“Sarah McBride to Primary Tom Carper” Part 2

When Tom Carper decided to take on the 78 year old eminence gris that was Bill Roth, it started out with a note of sad collegiality.  Without challenging Roth directly on his age, Carper made it clear that it was time for Roth to do the right thing and resign, or have the right thing done […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 29, 2022 2 Comments

You surely know this cover version of the song, credited to the McCoys. You probably haven’t heard the original by the Vibrations, titled “My Girl Sloopy,” though it reached No. 26 in 1964. As the Atlantic Records label should tell you, they were a black band, and in their interpretation the song has a clear […]

Dancing in the streets.   Sen. Graham says if Trump is indicted, there will be ‘riots in the street’ I actually hope the MAGA nitwits and dumbfucks expose themselves as riotous nitwits and dumbfucks.  Sour milk has a higher favorability than the MAGA/GOP right now.   Rioting in support of the treasonous buffoon would make […]

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 27, 2022 0 Comments

A footnote to “Sara Smile” by Hall and Oates, the song I wrote about a few days ago: Its B-side was another tune from the duo’s Silver Album, a reggae-flavored cover called “Soldering.” After Eric Clapton had a hit covering “I Shot the Sheriff” in 1974, rock musicians started to pay more attention to Jamaican […]

Yes, The Feds Had Loads Of ‘Probable Cause’ To Raid Mar-A-Lago: The details contained in a search-warrant affidavit and related memo crystallize much of what was already known about the criminal probe into whether Trump and his aides took secret government papers and did not return all of the material — despite repeated demands from […]

Coons Gravely Concerned About Biden’s “MAGA Republicans” Comments

Filed in Coons, Satire by on August 26, 2022 0 Comments

Coons expressed disappointment and concern over Joe Biden’s use of the term ‘MAGA Republicans’ to disparage Republicans who contend that Donald Trump won the last Presidential election.

“I’m just not a fan of confrontational politics.” Coons stated on CNN’s Reliable Sources “I really think that if we continue to seek bipartisan compromise by assuming the fetal position and allowing our friends and colleagues on the other side of the isle to kick us repeatedly, they will soon become exhausted from kicking.”

Yeah this is satire. Barely. If Coons releases a statement, I trust you, dear reader, to let me know.

Filed in Arts and Entertainment by on August 26, 2022 1 Comment

Guest post by Nathan Arizona If you have anything bad to say about Isaac Hayes’ “Shaft,” there can be only one response: Shut yo mouth. We’re talking ’bout Shaft. John Shaft. And we’re talking about “Shaft,” the exhilarating orchestral funk song, and “Shaft,” the 1971 “blaxploitation” movie. These movies turned previously ignored black actors into […]
