Song of the Day 5/12: Tré Burt, “Under the Devil’s Knee”
Protest songs are pretty common, but really effective ones are not. I heard this the other night on the folk show on WXPN, and I think it belongs in the latter category. All I know is about him is that he’s from Sacramento and has been signed by John Prine’s Oh Boy Records, signifying a […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Wednesday, May 12, 2021
I’m really enjoying Matt Bittle’s blow-by-blow descriptions of the gun control hearings. He lets the witnesses speak for themselves. He’s worth the subscription, which is why I have one. The latest bill in question, SS1/SB3 (Lockman): …would mandate individuals seeking to buy a handgun first complete a training course before submitting an application to the […]

Once you’re fully vaccinated, your chances of getting a serious case of COVID-19 are vanishingly small:
Also, There is essentially no outdoor transmission of Covid-19.
Jane Brady attached the DEGOP to “patriot” candidates in order to scoop up some unearned electoral glory. How did that work for you, Jane?
But first, read Heather Cox Richardson’s post on the Liz Cheney’s speech last night and leadership vote scheduled for today.
Delaware Voters to MAGA Candidates: FUCK OFF!
I don’t have all the numbers but based on FB posts, the MAGA dipshits/Q-anon racists & homophobes got their asses handed to them.
Patriots for Delaware — a hard-right organization that attracts the most hateful wing of the GOP — pushed four candidates up and down the state in Red Clay, Brandywine, Woodbridge, and Cape Henlopen.
As of this writing, all four of their endorsed candidates lost. – Mike Mathews Via FB
So much for the News Journal’s “rising conservative movement”.
What happens if Republicans never certify a Democratic win ever again?
The GOP is now the party of white supremacists and billionaire donors. It’s the party of gerrymandering, false accusations of election fraud, and voter suppression. It’s the party of Donald Trump. The GOP has made it clear that any Republican in favor of fair elections will be ousted, ostracized, and threatened with physical harm or […]
Song of the Day 5/11: Randy Rainbow, “Clang, Clang, Clang Went Josh Hawley”
Randy Rainbow, like the rest of the media, has mostly moved on from the Last Guy and has now focused his attention on the lesser imps and demons who populate Cult 45. Rainbow’s already-impressive production values also seem to have improved.
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, May 11, 2021
The next two weeks may well be the key to the entire Session. Other than the money bills, if you want to have the General Assembly consider serious legislation this year, you had better get it moving. Which is why the introduction of SB 1 is so exciting. I remember when the General Assembly was […]

This is some lazy ass reporting by the News Journal’s Sarah Gamard. I mean how does she get through the whole thing without ever mentioning the fact that Delaware’s minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.23 per hour? TWO dollars and twenty three cents a fucking hour. Is it possible that the laughable peanuts the Restaurant Association members want to pay their servants has anything to do with the situation?
Fuck you, Delaware Restaurant Association and your preposterous drivel that News Journal reporters relay uncritically. Fuck you very much. Also, get your shit together, Sarah. If you couldn’t find someone who could have easily debunked the Chamber’s horse shit, I’d say you were’t looking very hard.
But first… get your ass to the polls today.
Song of the Day 5/10: Whitesnake, “Here I Go Again”
Tawny Kitaen, the model/actress who gained her greatest fame gyrating on the hood of a Jaguar in this Whitesnake video, died last week at age 59. Born Julie Kitaen, she began using “Tawny” by the time she was 12, and was a rock groupie at 14. She was living with Ratt guitarist Robbin Crosby while […]

In today’s open thread, the fight for $15 is coming to a state Rep district race near you. Be ready to put some heat on some of these wishy-washy piece of shit Dems who want to undermine the Democratic platform. I mean, if Joe Biden… Joe goddam Biden can get behind it, Trey Paradee can too, right? Right.
The Scottish National Party won an outright majority in the Scottish Parliament, so a second referendum on Scottish independence is inevitable. Boris Johnson called this a crisis. I call it, what the hell did you think was going to happen, you clueless Brexit tossers?
Coonsian Israel is really horrible, and should rightfully be an international pariah state.
Psssst…Chris Kenny, just pay your fucking taxes, you dipshit. The money you are spending on people like Kathleen Rutherford and the piles of cash you are setting aflame each election is more than you’d probably actually pay if you would only nut up and do your civic duty.
But first… guns are for murdering people. Any talk of guns being for “protection” is exposed as utter nonsense each and every day.

Former Gov. Pierre S. du Pont IV, known to all as Pete, died yesterday, age 86. Du Pont was elected governor in 1976 after the disastrous tenure of Sherman Tribbitt, and basically established the modern state of Delaware. He not only ushered in the legal usury that made Delaware a credit card capital, he pioneered […]
