Socialized pricing will have a “devastating impact on… uh….innovation. Yeah, that’s it… innovation”.
DL Open Thread Thursday, July 29, 2021
I heard this story on WDEL the other day and almost drove off the road — a puff piece about yet another state fund to funnel money to corporations. The story actually praises Middletown’s Ken Branner for tossing zoning and planning out the window to attract business, and its whole tone proves is that the […]
Song of the Day 7/28: Allman Brothers Band, “Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More”
It’s a good time to eat a peach — it’s the height of a better-than-average peach season. It’s also a good time to play “Eat a Peach,” the soundtrack of many a lazy Rehoboth Beach day back in the ’70s. The band, still basking in the success of “Live at Fillmore East,” was in the […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday July 28th 2021 – The 1/6 Commission
Will there come a point when the media’s bothersiderism breaks down under its own absurd weight? I thought that the 1/6 insurrection riots, for example, might allow the media to get out from under the “he said, she said” reporting that always gives Republican claims equal legitimacy when paired up th truth. Well, nope. Nothing […]
Song of the Day 7/27: The Coasters, “Young Blood”
Aged-out frat boy Matt Gaetz thinks he’s somehow going to survive his scandalous behavior with underage females, even in the face of stories like this one, in which the sister of his fiancee calls Gaetz a “literal pedophile” (she later corrected that to “ephebophile,” the term for someone attracted to post-pubescent teens). Where could Gaetz […]
LMAO! Coons, you scamp!
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), a close ally of President Biden, said Friday he would support a bipartisan infrastructure package even if negotiators drop a proposal to significantly increase funding for public transit, a top Democratic priority. Hilarious. Top Democratic priorities are really just a bunch of nonsense anyway. AMIRIGHT?

We’ve been entirely too soft on Vaccine resisters
CNN)Justice Department lawyers have determined that federal law doesn’t prohibit public agencies and private businesses from requiring Covid-19 vaccines — even if the vaccines have only emergency use authorization, according to an opinion posted online Monday.
The opinion from the department’s Office of Legal Counsel paves the way for more federal agencies and businesses to require vaccinations.
Just when it seemed like some sanity was creeping in…
Sean Hannity assures audience he’s “not urging people to get the COVID-19 vaccine”
Sean Hannity issues stern rebuke to those calling him “pro-vaccine”: “Why are they saying something I didn’t say?”
Some things are beyond snark.
Pete ‘N Val Lied To Protect Brady’s Hide
From the Delaware State News, which just might have a worthy successor to Matt Bittle: House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf, D-Rehoboth Beach; Majority Leader Valerie Longhurst, D-Bear; and Majority Whip Larry Mitchell, D-Elsmere, also issued a joint statement Monday, in which the House leaders were supportive of the decisions outlined in Rep. Brady’s letter, noting that […]
Song of the Day 7/26: Iggy Pop, “China Girl”
For Gerald Brady. Yeah, you know the hit version (No. 10 US, No. 2 UK) that Nile Rodgers produced for David Bowie, but it was first recorded six years earlier by Bowie’s co-writer, Iggy Pop, for his debut solo LP, 1977’s “The Idiot,” which Bowie produced. According to a Bowie biography, the song was inspired […]
Brady Announces He Won’t Run Again…
…according to Matt Bittle, whose Twitter feed is alive and better than ever, and according to sharp-eyed DL commenter Harold. Here is what Brady wrote on his Facebook page: However, my recent actions – using a deeply offensive anti-Asian slur and attempting to make a crass joke about human trafficking – make it more difficult […]

Gerald Brady Resigns!
…is a headline I thought I’d be writing this morning. Oh well. Soon. In the meantime, click through to read about Trump’s incoherent, ill-informed ramblings, and how all asshole pubic figures should be accosted loudly and frequently. Especially public figures named Tucker Carlson.
Song of the Day 7/25: The Weakerthans, “Psalm for the Elks Lodge Last Call”
When people complained about Bob Dylan being awarded the Nobel Prize in literature because “lyrics aren’t literature,” they betrayed their ignorance about literature. Some of the earliest writings in the Western canon, including the Bible’s Book of Psalms, originated as song lyrics. The word “psalm” itself is derived from the Greek word meaning music and, […]
DL Open Thread Sunday, July 25, 2021
Is anyone under the impression that the Democratic Party has moved to the left? If so, please take a look at the vote to increase Pentagon spending by $25 billion, to $740 billion, passed the Senate Armed Services Committee on a 25-1 vote. Elizabeth Warren was the only one to vote against it. Democrats who […]
