Song of the Day 5/7: The Rolling Stones, “Paint It, Black”
As both puck and El Somnambulo have noted, the Orange Offal in the Oval, in yet another fumbling attempt to change the subject from his staggering ineptitude, has decreed, apparently on official stationery with a Sharpie, that his mostly-imaginary border wall Shall Hereby Be Painted Black. Hence today’s song. Dotards and psychotics often obsess over […]

Trump Has Rolled Back Nearly 98 Environmental Rules. If Biden manages to get elected from his basement, I would hope that one of the first things he does before he takes office is to have a team review every single executive order and administrative action taken by Trump, and present him with an action plan […]
Most Punchable-Faced Republican Senator
Thanks to everyone who helped determine that Trump lickspittle Ron DeSantis of Florida has the most punchable face among America’s Republican governors. Condolences to Georgia’s Brian Kemp, who ran even with DeSantis for a while before fading to second, probably by staying out of the news for most of the week. Texas’ Greg Abbott took […]
Song of the Day 5/6: Guns N’ Roses, “Live and Let Die”
Donald Trump visited a factory that makes medical-grade face masks yesterday. He got lots of scolding for not wearing a mask during his tour, but I thought the more noteworthy aspect was the fact that someone played this James Bond theme song while he strolled around. I couldn’t tell which version was playing on the […]
OK, General Assembly. It’s Time.
I think most Delawareans have remained largely unconcerned about the ongoing closure of the General Assembly. Safety first. However, the challenges facing the state that will need to be addressed by the General Assembly now face the normal June 30 deadline. Sure, it’s possible that the General Assembly can meet post-July 1, especially since it’s […]

Carney Partially Reopens Some Delaware Businesses. In general, it’s a cautious approach and, I think, a prudent one. Although I do question why we’re removing any restrictions in Sussex County as it remains a COVID-19 hot spot. US Corporations Dump Employees While Rewarding Stockholders With Dividends. Including WWE and its avaricious boss, Vince McMahon. Kushner’s […]
Scientist Files Whistleblower Lawsuit Against Trump Administration
The lawsuit is comprehensive and detailed. Included in the 89-page brief: He (Rick Bright) also notes that he clashed with his boss, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at HHS Robert Kadlec, for at least two years, according to the complaint. Bright alleged that Kadlec and others pressured him to buy drugs and medical products […]
Song of the Day 5/5: War, “Low Rider”
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, a holiday more celebrated in El Norte than in Mejico, I give you War’s tribute to one of the symbols of California’s Mexican-American culture. From the band’s 1975 “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” album, it reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Lots of covers exist, but only […]

Ted DiBiase: Million Dollar Man/Wrestler/Minister/Scam Artist. Religion and rasslin’ are two of the greatest scams goin’ today. Both have seen better days, especially religion. Notable former wrestlers like Tully Blanchard and Nikita Koloff have become ministers. But nobody has made a bigger deal of his conversion to the cause than the Million Dollar Man, Ted […]
Song of the Day 5/4: Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes, “Cantina Song”
It’s Star Wars day, so who better to deliver the song of the day than Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes — the band featured in the cantina scene in the original “Star Wars” film. Yes, the band had a name, and even a backstory. According to Wookieepedia, Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes was […]
They Rage, Rage Against the Light
Donald Trump, who hears — mostly from the voices in his head — that he’s the hardest-working president in history, erupted in another ragefest on Twitter this morning, triggered by Joe Scarborough reporting merely that Trump trails Joe Biden in polls. ‘Concast’ should open up a long overdue Florida Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough.

Down on its luck DEGOP drafts this guy to run for Governor. He says he is running as an independent, but his base and his platform is pure red white and blue GOP. The most important interview I received all day yesterday. I was once approached by a woman in red and asked “how many […]
Song of the Day 5/3: Harry Nilsson, “Coconut”
With Trump grasping at every coronavirus miracle cure that crosses his diseased mind, I think it’s time he looked into Dr. Nilsson’s remedy. I tend to think that adding a jigger of rum makes it better, but hey — maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t. What have you got to lose?
