In Which Chris Coons Tries to Reason With a Foxette
Chris Coons went on Fox News yesterday, as is his wont, but for a change broke decorum when confronted with his interrogator’s mushroom-sucking sycophancy. He even kept talking when she tried to talk over him. The anchor was trying to claim Trump has a plan for Venezuela, when it’s obvious even to Chris Coons that […]

How Crazy Does Trump Have To Be Before Any Democrat Calls For The 25th Amendment? Check out his antics from yesterday: President Donald Trump forced Republicans Tuesday to sit through a daylong policy event at the Kennedy Center, in which he gave a 90-minute rambling of his half-baked greatest campaign hits. Whether bragging about how […]
Song of the Day 1/6: Björk, “Human Behavior”
The demented little asshole running the country, Stephen Miller, is a quivering wimp – you can tell by the way he takes every opportunity to act butch. His ego swelled by the Venezuela adventure, he went on CNN to proclaim that Greenland will belong to the Reich United States. This attitude has been criticized in […]

These supersized data centers can usurp more energy than entire cities and drain […]
Song of the Day 1/5: Billy Squier, “The Stroke”
The signs are obvious – the drooping right side of his face, his slack right-handed salute, his inability to flip a coin at the Army-Navy game – but the strongest argument for “something is wrong with Trump” is his panicky reaction to the media reporting on it. The smart money says that, among other things, […]

You may have missed it, but we now have our Hitler. A deranged madman bent on taking over countries aided by a supplicant press and fellow criminals running the government. And destroying anybody who doesn’t belong to the male Aryan race. Not to mention courts dominated by the madman’s chosen minions. The Republican Party is […]
Song of the Day 1/4: Billy Joel, “Big Shot”
I could dedicate this song to Trump, but the real reason for setting aside my aversion to Billy Joel is that he sang in public Friday for the first time since May, when he announced he had a brain condition that ruled out performing and cancelled all future concerts. Joel, who owns a home in […]

Delaware Political Weekly: Week Ending Jan. 1, 2026
“We are kings of our bikes. So, we are again really lucky to live in Rehoboth, when we park a car, we have to get back into the car. We can hop on our bikes and our ritual is that we are always biking from our home to L(ewe)s. We do a little bit of […]
Song of the Day 1/2: The American Breed, “Bend Me, Shape Me”
This song, a No. 5 hit for the American Breed in 1968, was prophetically titled – several bands covered it in the ’60s, and it sounded different each time. Credited to Scott English, best known for co-writing Barry Manilow’s “Mandy,” and Larry Weiss, who co-wrote “Rhinestone Cowboy,” it was first recorded by the Outsiders for […]

I have a question to start: We’ve had two notable murders in Delaware over the past two weeks. When the former owner of the Stone Balloon, who is also the former husband of Jill Biden, has been incarcerated for allegedly murdering his wife right here in Delaware, why hasn’t a single major Delaware news outlet […]
