Comorbidity – a.k.a. “Those Fat Losers Were Going to Die Anyway”
Chris Coons’ good buddy, Alex Azar, has a new talking point:
Barack Obama Openly Slams Trump – Because Trump Richly Deserves to Be Slammed
During his commencement speech for graduates of the nation’s historically black colleges and universities, Obama scorched Trump’s incompetence:
The pandemic has “torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing,” said the former president in a digital commencement speech. “A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge.”
Then in a virtual commencement address to graduating high school seniors across the country Obama called Trump and infantile loser:
“Doing what feels good, what’s convenient, what’s easy, that’s how little kids think,” Obama said. “Unfortunately a lot of so-called grownups, including some with fancy titles, important jobs, still think that way, which is why things are so screwed up.”
Song of the Day 5/17: Linda Ronstadt and Chuck Berry, “Back in the USA”
There’s quite a backstory to this live performance from 1987 in St. Louis, Chuck Berry’s hometown, at the first of two concerts to celebrate his 60th birthday. “Back in the USA” wasn’t one of Berry’s biggest hits. He wrote it in 1959, after returning from an Australian tour, but it made it only to No. […]
DL Open Thread: Sun., May 17, 2020
Trump’s Troglodytes Head To Rehoboth. Their Constitutional right to infect others is being violated. I can’t emphasize this enough: The President is openly encouraging insurrection and violating the law. It’s only a matter of time before we have another Charlottesville. If natural selection is a ‘thing’, it’s time for it to kick in. Obama: Trump […]
Song Of The Day 5/16: Ronnie Love, “Chills And Fever”
A song about social distancing? Didn’t think so. Tom Jones gave it the ol’ white boy college try: Samantha Fish shows how it should be done:

Trump Dumps Another IG In The Dead Of Night. He apparently flew too close to some Pompeo misdeeds. Effective oversight must not be countenanced. For Those Of You About To Die For The Dow, We Salute You. Paul Krugman tries to make sense of the Rethug obsession with ‘America’s Back’. House Passes $3 Trillion Relief […]

Trump ‘Demands’ That Lindsey Graham Have Obama Testify About ‘Obamagate’. Graham says ‘Nyet’. Be careful what you wish for, indeed. I mean, could you imagine? BTW, a Trump war of words with Graham can only help the D who is running against Graham. This guy. He’s raised a lot of money, even outraised Graham in […]
Delaware Congressional Delegation Silent On Trump’s Plan to Put Obama on Trial
Trump has ordered congress to put Obama through a show trial for something the right wing fever swamps calls “OBAMAGATE” (a largely incoherent conspiracy theory that positions former President Obama as the mastermind behind a conspiracy to use federal law enforcement to undermine Trump’s campaign and presidency).
This dangerous and outrageous demand has been met by silence by Delaware’s congressional delegation.
Song Of The Day 5/15: David Crosby, “Almost Cut My Hair”
As Alby is in transit, today’s song is all about me. Oh, sure, I might have been short-changed in the height department, and I might be one or two (or so) pounds over my ideal weight, but there is no denying my Samsonesque locks. Women have been remarking about my hirsute hotness for decades now. […]
How the Counties Have Screwed the Schools By Failing to Reassess Property
Property taxes in Delaware are a mess. Everyone who pays any attention to this wonky subject knows that it’s been more than 30 years since any of the state’s counties have reassessed property, so valuations on similar properties can be — excuse the pun — all over the lot. Despite their knowledge of this inherent […]
BREAKING: General Assembly To Reconvene ‘Virtually’ In Late May
Now get this straight: ‘Virtually’ and ‘virtuously’ are not synonyms. The House is scheduled to reconvene on Tuesday, May 26 and the Senate will reconvene on Wednesday, May 27. That’s about all we know so far. Time to dust off my ‘Pre-Game/Post-Game’ chops?
Song of the Day 5/14: Thompson Twins, “Doctor! Doctor!”
Dr. Anthony Fauci has gotten on Trump’s nerves for weeks now, and even a reporter for the Associated Press noticed that it’s making the Man-Baby Menace furious. Has Fauci noticed? Can’t he see Trump is burning, burning? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APyl6Cnbfzw This was the Thompson Twins’ follow-up to their monster 1984 hit, “Hold Me Now.”
