Song of the Day 12/20: David Qualey, “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”
New Age guitarist David Qualey recorded a few LPs for Windham Hill, and his arrangement of this famous Bach piece was one of the label’s standout tracks. It featured not only on the compilation disc “A Winter Solstice III,” released in 1990, but was even pressed as a promotional single. Most people think of this […]

How Trump’s ‘Denial, Mismanagement, And Magical Thinking’ Led To The Pandemic’s Dark Winter. Great detailed reporting from the Washington Post. You have to work to screw things up this badly.

(Allegedly) Drunken State Rep. Andria Bennett (Allegedly) Attacks (Proven) Drunk Husband/Ex-State Rep. Brad Bennett. Coverup Ensues.
Somewhere, ex-State Senator Brian Bushweller (whose daughter was married to Brad Bennett until Andria Viola came along) is basking in the schadenfreude. Here’s the story. In all its glory, from TV Delmarva: BREAKING NEWS: Delaware State Representative Andria Bennett of the 32nd District has been arrested for 3rd Degree Assault. TV Delmarva’s Rob Petree was […]

Do you think you couldn’t be any more disgusted by centrist Dems than you already are?
Song of the Day 12/19: Debbie and the Darnels, “Santa, Teach Me to Dance”
Every year musical artists record new Christmas songs to release into the world, hoping they’ve found the next chestnut that will make them as famous as Mariah Carey. It almost never happens, but people keep trying, because if “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” can become a holiday staple, anything is worth a shot. […]

Judges Toss Georgia Voter Suppression Cases. I love the headline. Congrats to ‘Judge Briskly’. Defense Department Shuts Down Biden Briefings. Lies about it. Gets called out on it. Conservative Groups Opposed To Federal Aid Got Millions In Federal Aid Targeted For Small Businesses. The absolute corruption of this administration knows no bounds. Great reporting. Kushner’s […]
The Official Delaware Liberal MVP Winners For 2020
“Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.” JFK used that quote often. This is a year to celebrate all the contributors to the most successful electoral year in Delaware progressive political history. We’ll leave Jane Brady and that guy from Shop-Rite to wallow in the dregs of defeat. 15. Cerron Cade. Secretary […]
Coons’ Super Secret Bipartisan Caucus Not Looking So Good
Coons’ Super Secret Bipartisan Senate Caucus that is going to “work together” to “get things done for the American people” is off to a rough start.
Pat Toomey, the one known member of the Super Secret Bipartisan Senate Caucus and Senator who Coons is “eager to work with”, is trying to fuckup the stimulus and hamstring Joe Biden.
It is almost as if the Super Secret Bipartisan Senate Caucus only exists in Coons’ imagination.
Song of the Day 12/18: Alex Boyé, “Little Drummer Boy”
Originally titled “Carol of the Drum,” this Christmas standard was written in 1941 by an American composer, Katherine Kennicott Davis, who mostly wrote music for the choir at Wellesley College, where she was a student and later a teacher. It’s usually given a somewhat somber treatment, but not by English-born Nigerian Alex Boyé, a onetime […]

Trump Screwing Up Vaccine Shipments? Feds cut shipments to states while Pfizer claims there are plenty of doses to send. Sen. Kelly Loeffler Got A $2 Mill Contribution In Exchange For… a favorable ruling from her husband. Oh, I know, there’s no proof of a quid pro quo. Just the incredible coincidence in the timing. […]
Song of the Day 12/17: Keb’ Mo’, “Jingle Bell Jamboree”
I’m not sure when Keb’ Mo’ wrote or recorded this tune. It shows up on compilation albums as far back as 1999, and he released it himself on a 2011 EP. Its mention of CDs dates it to sometime in the ’90s. It’s not likely to become a classic, but I like the way it […]

This is stupid – so it will probably happen
President-elect Joe Biden is considering some well-known Republicans — think Meg Whitman types — for Commerce secretary as a way to signal to red-state Americans he understands their concerns and plans to address them.
Red state Americans don’t give a fuck about Meg Whitman. They don’t want to see “signals” of friendship from Biden. They want to see his head on a pike.
