It’s Official: House Democratic Caucus A Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Of BHL’s Campaign
Thanks to Our PAL Val, who has stated that she supports BHL because she can manipulate her. Which is why the current House Chief-Of-Staff is only there for the paycheck while still working as BHL’s operative. On the state’s dime. Kinda what you have to do if the campaign has no money and no volunteers. […]
Song of the Day 12/12: Carole King, “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”
WXPN’s contest countdown is nearly through (as I post this there are fewer than 60 songs to go) and most of the entries I put on my ballot because I thought they’d be underrepresented have been played. So have most of my late rejects. This song has been played, too, but not by this artist. […]
I Don’t Give a Fuck What You Think About Israel and the Palestinians
Seriously, I don’t give a flying fuck what you think, and if you’re honest with yourself – a heavy lift for a lot of people – you don’t give a flying fuck what I or anyone else thinks, either. Simple acid test: Has a month-plus of nonstop discussion of this changed your mind about it? […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023
Governments around the world like to pretend they’re doing something about global warming, but for all the talk about renewables, 80% of the world’s energy is still derived from fossil fuels. Lots of petroleum-producing countries, and oil industry in this one, want to keep it that way. Their latest victory came at the UN’s COP28 […]
Final Call: DL’s MVP’s Of the Year
We started off strong, but responses have dropped off. Deadline’s this Friday. Who belongs on our list, and why do they belong? C’mon, pipples, I can’t do it all by myself. At least, I don’t want to do it all by myself. Help me out!
Song of the Day 12/11: Laurie Anderson, “O Superman”
WXPN’s year-end countdown of the 885 Greatest Songs by Women – I know, the title sounds more ridiculous every time you hear it – reached my pick for No. 1 yesterday afternoon. “O Superman” clocked in at No. 262, between Phoebe Snow’s “Poetry Man” and Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Pieces.” I don’t know if […]

Cynics might consider a UN climate conference a study in hypocrisy – thousands of people burned fossil fuel flying to a desolate stretch of sand atop a petroleum patch so they can emit a lot of hot air pretending to do something about global warming. Oil-rich nations, though, see it as an existential threat. Reuters […]

Biden: ‘Screw Congress, I’ll Send More Lethal Weaponry To Israel Because I Can.’ He’s not just ineffectual, he’s now complicit in a genocide: Demanding that recipients of US military assistance comply with the laws of war is entirely unremarkable in every other context. There are multiple US laws that require monitoring and cutting off military […]

Let The Carnage Continue. US vetoes UN resolution calling for ceasefire in Gaza: World leaders, international rights groups and United Nations officials have criticised the United States for vetoing a UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza and failing to halt the war that has killed more than 17,400 Palestinians and about […]
Song of the Day 12/8: Imogen Heap, “Hide and Seek”
WXPN’s countdown of the 885 Greatest Songs By Women – yes, it’s grandiose, but they had to call it something – has passed the halfway mark, and my strategy of picking cuts I thought might otherwise be ignored isn’t looking too successful. So far only two of my 10 selections, “Birthday” by the Bjork-led Sugarcubes […]
You Can NOW Donate To Kamela Smith!
Finally, Act Blue has come through: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/kamela-smith-donate You will note that there’s a $99 level for those who don’t want to risk retaliation from Val. Me? I’m going with $101, because (a) I want Val to know, and (b) I got my wife’s permission. Make it happen, pipples. Contribute and then come over here and […]

The Zieglers Of Florida. Looks like the sex was consensual, but the Liberty Mom was supposed to be part of it. Speaking Of The Mom For Taking Liberties, she’s toast: On Wednesday, the Daily Beastreported that the Leadership Institute, the conservative political training group where Bridget Ziegler works as a vice president, had removed her […]
Delaware Political Weekly: December 1-7, 2023
1. The Collin O’Mara Soon-To-Be Gubernatorial Candidacy. He’s running. I have no idea how he’ll do. Don’t know for sure, but I believe he’s running in the BHL lane that I think is soon to be available. You can’t run a campaign without money, without donors, without staff, and without volunteers. Which is why I […]
