General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Thurs., January 11, 2024
We now see the outlines of the Delaware Rethuglican Party platform for 2024: Giving LLC’s the right to vote; getting revenge for not being able to attend church back in 2021; and now fighting the onerous regulations driving people toward the purchase of EV’s. Sound like a winning combo to you? Not content with merely […]

“Anyone Who Is Unwilling To Say Trump Is Unfit To Be President Of The United States Is Unfit Themselves To Be President Of The United States.” That soundbite from Chris Christie during his announced withdrawal from the presidential race should be aired relentlessly between now and November. Not even Biden’s advisors can screw this up, […]
General Assembly Post-Game Wrap-Up/Pre-Game Show: Weds., January 10, 2024
I’m finally back online following a morning w/o internet or TV service. My wife suggested I read a book. I tried. Too many words. Yesterday was the Story Of Dueling Resolutions–one asking our delegation and President Biden to support a cease-fire in Gaza, and one doing absolutely nothing. You don’t need me to tell you […]
Song of the Day 1/10: Wheatus, “Teenage Dirtbag”
Wheatus is a one-hit wonder whose big hit is more than 20 years old, but it’s become a classic because it’s been revived so many times over the years. Brendan Brown formed the band in his hometown of Northport, Long Island, which became famous when he was a child for a Satanic murder by a […]

The Israeli attempt to wipe out Hamas has brought widespread condemnation, but since calls on conscience are doing nothing to dissuade Netanyahu from his murderous course. So the focus of criticism seems to have shifted toward worries about the war widening to the entire region, with the new Axis of Evil shaping up as Iran, […]

Some of the aides who flipped on Trumpo gave Jack Smith damning evidence about the traitor’s behavior as the attack on the Capitol unfolded on Jan. 6. True to form, the fatass was glued to the tube and refused to act to stop the violence. Motherfucker is as guilty as he is ugly. The Republican […]
Delaware General Assembly Pre-Game Show: Tuesday, January 9, 2024
Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends. Year Two of the 152nd General Assembly. Here are some questions I have: How will Our PAL Val Longhurst fare as Speaker? How will her two cronies perform in leadership? Will Val face any sanctions for using her official office and the state e-mail system […]
Song of the Day 1/8: Fountains of Wayne, “Hey Julie”
For a while there, when the pandemic forced most people to work from home and most of the work got done anyway, Americans looked forward to a future free of commuting to offices. Problem was, without workers in an office, middle managers had nothing to do, and it showed. So over the past year those […]

Brace yourselves for a tsunsami of Trump-in-court news this week as the human colostomy bag faces deadlines and hearings in three of the legal cases against him. I predict those tiny thumbs will get an unprecedented workout as he spews his pixelated spittle all week long. The best thing about having a death cult as […]
Song of the Day 1/7: Insane Clown Posse, “Miracles”
I still can’t get over Trump’s bonkers statement about magnets, to wit: “Now all I know about magnets is this: Give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets.” So he knows even less about magnets than he thinks he does. Turns out Trump has […]

Happy Anniversary! Three Jan. 6 Fugitives Arrested: WASHINGTON — Early Saturday morning at a ranch in Florida, on the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the FBI captured three fugitives accused of participating in the riot. “The FBI executed three federal arrest warrants early this morning at a ranch in […]
Song of the Day 1/6: Lynyrd Skynyrd, “That Smell”
Given the media’s eight-year obsession with Donald Trump, you would think the fact that he’s odiferous would have emerged before now. A person of my close acquaintance who interviewed him several times back in the ’90s, when he was having an affair with Marla Maples and doing his best to pretend he wasn’t, said at […]

Supreme Court Fast-Tracks Trump Ballot Eligibility Case, Slow-Walks Trump Immunity-From-Prosecution Case. Gee, wonder why. All that remains is to see how the Justices will weasel Trump back onto the ballot despite the Constitution: The Supreme Court said Friday that it will decide whether former president Donald Trump’s name can appear on primary election ballots, scheduling […]
