The GOP’s Rapists Rights Movement
A woman shouldn’t be able to unilaterally deny a rapist the blessing of fatherhood. Right?
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 3, 2022
Everything pales in contrast to the Supreme Court killing Roe v. Wade. Thankfully, Delaware enacted legislation retaining all the protections of Roe v. Wade in the event that this day would ever come. I believe that the ‘gentlemanly’ Orrin Hatch helped put Alito on the Court. As did Tom Carper, who voted against filibustering Alito. […]
Song of the Day 5/3: Johnny Cash, “Camptown Races”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona The Kentucky Derby is Saturday. Somebody will bet on the bay. Doo Dah. The singer in Stephen Foster’s “Camptown Races” did not bet on the bay. He blew his money on the bob-tail nag. This was the first widely popular American horse racing song. That’s fitting, since Foster was pretty […]
Why is Joe Biden forcing Putin to kill Ukrainian civilians?
If you watch Tucker Carlson you may be aware of Biden’s diabolical plan to force Putin into a war in Ukraine in order to punish him for “stealing Hillary Clinton’s coronation.” TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): We know the war in Ukraine is not about saving democracy. Please. We know it’s not about protecting the sacred borders […]

This obliterates all other news. I don’t have much to say about it other than to point out that some argued that the court wouldn’t do this because it would risk “stirring up” Dem voters. Those people are idiots. It is the Democrats who don’t act for fear of “stirring up” Republican voters.
Supreme Court has voted to overturn abortion rights, draft opinion shows
The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.
The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey– that largely maintained the right. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito writes
Song of the Day 5/2: Squeeze, “The Day I Get Home”
“I eat the lines ahead of me.” Chris Difford wrote that line more than 30 years ago, before you had to take your shoes off at the airport. From the Squeeze album I praise all the time because I consider it one of the peaks of intelligent rock songwriting, 1991’s “Play.” And, because one knock […]
Psssst…. ALL REPUBLICANS ARE TRUMP REPUBLICANS
High up on the long list of things that I don’t get is – why Delaware Democrats allow Delaware Republicans to run away from Trump, run away from McConnell and run way from basic GOP policies.

I like Zelenskyy. He is always on message, “Great. Thanks. Send More.” Pelosi Goes to Kyiv House Speaker Nancy Pelosi praised Ukrainians’ “ferocity” and promised military and financial support after leading a top-level meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv over the weekend. Pelosi, the most senior American lawmaker to visit Ukraine since Russia’s […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: April, 2022
No better way to start out this month than with one of my fave artists of recent times. I love this song: If you like(d) Ought like I do (did): Struggled to guess Nathan Arizona’s fave this month. Settled on this one. Could be wrong, though: Gotta see ’em live: If Little Steven’s Underground Garage […]

Tucker Carlson: American Nationalist. When the history of the death of American democracy (or what passes for it) is written (whether it’s permitted to be published or read depends upon the whims of whoever ends up as America’s Orban), the creation of a 24/7 TV propaganda news cycle will loom large in the story. As […]
Song of the Day 5/1: The Motown Manifestos, “Papa Was a Running Dog Lackey of the Bourgeoisie”
Happy International Workers’ Day, or la Fête du Travail as the government here prefers to call it. Workers just call it May Day. John Lennon once remarked that “Imagine” was basically the Communist Manifesto set to music, but he didn’t quote that document directly. This song does. The tune was part of the National Lampoon’s […]
Song of the Day 4/30: The Boo Radleys, “Wake Up Boo!”
Not woke yet, or just feeling a bit lacking in the wokeness department? Let the Boo Radleys remedy that. The Boo Radleys were an early ’90s Liverpool indie four-piece that released its most commercial album, “Wake Up!” in 1995, just in time for the Britpop boom that made Oasis internationally famous. Their LP caught the […]

Western Artillery Flows Into Ukraine. Is there any hope that this war can be contained? I’m going with ‘No’: The Western artillery flooding into Ukraine will alter the war with Russia, setting off a bloody battle of wits backed by long-range weapons and forcing both sides to grow more nimble if they hope to avoid […]
