Absolute Must-Read Of The Day: The Prince Documentary You Might Never See. You’ll learn more about Prince from this article than you ever knew. Warts and all. Kamala Harris And Penzey’s Spices–Perfect Together. BTW, she’s a serious cook: Ms. Harris bought five different spices at the store, according to her campaign: Creamy Peppercorn Dressing Base, […]

Real Headline Of The Day: Scientists use food dye found in Doritos to make see-through mice My unassailable theory: Scientists eat way too many Doritos. Tenet Is No More. You know, the Tennessee-based RWNJ disseminator of Russian propaganda. Isn’t treason defined as ‘giving aid and comfort to the enemy’. Try these assholes for treason: A […]
Bethany Hall-Long Copies Trump, Slings Mud in Desperation
Today marks the fourth day in a row I’ve received a mailer from Ms. Creant and the sleazy unions backing her that compares Matt Meyer to Donald Trump. You’d think they were running against a Republican, but no, all they have is that he once contributed to some Republicans – while you contributed to the […]
Song of the Day 6/6: unknown artist, “Walk on Back”
If you want to encounter soul music you’ve never heard before, the seven-CD set “Written in Their Soul: The Stax Songwriter Demos,” released last summer, represents a treasure trove. Archivist and producer Cheryl Pawelski spent 17 years combing through unlabeled demo tapes to unearth songs that had been recorded by the Memphis label’s songwriters and […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, September 6, 2024
I hereby take a timeout from moderating the blog to trying to write the daily Open Thread post. Moderating ain’t easy, especially when one is not a moderate. Can’t recall a year where there’s been more ‘working of the refs’. But, I digress. Nobody Has Ever Seen The Likes Of This Trump Article Ever Before. […]
Song of the Day 9/5: Ween, “Ocean Man”
One reason rock is fading away: Gen X bands just don’t have the staying power of, say, the Rolling Stones. For example Ween, the oddball alternative duo from New Hope, Pa., just disappointed its small but dedicated fan base by cancelling a short tour, including a sold-out show at the Mann Music Center, celebrating the […]
What The Fuck??!!
BREAKING NEWS: Branden Fletcher Dominguez is out of primary?? Here’s what just arrived in my e-mail: On Friday, August 30th, the Department of Elections reached out to my campaign requesting documentation by Tuesday of this week that I unfortunately was not in a position to provide. After communication with the Department I have decided to […]

Don’t See Many Stories Like This One: More than $100,000 in Apple products that were being shipped from Delaware to China have been seized, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced on Wednesday. Customs and Border Protection officials said the parcel’s manifest — the document containing shipment information — undervalued the packet by a little […]
El Somnambulo Picks Some Of ‘Em For You
Wasn’t gonna do this. But, I can’t help myself. US Representative: Sarah McBride (D) and Donyale Hall (R). Assuming, of course, that anybody turns out to vote in the Republican Primary. Governor: Matt Meyer (D) wins, doesn’t quite get to 50%. Let’s say 46%, BHL 32%, O’Mara 22%. Can’t wait for the Delaware Way implosion […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024
“Trump has yet to find an attack on Harris that will stick.” This is, no joke, how the media is treating his campaign’s All Insults, All The Time strategy, along with dutifully repeating every insult every time. That they consider this part of their mission is good evidence that they are part of the problem. […]
Song of the Day 9/3: James Darren (as Vic Fontaine), “Come Fly With Me”
To people of a certain age – say, 80 – James Darren, who died yesterday at age 88, will always be Moondoggie, the handsome male lead in “Gidget.” That now-ignored 1959 film made Sandra Dee a star, introduced the country to the surfing scene that would sweep teen culture, and made Darren a dual-threat teen […]

Trump did and said some dumb shit yesterday, I don’t even know what and I don’t much care. He’ll do and say some dumb shit today that they’ll report tomorrow, too, because they just can’t quit saying “You won’t believe what he said now.” Yes, yes I would. He obviously will say anything, and it’s […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: August 2024
A bit more roots/blues-oriented than usual, which is not a bad thing in my book: Pony Bradshaw, also featuring Rachel Baiman: Combat: Lounge Lizard gets what he deserves?: MAVI:
