DL Open Thread: Saturday, July 24, 2021
The Unvaccinated Are The New Villains. As well they should be: The acrimony is only likely to intensify in coming months as vaccine mandates take effect at hundreds of colleges and universities, following a federal judge’s refusal this week to block Indiana University’s mandate. The Food and Drug Administration also is expected to fully approve […]
Song of the Day 7/23: John Mayer, “Last Train Home”
The last thing I expected this summer was brand-new yacht rock, yet here it is. Someone played this for me and dared me to guess who it was, and all I could come up with was “Stevie Winwood or maybe Mark Knopfler but somebody else singing.” The last person I would have guessed was John […]
DL Open Thread: Friday, July 23, 2021
Gerald Brady Goes National. Congrats to Speaker Pete, Our PAL Val, and Delaware Democratic Chair Betsy Maron for making Delaware even more of a laughingstock than usual. Hey, I’ve got it: Gerald can switch parties and immediately challenge Lauren Witzke to be the xenophobes’ champeen. Better yet, he can run on a ticket w/Witzke. He […]
Good Evening! Did Gerald Brady resign today?
No? Really? Hmmm.. That’s strange. On a related note – what do Democratic “leaders” mean when they say “We will not tolerate this.” Because it seems to mean “We will tolerate this.”
Song of the Day 7/22: Bruce Springsteen, “Wings for Wheels”
An odd story about a Bruce Springsteen composition popped up recently — an argument about the lyrics to his iconic song “Thunder Road.” Since the release of his “Born to Run” album in August 1975, everyone has sung the first line of the song as “The screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves,” with good reason: […]
DL Open Thread Thursday, July 22, 2021: Return of the Masks
I hope you haven’t stowed your face coverings too deep in the closet, because the smart money says we’re building toward a third-wave pandemic peak, probably in September. You can tell it’s gonna be bad because as of yesterday, both Fox News and some of America’s dumbest, most recalcitrant GOP pols — people like Mitch […]
Song of the Day 7/21: Big Star, “Watch the Sunrise”
As Jason noted, raging wildfires are turning the West into a hellscape, but it is giving us colorful sunrises and sunsets. The rest of the day needs some work — the sun is obscured today by the remains of millions of dead trees. Big Star formed in 1971 when Alex Chilton, who left the Box […]
A social weirdo who craves a bizarre kind of attention
As I’ve said, Duncan Black (Atrios) is the nation’s leading Coonsologist.

Delaware Democratic Leaders Fail Epically On L’Affaire Brady
To the point, by refusing to insist that he leave office immediately after disgracing it and himself, Democratic leaders have officially tolerated behavior they all stated they will not tolerate. For those of you who have sworn off news, but decided to return today, here is what this hot mess of a legislator wrote: “Is […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday, July 21, 2021
Lot’s of news that I will skim over like a flat stone on a still lake. For instance, Dr. Anthony Fauci called Senator Rand Paul a liar and a fraud on the record. (Link) Another Trump official was arrested on foreign-agent charges, Rupert Murdoch decided that too many dead viewers isn’t good for ratings, and and Tom Brady mocked Trump while laughing it up with Joe
All of that before lunch.
But first…BIPARTISANSHIP’S last stand.
Chris Coons stated, “This time we are sure Lucy will not pull the football away.”

Song of the Day 7/20: Bo Burnham, “Bezos (I & II)”
I really wanted someone to headline the Bezos in Space story “Giant Dick Travels to Space in Giant Dick,” but for some reason he actually has fanboys. I think comedian Bo Burnham is mocking Bezos, but I can’t be sure; he posted a tweet congratulating Bezos this morning, and I couldn’t tell if that was […]
