Song of the Day 8/3: Elton John, “Slave”
Warning: It is illegal to play this song for students in Florida. This seems like an odd topic for a British pop singer to tackle, but it fit with lyricist Bernie Taupin’s early fascination with 19th-century Americana. It was included on “Honky Chateau,” the 1972 LP that sealed John’s stardom. You might notice that there […]
Carper Bet Big on Bidenomics Bust
Delaware’e wealthiest congressperson, and most savvy investor, bet that the American economy would take a dump. Possibly just prior to the credit rating downgrade. JUST IN: Senator Thomas Carper is shorting the American economy. Thomas Carper bought 30k in $PSQ, an ultrashort $QQQ index, on July 13. He hedged/shorted in the past with great results […]
The DEGOP would like you to know that slavery was a great training program for some slaves who benefited from being slaves. (We said “some” slaves. Jeez!)
Delaware Republican Party Via FB· Last night, 400 people took the time to learn about Critical Race Theory at a town hall in Georgetown. They heard from experts, parents, and teachers about what’s being taught when schools adopt CTR. Getting informed is the first step. Taking action is the next!
Centrists Dipshits Need to Dipshit
I keep forgetting how eager Biden and Merrick Garland were to let “bygones be bygones” and allow Trump to fade into obscurity. They really just wanted him to shut the fuck up, and all the Jan 6th stuff would have been forgiven. Congress shamed them into it. And of course, Trump could no more shut […]
Dumb CW you may hear from low info voters
Everyone is not a politics news junky. And because conservative news is always on in waiting rooms, bars and barber shops, you may hear less informed people [like my brother-in-law] saying this: Why now? It is three years later? It does seem a little like election interference, doesn’t it? Have pity on these people. I […]
DL Open Thread Wednesday August 2 2023
One thing Trump and defenders forget to mention when they go on about “election interference” and the deep state is that Trump may have avoided all of this by not doing so many crimes. New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office said Tuesday its civil fraud case against former President Trump, his two elder sons […]
Song of the Day 8/2: John Lee Hooker, “Boom Boom”
And boom goes the dynamite. Jack Smith answered the question “Will Donald Trump ever face consequences for his life of crime?” in the affirmative, and American history has been changed forever. We just don’t know how yet, because the debris from the blast still hasn’t hit the ground. Considering that those six co-conspirators are for […]
BREAKING: Trump Indicted. Again!
From the NYTimes: Former President Donald J. Trump was indicted on Tuesday in connection with his widespread efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the first criminal charges to emerge from a sprawling federal investigation into Mr. Trump’s attempts to cling to power after losing the presidency to Joseph R. Biden Jr. The indictment, filed by […]
Desantis Campaign Death Watch – 167 Until Iowa
He isn’t going to make it to the convention, but my August 15th prediction might have been a little aggressive. Co-chair for a Ron DeSantis PAC gives up on the Florida man: “He makes dumb moves” Even GOP strategist Ed Rollins, who co-chaired the Ready for Ron PAC (until he didn’t), thinks Ron DeSantis […]
Song of the Day 8/1: Cyndi Lauper, “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Theme”
A lot of 40-somethings are having childhood flashbacks at news of the death at 70 of Paul Reubens, far better known as Pee-Wee Herman. He announced his six-year struggle with cancer only in a posthumous message. Reubens developed the Pee-Wee character as one of the early members of the Groundlings, the Los Angeles improv troupe […]
DE’s Most Intriguing Legislative Races Of 2024: #10-RD 15
This will rank much higher if somebody emerges as a challenger. Fact is, nobody knows just how strong Our PAL Val Longhurst is in her own district. She’s had a couple of half-hearted primary challenges from James Burton, who had no money. Burton’s last challenge came in 2016, where he got about 35% of the […]
DL Open Thread Tuesday August 1 2023
I went to see Oppenheimer last night and I guess I was still under that movie’s spell when I normally would have been collecting up some quips for this space. So once again, it falls to you, gentle reader, to create meaning out of the news.
Here are some suggested topics:
- Even more evidence to Trump’s additional crimes comes to light.
- Desantis is terrible at running for President
- That fucking Chris Coons, JESUS CHRIST!!
- Trump supporters wonder why Biden has not been arrested and executed yet.
- DEGOP is a truly helpless bunch of losers.
As for Oppenheimer, I’ll not review the movie, leaving that to professionals like Andrew C. But I will say that it hit me as intended. With the full force of a work of art.
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes: July, 2023
Best month of the year? Quite possibly. So much stellar stuff and so much variety: I’ve found the songs of Big Thief resistable–until now: For lovers of the Wild Tchoupitoulas which, come to think of it, should be everybody. BTW, Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah is the former Christian Scott, trumpeter extraordinaire. I LOVE this stuff!: […]
