Queen still dead.  Observations – Lots of uniforms.  Many, many, uniforms. Whereas the USA has the ArmyNavyAirForceMarines(andCoastiesand Park Rangers) the UK as about 200 times more types of armed services including The Queen’s Royal Hussars and the Milton Keynes Bones Boogaloos.   Many stories about how the GOP is now really leaning into being a […]

Is Your Delaware State Senator/Rep a MAGA Republican?

Filed in National by on September 18, 2022 11 Comments

Most incumbent Republicans are working hard right now to cover their tracks and scrub their web sites of MAGA policies. That’s why we’ve come up with a simple endorsement type questionnaire for everyone living in a GOP Senate of House district. Simply send this easy, three item questionnaire to your state Senator or Rep and and unless you get back three “YES” responses – your DEGOP state Rep or Senator is a MAGA Republican.

Here we go:

1) Do you think Joe Biden won the 2020 election fairly?

[ ] YES
[ ] NO

2) Do you think rioters that broke into and vandalized the US Capitol on January 6th of 2021 are criminals and should be treated as criminals?

[ ] YES
[ ] NO

3) Do you think stealing top secret documents and leaving them exposed to discovery by the agents of governments hostile to the United States is a criminal act that should be treated as such?

[ ] YES
[ ] NO


Three simple questions. Unless you get three simple, unqualified YES responses in return, your DEGOP Senator of Rep is a MAGA republican.

I’ll be sending this to my Rep, Kevin Hensley and reporting his responses here.

Song of the Day 9/18: The James Gang, “Funk #49”

If you weren’t a fan of the Foo Fighters you probably never heard of Taylor Hawkins before he died in March at age 50. But you’ve definitely heard of some of his admirers. Dave Grohl assembled them at London’s Wembley Stadium two weeks ago for a tribute concert, and the lineup rivaled any all-star concert […]

Wilmington is going to get an economic boost next month when media floods the city for the Elon Musk-Twitter showdown in Chancery Court. Background coverage has already begun, such as this profile of Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick. The bus-the-immigrants stunt has succeeded in bringing national attention to a problem that affects mainly border cities in border […]

Turns out that business of moving migrants from border states to northern cities might not be as cute as Trump and his orc-governors thought. Turns out it might be illegal. Turns out the stunt isn’t even original. The racist White Citizens Council first pulled the stunt in 1962 as a “Reverse Freedom Ride.” The whole […]

Would the end of the republic just hurry up and get here FFS?

Would the end of the republic just hurry up and get here FFS?

I’ve heard talking heads on TV say that the DoJ doesn’t want to appeal the bullshit rulings they are getting from the Coons/Trump judge because it could end in the Supreme Court and the extremists court could just simply rule that Trump is still really President.

Can’t we just stop fucking around and get to that point? Let them declare him President and let’s take it from there. Being afraid of what Republicans will do or say is a bullshit strategy. Being afraid of Trump is what got us here.

I have no problem with Dems skipping so-called “debates”

Filed in DL Opinion by on September 16, 2022 2 Comments

I have no problem with LBR skipping out on “debating” Gomurph. First of all they aren’t “debates” Murph, or whoever the GOP shithead is on the stage is just going to spew out some nonsense. Nobody in the audience is going to weigh the legitimacy of the various arguments and choose to vote for the […]

Song of the Day 9/16: King Harvest, “Dancing in the Moonlight”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on September 16, 2022 4 Comments

Connoisseurs of yacht rock trace the roots of the retroactively-defined genre to the Southern California soft-rock boom of the mid-’70s, so this song is technically a precursor. No matter. One-hit wonder King Harvest released it in 1971, and though it only reached No. 13 on the Hot 100, it’s had a long afterlife on soundtracks. […]

Our Criminal Ex-President is spewing threats about violence again if he’s arrested. The irony is that we know Trump will be hiding in the basement if any violence actually occurs. The unqualified judge he shopped for is still paving the way for his lawlessness to continue. Voting by mail was struck down by Chancery Court, […]

My Apology to Kyra Hoffner

I’m not in the 14th since redistricting, but Hoffner is doing what I try to tell all democrats to do – be prepared to run twice or even three times. She came in 2nd in a three way primary which was won easily by the aged incumbent, Bruce Ennis.  With  the retirement of Ennis, Hoffner […]

Song of the Day 9/15: World Party, “Way Down Now”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on September 15, 2022 1 Comment

The TV watching public (which is everybody but me, basically) is in a tizzy. The streaming services that have replaced cable TV, which replaced broadcast TV, are slashing programming, removing archived shows and pulling the plug on green-lighted productions, all because subscriber growth has slowed. Yeah, that’s the ticket — raise prices and reduce product, […]
