DL Open Thread: Tuesday, March 16, 2021
As the Acting Chairman of the Mid-Delaware Mike Ramone Haters Club, I fully endorse this attempt to make Ramone account for his abuse of office. Murkowski won as a write in but her hat can’t contain another rabbit. Chuck Schumer is having a little chat with Lisa Murkowski? The Alaska Republican Party has voted to […]
Song of the Day 3/15: Emma Swift, “Queen Jane Approximately”
Australian singer-songwriter Emma Swift, who works out of Nashville, released a well-received album of Bob Dylan covers last August, “Blonde on the Tracks,” that I only caught up with because now that I’m vaccinized I’ve been in the car a couple of Sundays in a row, and I heard a lot of Americana on the […]
DL Open Thread: Monday the Ides of March, 2021
“WAP” (an acronym for “Wet-Ass Pussy”) was performed on the Grammy’s last night by Cardi B, and Megan Thee Stallion. I’m not qualified to discuss the musical merits, but anything that triggers apoplexy in Tucker Carlson must have something going for it. Also, kudos to CBS. They’ve come a long way from not allowing the […]
DL Open Thread Sunday, March 14, 2021
Among the generally strong reviews of Joe Biden’s first presidential address, a few pundits are pointing out that the most important part wasn’t even spoken out loud: The overthrow of Ronald Reagan and the GOP’s insistence that “the government is the problem.” It’s even being noted that the current Joe Biden is a lot more […]
The Last Guy can’t even fuck up the GOP correctly
Mired in legal battles, and his fundraising slowing to a trickle, TLG is looking more like the floundering loser he is and less like a king maker. He backed away from creating a third party and has soured on the costly prospect of launching his own TV empire or social media startup. His vow to […]

Kentucky Senate Outlaws Saying Something That Might Hurt Cops’ Feelings: Kentucky’s Republican-majority Senate on Thursday moved forward a bill that would make it easier to arrest protesters for insulting a police officer, a measure that critics say would stifle free speech. The bill, passed two days before the anniversary of the fatal police shooting of […]
Song of the Day 3/12: Sturgill Simpson, “In Bloom”
I guess it’s my week for country-adjacent covers of rock songs. Sturgill Simpson turns Nirvana’s tuneful grunge-pop nugget into a power ballad that builds to a horn-embellished climax worth of Vegas-era Elvis. He included it on his acclaimed 2016 album “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth” because, he told Spin, “For me, that song has always […]
Republicans planning to “opt out” on infrastructure
It would be great if voting against the upcoming infrastructure package was framed as opting your sate or district out of the infrastructure bill. It would be even better if voting against the upcoming infrastructure package meant that you were opting your sate or district out of the infrastructure bill.

Dominion Just Might Win All Those Lawsuits. Can you say ‘proof of damages’? In case you’re wondering who Dominion is suing, wonder no more. There will be more. Sen. Rick Scott To States: Don’t Take The Relief $$’s. As Florida’s Gov. DeSantis whines that he didn’t get enough: Scott, as head of the National Republican […]
Breaking: Coons (not) Shocking Morning Joe Appearance
Coons just managed to get through an entire Morning Joe package without mentioning bipartisanship or attacking liberals.
I was all set to hit send on this dumb little post and Coons mentioned that his efforts to expand national service are bi-partisan.
“…and this has been bipartisan, as you know in the last congress Senator Wicker and I had 16 Senators, eight from each party, join in supporting a bill to significantly expand Americore.”
The dream of the Super Secret Bi-Partisan Caucus lives on.
Schumer Disses Coons’s Super Secret Bi-Partisan Caucus (SSB-PC)
When you diss Susan Collins, you are dissing the entire SSB-PC. Collins-Schumer rift shocks Senate. They haven’t even talked since the election; she’s talked with Biden four times. “Why Chuck seems to be going out of his way to alienate the most bipartisan member of the Senate is a mystery to me,” Collins said. Schumer […]
Lawson or Witzke? Who is the Dumbest DEGOPer?
The set up:
“It’s time to stop this charade. It’s time to get back to work (and reopen schools and business),” said Sen. Dave Lawson
And the punch line:
Sen. Lawson, expressed concerns about the vaccination, saying the state should not force anyone to get it. He added that he does not plan to get vaccinated because the flu shot typically makes him sick.
Song of the Day 3/11: Molly Tuttle, “Fake Empire”
Celebrated bluegrass guitarist Molly Tuttle released a pandemic-inspired cover album, “…but I’d rather be with you,” last August, and the songs represent a mix of influences you might not expect, including the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, Harry Styles and Rancid. This song dates to 2007, when it was included on The National’s fourth album, […]
