Protesters Target Home of National Embarrassment Chris Coons
Delawareans elect a lot of corporate tools who pretend to be Democrats, but of all the corporate tools, Sen. Chris Coons has become the corporate tooliest. In today’s more progressive Democratic Party, he stands out as a national embarrassment. See if you can follow this pathetic excuse for logic Coons trotted out in a speech […]
Song of the Day 5/3: Curtis Mayfield, “Blue Monday People”
Curtis Mayfield’s 1975 LP “There’s No Place Like America Today” seems to get more attention for its pointed cover image (slightly altered from a 1937 Margaret Bourke-White photo) than its content, which a lot of critics think is uneven, and some thought even worse; Robert Christgau gave it a D+, calling it “noodling” and “incoherent.” […]
What the fuck do liberals have to do to get a headline like this?
Some Trumper fuckwits put together a 11,000 person Facebook group (less than half Delawareans) and they are a “rising conservative movement” meanwhile progressives basically re-made the state legislature in November.

The News-Journal discovers what we’ve been writing about: Patriots for Delaware has officially endorsed five school board candidates in the upcoming May 11 election.

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: April, 2021
So many of you (well, my oldest daughter) have asked, ‘Where’s your Fave Tunes list for April’? It’s right here. It may still be a work-in-progress (logistical stuff), but it’s really good as it is. Enjoy! Simply gorgeous. A great kickoff to this month’s list: Pair the last one with this one, and you’ll be […]

What the fuck is wrong with Republicans? Seriously, these people are some kind of fucked up. Lest you think that maybe the Mormons, who didn’t much care for Trump, are any better than the rest of them, the 2,100 attendees at the Utah GOP convention last night booed Mitt Romney and called him a communist […]

The Latest Rethug Attempt To Label Rather Than Legislate. Prepare to hear ‘Lefty social engineering’ redound through their media echo chamber: That echoed a message sketched out immediately after Biden’s speech by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who gave the nationally televised GOP response and accused Democrats of wanting “to put Washington even more in the […]
Checking in on Delaware’s Legislative Black Caucus OR Where the FUCK is Delaware’s Legislative Black Caucus on Police Reform?
Here are the very mild police reform proposal from the Legislative Black Caucus last year. Pass Senate Bill 191, a bill introduced in February, which would start the process of amending the Delaware Constitution to protect against discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin. Create an African American Task Force that would look […]
Song of the Day 4/30: The Clash, “Rudie Can’t Fail”
They clearly weren’t singing about Giuliani, who doesn’t do much except fail. He did, however, use this tune as his intro song at campaign rallies when he ran for president in 2008. He failed at that, too. “London Calling” included a couple of Jamaican covers (“Revolution Rock,” “Wrong ‘Em Boyo”), but this one is a […]

Dang, I’ve got one of those spring/summer colds. I’ve decided that the ‘cure’ of Mucinex is worse than the ‘disease’. It’s the rare drugged-out feeling that I don’t like…hopefully it will heighten my sense of the absurd as I scour the interwebs for stuff for us to talk about. FBI Had Warned Giuliani And Sen. […]
Song of the Day 4/29: The Platters, “With This Ring”
Some days there’s no news peg for the song, and you just get whatever has become my latest earworm. In this case it’s this tune, now best known among Northern Soul aficionados after serving as a comeback song for The Platters in 1967. It reached No. 14 in Billboard, the group’s first Top 20 hit […]

Biden’s speech is getting good reviews — I thought I heard thunder last night, but it was just exploding Republican heads — but not so much for the rebuttal from South Carolina Sen. “Uncle Tim” Scott. He claims America is not a racist country. Hey Tim, the kapos at the Nazi death camps were Jews. […]
