As Chief Prosecutor, Klobuchar Declined to Bring Charges Against Cop that Killed George Floyd
All my disgust for Klobs is multiplied by 1,000.
While serving as Minnesota’s chief prosecutor between 1999 and 2007, Klobuchar declined to bring charges against more than two dozen officers who had killed citizens while on duty – including against the cop that killed George Floyd.
Can Someone Please Explain This to Me?
We’ve got a bunch of Murkins out there threatening civil government with armed resistance — because they DON’T want to wear masks. Historically speaking, isn’t insurrection a reason to cover one’s face to hide one’s identity? These people also tend to be paranoid about facial-recognition technology. Wouldn’t wearing a mask be a simple way to […]
Song of the Day 5/28: Pavement, “Spit on a Stranger”
As tempers flare over mask-wearing in public, there have been more than a few cases of aggrieved assholes who won’t don a face covering coughing on or spitting at people who challenge them over it. This should be their theme song. It appeared on Pavement’s final LP, 1999’s “Terror Twilight.” The neo-bluegrass band Nickel Creek, […]
Delaware Political More-Or-Less Weekly–Late May Edition
1. A Four-Way R Primary For Governor? It’s possible. Brew Pub owner Neil Shea has filed. State Senator Bryant Richardson has announced that he will run. Grocery store magnate Chris Kenny has been testing the waters. And someone named David Joseph Bosco of Greenwood filed this week. All I can tell you about him is […]

President Marks Deaths Of 100,000 Americans By Not Marking The Deaths Of 100,000 Americans. Here’s how he gets away with all this crap: Short answer–he has normalized the unthinkable. Eric Trump Cheers The Dow Rise In Celebration Of The Milestone. China Takes Over Hong Kong While US Does Nothing. Pompeo couldn’t rush to recognize China’s […]
Lisa Blunt Rochester Would Like You to Know that She Wrote a Letter
Completely fucking useless.
WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), (and bipartisans!) joined in urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to do everything it can to ensure that air-monitoring networks and air monitors that are critical to informing public health protections remain in operation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
What fucking planet does this useless fucking waste of space live on?
Song of the Day 5/27: Ozzy Osbourne, “Crazy Train”
It’s been 40 years since Ozzy Osbourne and guitarist Randy Rhoads released what became one of heavy metal’s most iconic songs. Though the guitar riff retains its grungy glory, the tune itself — written about the Cold War –sounds rather tame in retrospect, especially nowadays, when we have an off-his-rocker president steering the crazy train. […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., May 27, 2020
OK, now we’ve got the virtual lay of the land. The House voted yesterday to permit virtual sessions. Two R’s voted no: Rich Collins, who doesn’t believe that there should be any government, and Shannon Morris, who wants to be just like Rich Collins when he grows up. The Senate will do so today at […]
DL Open Thread: Weds., May 27, 2020
Minneapolis Cops Kill Black Man In Broad Daylight. Cop chokes man with knee for eight minutes while other cops just stand there. In a rarity, they are actually fired for their behavior. But who knows if they’ll ever face charges. If there are special protections for rogue cops written into law in Minnesota, it’s unlikely. […]
Should you try insulin?
“I don’t use insulin. Should I be? Huh? I never thought about it, but I know a lot of people are very badly affected,”
Yes. Please do. What do you have to lose?
Are You Dumb, Angry & Sick? You May be a Typical Fox News Viewer
We’ve known for a while that Fox News viewers know less about the world and current events than Americans who watch no news at all. We’ve also known that Fox News makes its viewers angrier than their fellow Americans, now research shows that watching Fox News will make you sick.
Song of the Day 5/26: Dobie Gray, “Drift Away”
“Drift Away” has been recorded by dozens of artists, but none of the covers matches what I always thought was the original by Dobie Gray. Turns out I was wrong — the original recording wasn’t by Gray but by one John Henry Kurtz, a country/swamp rock singer from Havertown, Pa., who released one LP, “Reunion,” […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tues., May 26, 2020
This is a ‘soft opening’. A soft virtual opening. Today, the House meets virtually to pass legislation that will enable them to meet virtually. Tomorrow, the Senate will do the same. Each of these two meetings will serve as a shakedown cruise to test the respective virtual systems, which is why they’re not both meeting […]
