Song Of The Day: Dec. 31, 2017
Betcha you thought it would segue right into Tripe Face Boogie. Too cold for Tripe Face Boogie, though.
BREAKING: Wilmington’s Ex-Top Cop To Run For Sen. Henry’s Seat
WDEL has the story here. Bobby Cummings, apparently not concerned that nobody but WDEL and someone like me, I guess, are paying attention, said that he would kick off his campaign for the retiring senator’s seat next Friday. Well. What does anybody/everybody think about that? Countdown to Sam Guy’s first attempt at character assassination begins […]
Open Thread Dec. 30: Trump as History’s Hairball
Hey, kids, remember the Tea Party? Seems like a long time ago that the greatest threat to moving America forward was a bunch of middle-aged guys dressing up in tricorns. But author Cas Mudde draws a line through American history to conclude thatTrump, not the GOP mainstream, represents the party’s radicalized voters. Ironically, the mainstream […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: The Top Ten!!!!
I’ve received a warning from the Punctuation Police about excessive use of exclamation points. This, however, is as far as it goes as we’ve reached the Top Ten. And a distinguished Top Ten it is. But first, let’s recap the rest of the countdown. Check ’em out. Oh, and share ’em with your friends. Lotsa […]
Open Thread Dec. 29: Babylon and On
Tired of waiting for the weekend, when Trump routinely slips his restraints and takes to the Twitter machine, for your expected dose of crazy? You’re in luck. A New York Times reporter hit on the tactic of hanging out at his golf course and buttonholing the chatterbox-in-chief for an impromptu half-hour yap flap. The highlight […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: #’s 20-11!!!
20. 19. 18. 17. 16. 15. 14. OK, kids, without looking it up, in what Broadway musical did this song first appear, and who wrote it? I’ll be ‘danged’ if you can get it… 13. Has anybody seen God and Kendrick Lamar in the same place at the same time? No? It could be […]
If a Republican Loses, It’s Not a Valid Election
Point and laugh at hapless clown Roy Moore’s latest step in his refusal to acknowledge reality. He filed a lawsuit in federal court, the one he was twice kicked off of, alleging voter fraud in the election that saw him repudiated by a margin of more than 20,000 Alabama voters. Take a careful look, because […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: #’s 30-21!!
Notice my subtle suspense-building mechanism of adding an additional exclamation point each day? Just working on my subliminal mind-control techniques should they become necessary. Today’s tunes run the gamut from the profane to…the not-so profane: 30. 29. 28. 27. 26. 25. 24. 23. 22. They had me at the Curtis Mayfield sample: […]
Open Thread Dec. 27: Russians Fulfill GOP’s Longing for Autocracy
It’s the time of year when writers turn to looking back and summing up, the better to put the work in the can and take a couple of weeks off for the holidays. In 25 years at the News-Journal I never reached enough seniority to take this week off, so I sympathize with the writers […]
‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: #’s 50-41
Had at least 100 songs I considered. Resulting in an incredibly diverse list– or at least as diverse as a 66-year-old guy who is set in his ways can muster. I hope you discover some gems along the way to #1. Let’s get started: 50. 49. 48. 47. 46. 45. 44. 43. 42. […]
