Own the Libs!

Filed in National by on February 19, 2021 6 Comments

I haven’t been following this Cuomo thing. A mean, bad guy, corrupt? I guess we’ll find out.

But whatever happens, getting rid of corrupt politicians whether they are D’s or R’s is what is supposed to happen.

Republicans seem to think that getting rid of corrupt D’s is somehow owning libs.

Song of the Day 2/18: James Taylor, “Mexico”

Filed in Arts and Entertainment, National by on February 18, 2021 0 Comments

Sorry for all the James Taylor lately — I’ve been suffering from insomnia — but the chance to belittle Ted Cruz was just too strong to pass up. Cruz is coming home from his “long-planned family vacation” amid an avalanche of criticism, which stands to get worse once more people find out he was staying […]

The Delaware GOP, like state Republican parties across the land, has turned itself over to the dimmest among them. While Witless Lauren Witzke — motto: “Cracked? Oh, I though you said crack” — pokes the peckerwoods on Twitter, Dave Lawson performs his Louie Gohmert act for the Joint Finance Committee. Given the News Journal’s abdication […]

Gee, sure is cold in Texas. Just goes to show that, on occasion, hell freezes over. That was the name of the 1994 reunion tour on which introduced this tune, with lead vocal by bassist Timothy B. Schmit. The ultimate SoCal soft rockers had disbanded in 1980, and didn’t have much new material for the […]

Bethany Hall Long Announces Bid for Delaware Governor


I don’t really care what happened to Columbus statue.  The real question is when is the centerpiece statue of the Aubrey Plaza Plaza being dedicated? 

Whatever happened to those Columbus and Caesar Rodney statues taken down in Wilmington?

Maria Matos is right: “Equity means that you have to do things differently. And it’s OK to say ‘I’m not happy with those numbers.’ Then, do something about it…think outside the box but don’t stand in a press conference Mr. Governor and tell me that you’re not happy with the 2%, but you’re not setting […]

I can’t wait for Coons to make a big, showy public break with Biden [over something beloved bit of DC insider nonsense] in order to prove to DC that he truly is the bipartisan hero.  It is inevitable.  

Atrios Said This:

They got Trump on eleventy million lies, and to avoid accusations of BIAS, they’ll “find” eleventy million “lies” from Biden’s administration, too. –

With apologies to El Som, I actually hear other new music once in a while, though not nearly so much as he does because I’m so technologically inept. I’m so old-school I actually heard this song thanks to my email — I always had my work inbox routed to my personal one so I could […]

The Stockholm Syndrome Party:

During a press conference with House managers after Trump’s second impeachment trial, Nancy Pelosi said: “I think our country needs a strong Republican party. It’s very important.”

When was the last time you heard a Republicans say that the country needs a strong Democratic Party? Bottom Line: The Democratic Party leadership is comprised of very wealthy people who do not trust the instincts of Americans who are not rich. Yes – I’m looking at you, Coons.


I have zero faith in Dover passing any kind of legalization that doesn’t: A) Suck, and B) Further enrich some cabal of insiders.

Bill to legalize marijuana in Delaware to be filed soon – Delaware State News

Gov. John Carney has consistently opposed legalization, with a spokesman last week declining to speculate what the governor would do if the bill reaches his desk.


These “Republicans fractured” stories are nice, but a little far fetched.  They’ll do whatever the fuck Trump tells them to do.  Change my mind.  Also, is it news to anyone that Republicans are a bunch of racist assholes?  Certainly that is not news to republicans.  

Trump’s acquittal further polarizes factions within the GOP

Something special for Valentine’s Day: A song Eric Stewart wrote because his wife complained that he rarely told her he loved her.”I had this crazy idea in my mind that repeating those words would somehow degrade the meaning,” Stewart said, “so I told her, ‘Well, if I say every day “I love you, darling, I […]

Quote of the Day: You can lead a Republican to objective reality, but you can’t make him pull his head out of Donald Trump’s ass. Trump was acquitted by the Senate, demonstrating yet again that the Republican Party is a collection of greed-damaged shit-maggots. That they would do so in the face of Trump’s attempts […]
