  • Michael Moore and Jimmy Fallon

    FREEDOM EDEN

    Number of comments: 0
    Thursday night, Michael Moore was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. He was hawking his latest movie, Capitalism: A Love Story, just released on DVD.

    Actually, for the first segment, I didn't find Moore to be quite as annoying as I usually do. He didn't go into [...]

  • Why, oh why........

    Kay's Blue Racine

    was McReynolds in DC representing us in a transportation discussion? Who paid for that very expensive trip (I heard the rooms cost in the hundreds per night) and just when did he become the best transportation expert in Racine county?
    I bet some other people would like to know those [...]

  • We Push Republican Ideas

    illusory tenant

    "Nonpartisan" WPRI. Here's your invitation:* Republican Ideas, like school choice, which didn't look as good in the last poll as the numbers WPRI decided to emphasize made it appear.WPRI's concerns were hardly "nonpartisan": I'm not concerned about journalists. I'm concerned about the Scott Ross types who would enjoy being able to portray' [...]

  • Inhaling Coffee Is Just Not Right

    Righty Blog

    I know, I know…people are in a hurry.  There’s just no time.  There’s not even time to grab that cup of coffee in the morning anymore.  So what’s a busy (and trendy) person to do? Grab Le Whif and inhale your caffeine.   It used to be so wonderful to breathe that aroma [...]

  • This Just In...

    The state Assembly’s Committee on Corrections and the Courts got an earful and an eyeful at today’s public hearing on the poorly advised and designed bill to eradicate the 100-plus local ordinances now in place around the state to restrict where released sex offenders can live and congregate. If committee members [...]

  • Lehman Crooks Are More Equal ....

    Dad29

    Sure enough. Lehman's Big Kahunas were cooking the books.

    TurboTax Timmy, Ernst&Young, Bernanke, and the Bush SEC just kinda ignored it even though they KNEW ABOUT IT.

    Not to worry. They still prosecute that sort of activity--if you're not a Big Kahuna, or E&Y, or the Chairman of' [...]

    Eye on Wisconsin

    Number of comments: 1
    Capper at Cognitive Dissidence posted this screen cap, which was taken from Scott Walker's 2002 campaign website. The first of his three big promises was that he would "reduce the salary for the County Executive position by $60,000". It was $128,820 (MJS, 4/5/02) when he took office and now it [...]

    This column is supposed to be about drummers in Dane County, but with just my second edition I’m going to break that rule to profile a drummer who recently left the area; Alex Murrell. Why? Because I think he rocks. And because [...]

  • Who IS the TEA Party?

    Dad29

    Well, the folks in the TEA Party movement are not exactly ignorant homophobe gun-toting redneck racists. They are, as mentioned in a previous post, the "leave us ALONE!!" people.

    A recent poll, commissioned by the National Review Institute and conducted by John McLaughlin and Associates, dispels the claim [...]

  • "Get The Job Done Or Go Home!"

    Big Money Blog

    Doris "Granny D" Haddock was tiny by any measure of physical stature but a giant in civic terms. Her passing at the age of 100 has made international news, I suppose mostly because of the amazing story of her walk across America a decade or so ago. But Granny was [...]

  • Jobless in WI

    Little Miss Sunshine

    This is not a good number, folks:
    Wisconsin lost more than 71,000 non-farm jobs from December to January, according to a new release from the state Department of Workforce Development. DWD says that's less than the typical loss of 80,000 jobs over that timespan.

    The state's unadjusted jobless [...]

  • Oh, but the train will be cheaper

    News and Opinion

    Sure, the state told the federal government that riding the half-fast train to somewhere east of Madison would cost $40 to $66 round trip, but the other day, a state transportation functionary pooh-pooh'd the number. Way too high, said Chris Klein, and besides, the federal grant will cover the cost' [...]

    Phil Gramm runs his mouth a lot about NOT instituting regulations on financial houses such as GoldmanSachs, Citi, BofA, (etc.)

    That's because Phil has this....umnnnhhh....... anchor around his foot.

  • Tommy! brings the lobbyists together

    Haas414

    According to a news release from the Wisconsin Dems, Tommy! is headlining at a top-dollar fundraiser that will be held at a top-dollar D.C. lobbying firm. The release describes it as “Washington’s most elite, GOP lobbying firm – Barbour, Griffith & Rogers.” (These guys, apparently.) So, again, Tommy! brings the lobbyist [...]

  • "Leave Us Alone" v. the (D) Coalition

    Dad29

    Attended a small gathering last night. Was privileged to hear a nationally-know political activist give a rundown on the current situation.

    His assessment of the TEA Party gang?

    They are the "Leave Us Alone" segment of Americans--which he distinguished from the "Give Me the Pie" Americans.

    And [...]
