However, Shané Darby has now officially filed to take out Nnamdi ‘I’ve Already Retired, Just Haven’t Bothered To Tell Anybody’ Chukwuocha. Oh, we’re just getting started. Dr. Adrianna Bohm […]
Song of the Day 9/12: Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, “In the Capital”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona With our nation’s capital under attack by its own government, thoughts automatically turn to a band called Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. You’re right. They don’t. Even if you knew the group has a song called “In the Capital” you’d be going down the wrong path. But the path could be […]

BREAKING: Trump says with a ‘high degree of certainty’ that a suspect is in custody. Time To End The Canonization Of Charlie Kirk. Our commenters unearthed two excellent pieces on this matter: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/charlie-kirk-assassination-tragedy/tnamp/ https://newrepublic.com/article/200327/charlie-kirk-empathy-trap-democrats The canonization is deliberate. Make him a martyr to justify retribution against any and all who Trump despise: “For years those […]
Charlie Kirk, In His Own Words
Before the canonization proceeds any further, let’s let Oliver Willis set the record straight: In 2023, Kirk said, “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.” Kirk said in 2018 that gun violence in Chicago was the fault of “a lack-of-father […]
Song of the Day 9/11: Warren Zevon, “Accidentally Like a Martyr”
Yesterday he was a provocateur. Today he’s a martyr. I’m talking about the guy who said, “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that – it does a lot of damage.” The English word actually dates from 1908. You’d think a college student, which is what […]

A Worthy Epitaph?: “It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights,” “That is a prudent deal.” Amateur Hour At The FBI. Does Kash have a Klown Kar?: Hopes for the fast capture of the person […]
UPDATE: Republican Activist Charlie Kirk Fatally Shot
He was shot in the neck at an event in Utah: Charlie Kirk, founder of conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, died Wednesday after being shot at an event at Utah Valley University, President Donald Trump said.

Song of the Day 9/10: Joe Dassin, “Les Champs-Elysées”
You might have heard this song while you were watching the Paris Olympics last year, or Wes Anderson’s “Darjeeling Limited.” It was a huge hit for Joe Dassin in 1969, when it sold 600,000 copies in France alone and made the charts all over Europe. Back then the Champs-Elysées was known for its nightlife, as […]
A Very Special Bonus Open Thread: Why Do We Need Chris Coons In The United States Senate?
Hmmm, let’s see–because he’s the only Democrat who can win? Uh, no. Because he stands up to the oligarch billionaires and the Pedophile-In-Chief better than anyone else could? Uh, no. Because of his moral compass as evidenced by his blind support for Netanyahu? Uh, no. I could go on, but you get the point. I […]

Just an idle question: Is it possible that the reason why the Governor and certain legislators are at such loggerheads over the Port issue is because it looks like the project will never be built, meaning it’s only about who gets the blame? Between the litigation and the typical Army Corps Of Engineers’ spouting of […]
Song of the Day 9/9: Supertramp, “Just Another Nervous Wreck”
Supertramp was a band that couldn’t survive success. The band was founded by organist Rick Davies and guitarist Roger Hodgson, who shared lead vocals and songwriting duties. They began drifting apart after the success of “Breakfast in America,” the 1979 album that spawned four Billboard hit singles and went quadruple platinum, and Hodgson left in […]

Any illusion that the Supreme Court was gonna pull us back from the creation of a Fascist State was crushed yesterday. Oh, sure, permitting ICE Agents to move through US cities with impunity was ‘temporary’, but that’s only because the final adjudication has yet to reach the Court. 6-3 on that ruling, BTW: The Supreme […]
Delaware Joins Regional Public Health Coalition
Good: Gov. Matt Meyer announced Sept. 5 that Delaware will join Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York in a regional public health alliance. The group was first formed by Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Sept. 4, following a contentious Senate hearing that day with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. […]
