El Somnambulo left this one off his list of his favorite new tunes of April, maybe because he didn’t get a chance to hear it – it dropped April 29. Or maybe because he’s not a big fan of Redd Kross, formed as a punk band in Hawthorne, Calif., in the late ’70s by brothers ..read more

1. Have The Governor’s Races Changed Over The Last Week? On the R side, which doesn’t particularly matter, the answer is a clear yes. On the D side, I think the answer is yes, but it’s less certain. It will become decidedly ‘yes’ if Collin O’Mara can run a campaign that builds on his momentum ..read more

Let Your Grass Grow. Not that kind of grass. Anybody who’s driven past my yard knows why I draw inspiration from this piece: Your vibrant green lawn may look lush, but it’s actually an ecological wasteland. “The idea for that ideal lawn is that nothing else can live in it,” said David Mizejewski, a naturalist ..read more

Contentious cross-examination of porn star Stormy Daniels made this an inevitable tabloid headline. I started humming this Harold Arlen standard, now 91 years old, as soon as I read it. Arlen composed a lot of tunes that made the Great American Songbook – “Let’s Fall in Love,” “That Old Black Magic,” “One for My Baby ..read more

H/t El Somnambulo It must be something in the water, nanoplastics or something, because suddenly politicians are saying shit that nobody looking for votes should ever say. First it was the Dogslayer, now it’s RFK Jr. saying a worm ate part of his brain … and, oh yes, also, he had mercury poisoning. I say ..read more

I guess the biggest news is the number of absentees in the House yesterday. Six in all, with several roll calls having at least eight absences. Allergies? Also, the two House bills mandating insurance coverages for certain costs received a large number of R no’s and not votings. I can understand why on HB 274 ..read more

If you want to dominate the headlines, it helps to be the defendant in four legal proceedings simultaneously. Luckily for Trump, the one serious crime he’s accused of, stealing top-secret documents, is the one that was paused indefinitely by MAGA judge Aileen Cannon. Meanwhile, the judge in his New York falsifying-business-records case – that’s what ..read more

You can tell Donnie Two Scoops is on Ozempic (or Wegovy, they’re the same thing, just different doses) because he’s taken to mocking people for being fat. At a fundraiser in Texas for Rep. Ronny Jackson, the erstwhile White House doctor who lied about Trump’s weight, Trump said Tester “looks pregnant to me. … He ..read more
