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 […]

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 […]
Gerald Brady Writes His Ticket Out Of Dover
Matt Bittle’s Twitter is alive and well. Better than ever in fact, now that he no longer is encumbered of any OTOH crap that you do if you’re reporting on Leg Hall. You need to be reading it. That’s where I got the link to this story. Career nonentity Gerald Brady has finally signed his […]

Good morning!
Insurrectionist Gets a White Person’s Sentence (8 measly months for trying to overthrow the government). Remember Crystal Mason? She was the person of color sentenced to five years in prison for a mistaken vote that was not counted. If you don’t think America is racist as fuck, you’ve got your head up your ass. (Related – Senator Coons suggests, “Maybe some bipartisanship can fix American racism?”)
According to a former Republican National Committee senior official, twice-impeached president Donald Trump will run again in 2024. I think we all know what this means – Chris Coons will call for (wail for? moan for? plead for?) more bipartisanship. It is a proven fact, bi-partisanship, and only bi-partisanship can fix it.
#Vanlife was a covid-era style of genteel homelessness dressed up to look like freewheeling adventure. Turns out life in a 30-40sq foot metal box (even one on wheels) isn’t as glamorous as it has been made to look and vanlifers are parting ways with their vans with de-covidivication. Reached for comment, Senator Chris Coons stated emphatically that #vanlife is is a pressing issue that can be resolved only through bi-partisanship.
Yesterday:
Coons: Bipartisanship will prevail on Infrastructure Deal
GOP: Bipartisan infrastructure deal has no chance
BUT FIRST….Ernesto Lopez and his now open-ass seat are still all the buzz. You can read all about it here at BlueDelaware :So Long Ernie Lope, or read the original by Delaware’s foremost leg hall watcher, El Som, here: Ernie Lopez Merely Bowed to the inevitable
Hmmm…Original or inferior copy? Not a tough choice from my perspective, while Senator Chris Coons recommends a bipartisan approach to deciding.
Song of the Day 7/19: Bill Withers, “Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?”
I hadn’t heard this one in ages until Meshell Ndegeocello’s cover, which I’d never heard at all, popped up WXPN the other day. The funk comes from musicians who had been the core of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band, particularly bassist Melvin Dunlap and guitarist Benorce Blackmon. The LP also launched the long studio […]
Ernie Lopez Merely Bowed To The Inevitable
His district was, and is, going Blue in ’22. To steal a line from Baseball Prospectus, my fantasy baseball Bible: “Warning: Gory mathematical details ahead!” Even if Senate District 6 retained the exact same boundaries it has now (which it won’t), the trend was not Kathy’s Favorite Volunteer With Privileges’ Friend. Here are the registration […]

I wasn’t paying much attention to news this weekend. Anything interesting happen? Let’s see…
As my sage colleague observed, the Earth continues to try and rid itself of the human infestation.
President Joe Manchin said maybe we can have infrastructure, but President Lindsey Graham said, not so fast.
Of the Republicans vying to take on the weak, ineffective Joe Biden. Pence isn’t looking so good.

DL Open Thread Sunday, July 18, 2021
We laugh and shake our heads at conservatives who believe American cities are being burned down by Antifa and BLM protesters, but we’re guilty of the same thing when it comes to media reports about the popularity of American fascism. Two stories illustrate this. First, a couple of has-beens, Donald Trump and Bill O’Reilly, have […]
