Song of the Day 3/1: Judy Street, “What”
England’s Northern Soul movement is a fertile field for soul music fans looking for songs they haven’t heard a thousand times. The genre took root around 1970 in northern England, where the taste for Motown’s classic mid-’60s period lingered into the funk era. The term was coined by a London record shop owner who told […]

Sean Matthews Gets A Primary Opponent in RD 10! Good. Her name is Melanie Ross Levin. Whoa! She has serious credentials. So serious that I wonder […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: February 2024
Not gonna lie. Halfway through the month, the pickin’s were slim. But a great couple of weeks saved the day–and the month. Mucho diversity as well: Eric Brace led a really cool roots band called Last Train Home. Played at the Gild Hall way back when (2000, I think). Was also the Weekend Entertainment Editor […]
Song of the Day 2/29: Lana Del Rey, “Blue Skies”
Guest post by Nathan Arizona What? Lana Del Rey in the news again? Go figure. And not just because she got knocked down in Taylor Swift’s private box during a post-game Super Bowl celebration. Karma? For a time she was wearing a loser San Francisco 49ers shirt. The new news is about what made her […]

It Was The Best Of Days For Trump. It Was The Worst Of Days For Trump. Both stories illustrate how Trump has avoided being held accountable throughout his career. Run out the clock. Offer to settle for pennies on the dollar. One court bought it: The Supreme Court that former President Donald J. Trump helped […]
BREAKING: Supreme Court In The Bag For Trump
They’ve inexplicably (well, not really) agreed to hear Trump’s bullshit claim that he’s immune from prosecution for any crimes he committed as President. Took them forever to rule on this, then pushed back their hearing on this case until April. Make no mistake, the Supreme Court has politicized this case: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/02/28/trump-supreme-court-immunity-claim-dc-trial/ It’s all in the […]
Song of the Day 2/28: Randy Newman, “Little Criminals”
Lauren Boebert, the Colorado Carpetbagger, had barely finished tweeting something about the Biden crime family when news broke that her 18-year-old son was arrested on 22 charges related to a string of vehicle break-ins and thefts. Kudos to the writers of the Republican Cinematic Universe for the comic relief. Randy Newman named his 1977 album […]

Rep. James Comer, dumbest man in Kentucky, isn’t going to let a little thing like a lying Russian stooge derail his impeachment of Hunter Biden. No sirree, he’s gonna keep fucking that chicken until its feathers fall off. Some Republicans are on the Russian payroll; others, like Comer, are just following along. Israel and Hamas […]
Song of the Day 2/27: George Clinton, “Atomic Dog”
Commander, the Bidens’ German shepherd, has been sent to live “with relatives” after more than two dozen biting incidends involving Secret Service agents. I hope the relatives have figured out what nobody in the White House apparently did – how to buy and use a muzzle, something lots of owners of Rotties and pitties have […]
Three House Races Where Democracy Is On The Ballot
On Friday, Rethugs triumphed in Delaware’s Superior Court. The General Assembly had enacted statutes making it less difficult for people to vote. Meaning, Rethugs went to court to challenge the statutes as unconstitutional. Because they know that, the more people who can vote, the less likely that Rethugs can win elections. The result?: (P)laintiffs backed […]

The Federal Trade Commission sued to stop the grocery mega-merger between Albertson’s, parent company of Acme, and Kroger’s, on the grounds that it would be bad for workers and consumers. I don’t know when that became the standard, but I hope they keep applying it. Not that it will change the narrative – “Biden old” […]

The ruling by the Alabama Supreme Court holding that frozen embryos have full human rights has the GOP in a panic, because the public – even hardcore Christianists – overwhelmingly supports IVF, as this memo from the GOP’s Senate committee helpfully points out. Repugs say they have no plans to pass any laws against it, […]
