One city is now moving to raise businesses’ influence in the state even further, with a proposal to grant them the right to vote.
