Song of the Day 7/20: The Box Tops, “Cry Like a Baby”
Diaper Donnie was at it again in his bonkers interview with Chris Wallace, whining, complaining and generally acting like the giant baby that ate America. So here’s another one for that ever-growing Trump crybaby play list. This was the follow-up single to the Box Tops’ smash No. 1 hit “The Letter.” Producer Dan Penn was […]

Trump, Rethugs Look To Decimate Aid Bill. Seek to double down on stuff people hate. Mike Pompeo: Even Sleazier Than We Knew. No wonder Pompeo fired the IG post-haste. Trump’s Bat-Shit Crazy Interview With Chris Wallace. The most ridiculous comments. He. Is. Mentally. Ill: Let Biden sit through an interview like this,” Trump said to […]
Trump tells Chris Wallace that he is staying in the White House, even in defeat. Biden Responds
TRUMP: You don’t know until you see. It depends. I think mail-in voting is going to rig the election. I really do.
WALLACE: Are you suggesting that you might not accept the results of the election?
TRUMP: No. I have to see. Look, Hillary Clinton asked me the same thing.
WALLACE: No, I asked you the same thing at the debate.
TRUMP: What I’m saying is that I will tell you at the time. I’ll keep you in suspense. OK?
BIDEN: The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.
Song of the Day 7/19: Ben Folds, “2020”
Ben Folds was in the midst of an Australian tour when the coronavirus struck, and he’s been there ever since. He’s staying put and is recording his next album. Last month he released this ballad, even though the year in question is only halfway over. “We seem to be currently reliving and cramming a number […]

Trump Opposes $$’s For Testing And Contract Testing In New Aid Package. History will record that Trump’s passing the pandemic response off to the states will be among the most disastrous decisions ever made by a President: But their ultimate goal was to shift responsibility for leading the fight against the pandemic from the White […]
Song of the Day 7/18: MGMT/Earth, Wind & Fire, “Kids/September”
I’m rather unforgiving about mash-ups. I think most of them try too hard at melding disparate songs whether they really blend well or not, because the editing tools people use allow for that. They only work for me when the beats align perfectly, and they do on this one. It’s rather crude — the music […]

RIP: John Lewis. Simply put, one of the greatest Americans to ever walk among us. From civil rights hero to congressional giant. Trump, DHS Taking Fascism ‘National’. If you haven’t paid attention to what’s going on in Portland, Oregon, you simply must. Rather than heed calls to withdraw, Ken Cuccinelli, who would never have a […]
Song of the Day 7/17: Hildegard von Blingin’, “Pumped Up Kicks”
I probably spend too much time on YouTube, which is how I stumbled across music’s hottest new trend: Bardcore, in which modern songs are played on flutes, drums and various medieval stringed instruments. It started in April, when someone going by the name Cornelius Link made a version of a tune called “Astronomia” with medieval […]
Trump says Biden wants to “destroy the suburbs” – How Biden should respond
When Trump says shit like this (below), it must be tempting for the Biden team to get into the weeds of trying to educate this asshole on the topic of fair housing. Biden should resist this temptation and just point out what a crazy nutbag Trump is being.
Possible Biden Response: He sounds crazy because he is crazy.
Possible Biden Response: Poor guy. He is a mess.
Possible Biden Response: He sounds like he needs serious medical attention.
There are no persuadable voters. Nobody is going to be moved by a discourse on housing discrimination.
Here is what Trump said:
They’re absolutely determined to eliminate single family zoning, to destroy the value of houses and communities already built, just as they have in Minneapolis and other locations that you read about today. Your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise.
Joe Biden and his bosses from the radical left, want to significantly multiply what they’re doing now. And what will be the end result is you will totally destroy the beautiful suburbs. Suburbia will be no longer as we know it. So they want to defund and abolish your police and law enforcement, while at same time destroying our great suburbs.

The Disastrous Response To COVID By Delaware Nursing Homes. Genesis and Manor Care (Manor Care being Yrene Waldron’s previous employer) are still among the worst offenders, some 20 years after Delaware enacted strong nursing home reforms. John, are you still satisfied with the performance of your Division Director? If so, you’re still willing to accept […]
Coons Says the Senate Isn’t Working Because… well, I’ll let Coons say it
COONS: So top causes (of Senate polarization). We don’t live together. So we travel back and forth to our home states every week. For Delaware, I’ve traveled back and forth to my home state almost every day, so I’m an exception.
But for most of the Senate, listening to Joe Biden, my predecessor, and asking him how he and John McCain, for example, built a working friendship over decades, everyone would come in on Monday and stay until Friday, and often move their families here and often live here for long periods of time.
Senators need to live, love and pray together so Democrats can learn how to compromise better. Coons is very committed to this idea. Get a load of this…
…And when I got back, I made a point of going up to several, relatively, new senators who I overlap with on a committee, an area of interest, an area of background, but where we don’t really know each other that well.
And I said, bluntly, I want to come get to know you. I want to come to your state. I want to come to your home. I welcome you to mine. I’d like to go to worship together. I’d like to give a speech together. I’d like to find a way to legislate together. Because if there aren’t people I can work with, there is really no point in my being here, first.
They need to eat their Republican Sandwiches and pray together. That’s the ticket!
That was from September 2018. Coons’ heroic GOP ass-kissing campaign has yet to bear any fruit.

Song of the Day 7/16: Hüsker Dü, “Makes No Sense At All”
Our man-baby president punked the media yesterday by calling a news conference and instead vomiting forth a rally speech that was incomprehensible even for him. Hence this Bob Mould song, the first and only single from “Flip Your Wig,” the 1985 LP Mould considers the band’s best. He still sings this one today. The B-side […]
