The Bad News? Trump Is President. The Good News? The Eagles Are Your Super Bowl Champions! Me? I’m opting for a day of Bread And Circuses. How they got there. No, no spoilers. I really like this piece. Click, take your time. Savor it. The Chiefs never had a chance: Before long, they stopped looking […]
Song of the Day 2/9: Robin Trower, “Day of the Eagle”
The Eagles won their first Super Bowl by beating the best team in the league, and they’ll have to do the same thing tonight if they’re going to win their second. Guitarist Robin Trower joined Procol Harum in 1967, a couple of months after the band scored a smash hit with “A Whiter Shade of […]

‘Make Musk The Villain’. I agree with Chris Murphy: “I don’t think economic populism really sells to anybody unless you’re naming names. When you engage in sort of just general critiques of billionaires or special interests, I think that falls flat,” Murphy said. “Donald Trump is really good at naming enemies, particular individuals or particular […]
Song of the Day 2/8: David Bowie, “Watch That Man”
That man is Elon Musk, and it behooves the Democrats to not just keep an eye on him, but to tie the Bloated Dotard to Musk’s unpopular, pasty-white ass at every opportunity. But be careful – he talks like a jerk but he could eat you with a fork and spoon. David Bowie wrote “Watch […]

A Failed DL Experiment. Well, actually, it’s all my fault. Going forward, I will no longer post submissions unless I know who wrote the submission. Those who write pieces will, of course, have your anonymity protected should you so desire, but, to protect ourselves and the blog, we must know who is writing. Yes, it […]
BREAKING: Meyer–‘No More Foot-Dragging On School Funding’
As in, no more ‘we won’t be back with recommendations until today’s second-graders have graduated’. Sarah Mueller has the story: In an exclusive interview with WHYY News, Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer said he’s ordering his secretary of education to push to implement a new public education funding system by the start of the 2025-2026 school […]

Open Question: Dan Cruce, where do you live? Do you live in SD 1, or do you live in Suxco? Y’see, it’s kinda important because you ran for office in SD 1, Democratic insiders nominated you to fill the term of Sarah McBride in SD 1. If you don’t live in SD 1, you will be ineligible […]
Song of the Day 2/7: The Dramatics, “Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get”
Turns out a lot of people who either voted for Trump or skipped voting altogether are surprised that he’s doing all the things he said he would do, including things that victimize them and theirs. I guess they figured that because Trump is such a blatant and obvious bullshitter, then everything he said must be […]
Song of the Day 2/6: The Damned, “I Just Can’t Be Happy Today”
This one’s pretty self-explanatory. It should hold true for, oh, the next 1,430 days or so. Not that I’m counting or anything. The Damned were overshadowed by their more obnoxiously promoted contemporaries, the Sex Pistols, who headlined the first show The Damned played. They beat the Pistols to market as the first British punk band […]

Is Dan Cruce Dave McBride Part Deux? Meaning, is he even eligible to hold office as State Senator from SD 1, or is he, in fact, just another Suxco resident seeking a Senate seat in NCC/Wilmington? Here is the complaint that has been filed with Anthony Albence of the Department Of Elections: Commissioner Albence, As a […]
Song of the Day 2/5: Johnny Rivers, “Secret Agent Man”
Word comes that the Musk administration has given all personnel in the Central Intelligence Agency his “buy-out” offer. It seems to me that pissing off thousands of spies might be risky business, but given how effectively the CIA has been at keeping the Russians from fucking with our lives, I’m not counting on their revenge […]

Elon Musk Takes Over America While D’s Apologize Over Hunter Biden’s Pardon. No, not at the same time. But Democrats have now proven themselves utterly incapable of pushing back at all on the oligarchy they have allowed to happen. They are feckless, lacking feck. A non-citizen who is a Nazi sympathizer and a racist […]
Song of the Day 2/4: Baby Huey & the Babysitters, “Hard Times”
Even without Demolition Donny’s pointless tariffs, prices aren’t going down anytime soon, by which I mean “ever.” Song of the Day is well-equipped for what’s coming, because as long as music has been recorded, people have been singing about hard times. Get used to it. You might know this as a Curtis Mayfield song. He […]
