Song of the Day 8/11: Céline Dion, “My Heart Will Go On”
As El Som noted in today’s Open Thread, the musical highlight of Trump’s sparsely attended Montana rally was the syrupy tear-jerker “My Heart Will Go On” by Céline Dion – famously, the theme song to James Cameron’s “Titanic.” People started speculating that the choice was the work of a mole in the Trump campaign. I […]
DL Open Thread: Sunday, August 11, 2024
We’re gonna start our review of the Campaign Finance reports tomorrow. We will update a lot in the coming days. However, the Big Story is right there for everyone to see: I can safely say that at no time in Delaware campaign history has there been such an influx of Third Party money into our […]

Oh, man. Got my work cut out for me next week as we wade through the campaign finance reports. I start today, though, with a blank canvas (oops, almost spelled it canvass, which is what I’m doing after I write this Open Thread and get caffeinated). Let’s color it in. ‘Dog Bites Man’ Headline: The […]

Just A Note Before We Go…Onto Something Other Than The Attempted Swift-Boating Of Tim Walz. Two notes, actually. The guy who swift-boated John Kerry is the same guy trying to pull the same dirty trick on Walz: The common denominator in both efforts: Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita. LaCivita played a key role in the […]
Song of the Day 8/8: Taylor Swift, “Look What You Made Me Do”
Taylor Swift cancelled three shows in Vienna after three suspects were arrested and charged with plotting an attack on her show. Police found bombs and ISIS propaganda, indicating again that Islamic terrorists consider music venues fair game. As a music fan, this does not predispose me to expressing any sympathy for the goals of Islamic […]

Vance Tries To Swift-Boat Walz. Could work. Nobody thought it would work against John Kerry either: Speaking in Michigan, Donald Trump’s Republican running mate said: “You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz? When the United States Marine Corps … asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it. I […]
Delaware’s Most Intriguing Primaries #7: RD 29
This presents a great pick-up opportunity and a chance to strike a blow against the Delaware Way. How ‘Delaware Way’ is Bill Bush? He shepherded Delaware Way developer shortcuts through the General Assembly. As Lonnie George’s consigliere, he almost single-handedly overthrew the decision of the Del-Tech board to install ‘Dr.’ Mark Brainard as president. If […]
The Sanest (Ex-) President Ever!
In his own words: This is the most Radical Left duo in American history. There has never been anything like it, and there never will be again. Crazy Kamabla is, indeed, CRAZY. I HEAR THERE IS A BIG MOVEMENT TO “BRING BACK CROOKED JOE.” Oh, and: What are the chances that Crooked Joe Biden, the […]
Song of the Day 8/7: Warren Zevon, “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz might present as an old man, but he’s only 60, and a whole lot cooler than he looks. He proved it when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced its class of 2023. Walz sent out a tweet: “As Governor of Minnesota I cannot believe Warren Zevon was not inducted […]

Reaction to Kamala Harris’ selection of Tim Walz as her running mate has been widely praised. Most pundits have cited his mien, best summed up by Harold Meyerson of the American Prospect as “Hubert Humphrey without Vietnam.” Walz’s happy warrior style reminded me of Humphrey, too, but I’d say “with a sharper tongue.” Ol’ Hubert […]
Song of the Day 8/6: Big Data feat. Joywave, “Dangerous”
Trends in popular music evolve rather slowly in modern times, which makes it harder to tell when they shift. Eleven years ago, for instance, this tune was all the rage, hitting No. 1 on the alternative rock chart. It typifies the bass-heavy sound that was popular then – “All About That Bass” was a product […]

Kamala Harris will name her choice for vice president today. Because American politics is essentially sports for the athletically disinclined, the bookies have Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pulling slightly ahead of Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro as the betting favorite, and that’s considered a news story. A couple of bad days for the stock markets was […]

Who Will It Be? Who Do You Want It To Be? I want it to be that folksy Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz. I think it will be Joel Shapiro. So that James Carville can gloat about owning the libs. I hate that beady-eyed sumbitch. This is the Open Thread, so predict away! Bangladeshi PM […]
