Songs Of The Day For November 11, 2020: A ‘Very Special’ Medical Procedures Edition
Both Alby and Yours Truly are undergoing medical procedures this week. HIPPA privacy prohibitions preclude me from providing the inside poop for our padrones. Meaning, we will limit ourselves to musical clues. Alby’s malady melody: In my case, this one’s for posterior’s posterity’s sake:

Not One Scintilla Of Evidence Of Voter Fraud. None. Yet, save for a handful of senators, most Rethug elected officials refuse to recognize that Biden won. What country are we in? Trump Dumps Loyalists Into Defense Department Positions. Is he planning something, or is it just vengeance? This Anthony Tata is really something. Guess […]
Song of the Day 11/10: Weird Al Yankovic, “I Lost on Jeopardy”
I thought this would be a good way to acknowledge the passing of Alex Trebek, but I had forgotten that this parody of Greg Kihn’s “Jeopardy” actually predates Trebek’s association with the game show. The original show aired on NBC on weekday afternoons from 1965 to 1975 and was briefly resurrected a couple of times […]

Georgia Senators Demand Resignation Of Georgia SOS. Why? Because the Republican official didn’t cheat to throw Georgia to them and Trump. Supreme Court To Consider Obamacare Today. Do they kill it, or just screw it up even more? Trump Removes Scientist In Charge Of Climate Reports. UD climate-denier David LeGates waits in the wings. Private […]
Song of the Day 11/9: The Kinks, “Do It Again”
h/t RE Vanella Republicans who still can’t accept that their turd emperor got flushed have floated the idea that we should hold another election. Sure, fellas, just wait four years. Meanwhile, Democrats are gearing up to do it again in Georgia, because winning the two run-off elections for Senate seats would give them control of […]

Biden Has A Lot Of Leeway To Exert Economic Power. Based on the work of his advisors, it looks like he intends to use it. Biden Announces Covid Panel. Highly-qualified and quite diverse. His team has laid the groundwork for this. It’s clear that the work started long before the election. Trump Rolled Back Obamacare […]
Song of the Day 11/8: The Four Seasons, “Walk Like a Man”
I don’t know if it’s true, but I heard the Trump campaign tried to get these guys to perform at that infamous Northeast Philly press conference. They didn’t show because they went to the Four Seasons hotel by mistake. Also, too, the song describes something else Trump can’t do. Like most of the group’s string […]

Who Are The Favorites For Biden’s Cabinet? I don’t think Biden should hesitate on the more ‘controversial’ choices. (A) They’re not controversial.

President-Elect Biden Addresses the Nation and World on a Great Night for Wilmington
There will be time enough for examining the new political terrain in Delaware, but for now I’m just going to relax and enjoy the moment.
We watched the speeches and fireworks/drones from the Outlets parking lot. It was wonderful. Wilmington looked awesome. The vibe was great.
Folks, the people of this nation have spoken. They have delivered us a clear victory. A convincing victory. A victory for we, the people.
We won with the most votes ever cast on a presidential ticket in the history of the nation: 74 million. Well, I must admit it surprised me. Tonight, we are seeing all over this nation, all cities and all parts of the country, indeed across the world, an outpouring of joy, of hope, renewed faith in tomorrow to bring a better day.
And I’m humbled by the trust and confidence you have placed in me. I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but unify. Who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States.
Song of the Day 11/7: Bob Camp (as Stinky Wizzleteats), “Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy”
If ecstatic Democrats are going to gather in crowds to cheer Joe Biden — amid a pandemic, please remember — I wish they would all sing and dance to appropriately gleeful but simpleminded music. This tune, for example. The song first appeared in the sixth episode of the first season of “Ren and Stimpy,” the […]
Joe Biden Declared President-Elect!!
NBC just called Pennsylvania for Biden, and has declared him President-Elect. Our long national nightmare is almost over.
So Maybe Hillary Wasn’t the Problem
It is time to reassess the supposed unique weakness of Hillary Clinton as a candidate. She shouldn’t have been nominated, some contend, because she had been demonized by right-wing media for 30 years. She wasn’t “likable” enough. She turned off conservative women. She triggered people’s inherent misogyny. I’m sure there are other widely believed tropes […]

The Election Isn’t Close. Biden has over a 4 million vote edge. The Electoral College has to go. All it does is hold open the very real possibility that we will be ruled by presidents who were swamped in the popular vote. Take the last 4 years. Please. Stacey Abrams-Unsung Hero No More. Sometimes you […]
