Song of the Day 3/29: Johnny Cash, “A Boy Named Sue”
The Republican war on trans people put me in mind of this old Johnny Cash song. Recorded live at San Quentin State Prison, the novelty tune was written and recorded earlier that year by singer-songwriter/children’s book author/Playboy cartoonist Shel Silverstein. June Carter heard Silverstein sing it one night and thought it a good fit for […]

Dildo-headed capitalist Jeff Bezos is personally behind the company’s recent shitty behavior toward its critics. He issued a “broad mandate” to executives to fight back. Hey, it worked last time Amazon workers tried to unionize — in 2014 in Smyrna. In Delaware, not even exploited workers will rock the boat. If the Grateful Dead had […]
The Suez Canal was opened in November 1869
A ship stuck in a 152 year old canal is a perfect metaphor for our “living on borrowed time” approach to infrastructure. SS Great Eastern was by far the largest ship ever built at the time of her 1858 launch, and had the capacity to carry 4,000 passengers from England to Australia without refuelling. Her […]
Bill would let Mainers go off to Valhalla in a blaze of glory
Mainers may soon be able to leave this life in a blaze of glory, as a new measure would allow a Viking-style funeral ritual. If passed, Maine would join Colorado as the only other state to allow the funeral ritual that is associated with Norse culture, the Sun Journal reported. The Viking funeral pyre has […]

Among the songs the Library of Congress added to its National Recording Registry last week is Louis Armstrong’s first recording of “When the Saints Go Marching In,” the gospel spiritual based on the Book of Revelations that Armstrong turned into a New Orleans jazz standard, helping usher gospel music traditions into popular music. Armstrong had […]

Ready for some boycottin’? Sure, Coca-Cola, but now comes word that Inspire Brands — a private-capital band of crookscompany that owns Jimmy Johns, Arby’s, Sonic, and Buffalo Wild Wings, as well as Dunkin’ Donuts, which it acquired for $11.3 billion in November, is bragging that it killed the $15 minimum wage. I’d like to boycott […]
Funny Republican Jokers
LANSING, Mich. — The leader of Michigan’s Republican Party referred to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and two other top Democratic elected women as “witches” that the GOP wants to “soften up” for a “burning at the stake” in the 2022 election.
He also joked about assassination when he was asked how to remove two GOP congressmen, Reps. Fred Upton and Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump.
Ron Weiser’s statements Thursday during a local Republican meeting, which are on video, were first reported Friday by The Detroit News.
Haha…
Oh someone tried to shoot them?
Thoughts and prayers.
Coons’ Likud Party Lost
The final results of the fourth successive Israeli election are now in and the verdict is clear: Netanyahu lost. Or to put the matter more precisely, the results make it almost impossible for him to form a government. His bloc, which includes his Likud party and a group of far-right and religious parties, gained 52 seats.

Moscow Mitch Loses Kentucky Smelting Plant. Sad: In 2019, Rusal announced its commitment to invest $200 million in the plant, which stirred up criticism as the decision came shortly after the U.S. Treasury Department lifted sanctions on Rusal and its parent company. A spokesman for Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, then majority leader, told the […]
