BREAKING: Supreme Court Keeps Abortion Pill Legal. For Now
The story: The Supreme Court on Friday retained full access for now to a key drug that has been taken by millions of women to terminate early pregnancies, its first major abortion-related decision since overturning Roe v. Wade’s constitutional guarantee of abortion rights last year. The court put on hold a lower court’s ruling in […]
BREAKING: Pot Bills To Become Law Without Carney’s Signature
The story: Gov. John Carney on Friday said he would let the bills to legalize marijuana and create a recreational industry become law without his signature, standing down from his aversions to recreational weed that put him at odds with his party. Delaware is the 22nd state to legalize recreational marijuana, after a nearly decades […]
Texas is not holding anything back
Today the Texas Senate passed a bill to force every public school classroom in the state to prominently display a copy of the Ten Commandments, and set prayer and bible reading times during the school day. In times like this I return to the constitution for comfort. …promote the general welfare of people we like, […]
Song of the Day 4/21: Katrina and the Waves, “Walking on Sunshine”
For no better reason than the nice weather, a slice of sunshine pop that’s become a standard since its release in 1985, when it reached No. 9 on the Hot 100. It’s been used in countless ads and soundtracks ever since. Technically, Katrina and the Waves weren’t a one-hit wonder — they had two other […]

Fox To Pay For Dominion Settlement With–Higher Cable Fees? If they can get away with it, yes: These fees are the majority of revenue for Fox, more even than advertising, and they are significantly higher than those charged by the network’s competitors. Fox has been able to raise prices and charge disproportionately high rates due […]
Carney to Run for Carper’s Senate Seat – Rumor Watch
I’ve heard it now from two unaffiliated sources, so I take it to be good news. Carney has a resume that reads like an unimproved 1998 micro-soft word resume template. He has all the charisma of an abandoned dishwasher, and would certainly lose a contested primary.
Song of the Day 4/20: Charlie Worsham, “I Hope I’m Stoned (When Jesus Takes Me Home)”
John Carney’s attitude toward cannabis is the same as Nancy Reagan’s — he just says no, and there’s no way that will change today. Especially not today. Mississippi singer-songwriter Charlie Worsham sang this tune he calls “stoner gospel” music in concert for years before he released this official version in 2019. He was touring with […]

Senate Democrats Give Away Power To Rethugs. Dick Durbin could simply announce the end of the blue slip in response to the Rethug refusal to seat a replacement for Dianne Feinstein, but no-o-o-o-o: Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday that he’s still holding out hope that Republicans can find […]
Song of the Day 4/19: The Bar-Kays, “Soul Finger”
Is Bear man the local version of Florida man? Back in the Before Times, in December 2017, Bear man Michael Rohana went to an Ugly Christmas Sweater party at the Franklin Institute. The then-24-year-old drank too much, snuck into the roped-off display of 10 of China’s famous terra cotta warriors and, horsing around, broke off […]

Just Like That, It’s Over
There will be no Fox-Dominion trial. The parties have settled: Fox News has agreed to settle the billion-dollar defamation lawsuit filed against the network over its broadcast of lies aimed at undercutting public confidence in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

Song of the Day 4/18: George Thorogood and the Destroyers, “I Drink Alone”
Get-well wishes go out to homeboy George Thorogood, who announced the cancellation of the first month of his 50th-anniversary tour due to “a very serious medical condition that will require immediate surgery and quite a few weeks of recouperation [sic] and healing.” The 73-year-old blues guitarist’s reps told the News Journal he’s aiming to be […]
