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 […]

This is who she threatening to primary for not being sufficiently racist:

Song of the Day 5/8: Ringo Starr, “It Don’t Come Easy”
When the Beatles broke up, everyone knew that John, Paul and George would pursue solo careers. But what about Ringo? The guy Robert Christgau called “our representative on the Beatles” usually got one vocal turn per album and had scant songwriting experience. So people were surprised when this 1971 stand-alone single climbed the American charts, […]

Sorry for the delayed posting. Was out lit-dropping for Kim Stock today. It was worth it. Barr Authorized Search Of Reporters’ Phone Records. You know, to stop those damn leaks about Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections. He will go down in infamy. Some excerpts: The Trump Justice Department secretly obtained Washington Post journalists’ phone […]
The Confederacy was a con job on whites. And still is.
There should be a lot of working class solidarity with poor southern whites. Frank Hyman takes an insiders look at the dupers and the duped. The Confederacy – and the slavery that spawned it – was also one big con job on the Southern, white, working class. A con job funded by some of the […]

It’s Official: The Big Lie And Voter Suppression Are The Only Life Rafts Keeping The Rethuglican Party From Drowning. Either the Party dies, or democracy dies. Rep. Elise Stefanik adopts The Big Lie To Oust Liz Cheney from leadership. Here’s why Cheney is out: “For sure the votes are there,” Mr. Jordan said on Fox […]

“The harrowing experience of Jan. 6, the sharp divisions we saw in our election last year, and the rise of a more aggressive and assertive China and Russia, has really helped focus our country in the urgency in coming together and working to make a difference,” – Chris Coons, Noted Genius

“One hundred percent of my focus is standing up to this administration. What we have in the United States Senate is total unity from Susan Collins to Ted Cruz in opposition to what the new Biden administration is trying to do to this country,” – Mitch McConnell, Not Into Coons’ Bipartisan Fantasies
Song of the Day 5/6: Steely Dan, “Don’t Take Me Alive”
Trying to determine the top five rock guitarists is like trying to establish the top five colors. It can only be done subjectively, and it begs the question — what does “best” mean? Do you base it on soloing, or is versatility important? Is speed crucial, or does melodic sense outweigh it? It’s a problem […]

Never, ever doubt who Republicans represent. Hint: It isn’t you, unless you own a business. The new GOP obsession is a “labor shortage,” which is what Republicans call it when businesses are forced to increase wages to find employees. Or, if they’re in control, as they are in Montana, they get their shitweasel governor to […]
