Confederacy-Loving Delaware Man Gets Three Years in Union Prison
Kevin Seefried, the Laurel drywall hanger who paraded a huge Confederate battle flag through the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection and menaced a Capitol cop with it, was handed a three-year prison sentence yesterday by a Trump-appointed federal judge. His lawyers had asked for a 12-month sentence, and argued that Seefried, 53, lacked “even […]
Song of the Day 2/9: Ronnie Milsap, “Any Day Now”
Burt Bacharach, the preeminent American tunesmith of the mid-20th century, died Wednesday at age 94. Though he’s best remembered as an easy-listening composer for his the songs he wrote with lyricist Hal David and produced with vocalist Dionne Warwick, he collaborated with several other lyricists over the years and scores of singers performed on the […]
Chris Coons is Simply Lying About Not Knowing About QAnon
Ed Note: This post was first published on Mar 24, 2022 at 08:04. It is now getting some hits so I’m moving it up to see what’s up.
Consultants have been telling Republican members of Congress to say that they don’t know what QAnon is when asked about it, and its influence on the party. Chris Coons is also adopting that strategy.

Question: Are you concerned Republicans may be trying to play to the Q-anon base?
Sen. Chris Coons: “I wouldn’t understand what an appeal to the Q-anon base looks like. So if that’s what’s going on, I’m missing it. Because frankly, that’s not a frame that resonates with me.”
This is derived from the GOP’s successful strategy of denying that they follow the news when asked about something Trump said.

Did The Civil War Even Take Place? Gotta wonder after this happened in Mississippi: A white supermajority of the Mississippi House voted after an intense, four-plus hour debate to create a separate court system and an expanded police force within the city of Jackson — the Blackest city in America — that would be appointed […]
Song of the Day 2/8: Honey Cone, “One Monkey Don’t Stop No Show”
I didn’t watch Biden’s SOTU speech, but I saw plenty of still pictures of Marjorie Taylor Greene. They didn’t remind me of a clown — more like one of those Japanese macaques popularly known as snow monkeys. Maybe it was just the effect of the fur collar — as Jesus sorta said, you can’t hide […]
Biden delivered a good speech – Republicans acted like a bunch of clowns, as expected
I didn’t watch the speech, but reviews are good. Biden was his usual steady self, but also lively and energetic. He was up for a taking on the dumbfucks in the GOP head-on. Bravo. They aren’t accustomed to that.
Not that it matters. U.S politics hasn’t been about what Democrats do or say for a while now. Steadily and seriously, Biden and Obama both rescued the country from the disastrous terms of erratic Republican clowns. But you wont hear anything about it in the news. Short memories.
No, our politics is all about the clown show. The media LOVES the excitement of the clown show. They love asking Democrats to respond to the clown show. And so Democrats always appear to be reacting, rarely acting. And yet, the clown show is exactly why Democrats keep wining and Republicans keep losing.
There are still Americans that want our politics to be steady, serious and sober. Most Americans take one look at this clown show, and say “I’ll take whatever the <I>’not this clown show'</I> option is please.”
Only Chris Coons keeps trying to pretend that the Republicans are not a clown show. Who can say why? I think he gets off on it.

A-hole on A-hole violence
Where is the a-hole community leadership? Why aren’t they condemning this? Trump is smearing DeSantis as a groomer The very stable geniuses at Truth Social are upset DeSantis intends to run against Trump in the 2024 presidential election. So they are resorting to calling him a “groomer,” which is MAGA-speak for “people I don’t like.” […]

News-Journal FINALLY Wakes Up To Ft. DuPont Boondoggle
9 years too late. Maybe someone, anyone, from the News-Journal could have read our coverage dating back to 2014? I’ll only link to one article this time. You can find the others. While a lot of the skulduggery is omitted, this is a great look into what happens when the Delaware Way, especially Jack Markell, […]
Song of the Day 2/7: Spinal Tap, “Christmas With the Devil”
MAGAt Nation (motto: Nostra braccas semper nodantur, roughly “our knickers are in a perpetual twist”) is raising holy hell about Sam Smith’s performance at the Grammy Awards. Seems the British warbler dressed in a Mephistophelean outfit (basically a top hat with devil horns) and scampered about a flame-lined stage drenched in more red than a […]
