  • Obama Puts Pressure on Joseph Cao

    Letters in Bottles

    Interesting.  Organizing for America, the administration's activism arm, is targeting Congressman Cao on the health care bill through the "grassroots":

    Last November, Louisiana's 2nd congressional district -- your district -- voted to elect Barack Obama, to change how things are done in Washington, and to deliver real reform to [...]

  • Stop the Democratic Bleeding

    Big Tent Circus

    President Barack Obama’s November 4 trip to Wisconsin might have only been partially about education policy. It might have been to coax incumbent Wisconsin Governor James Doyle to pull a Brett Farve and declare himself a candidate for re-election in 2010. Failing that, he still hopes to convince Milwaukee Mayor [...]

  • Lies, Lies, Lies

    Brewtown Gumshoe

    As is their want, the right-wing is energetically espousing revisionist and false views, and accomplishing their objective of having these lies envelope and permeate public discourse, thereby, sadly, steering the debate.

    Complaints regarding President Obama's employment numbers are simply petty, bitter, and nothing less than an attempt to besmirch [...]

  • What's your bid?

    Joel McNally once again pins the tail on the donkey in today's Cap Times. His thoughts on the odd Doyle/Obama/Barrett rush to destroy the coalition that brought victory to Obama and Wisconsin Dems just a year ago, mirrored my own when I waited to speak at the anti-Doyle/Duncan/Barrett rally just [...]

  • Soak 'Em

    Brewtown Gumshoe

    Shouldn't the water rate increase difference between the City and the suburbs be a disincentive for persons or businesses to locate in the suburbs? I can accept higher water rates as a City resident. But suburban rates should be substantially higher, to dissuade further sprawl. Shouldn't the cost of [...]

    The program began with Mozart's "Overture to 'Le Mozze [sic] di Figaro'" (The Marriage of Figaro), followed by the composer's "Concerto No. 27 in B-flat major for Piano and Orchestra," featuring pianist Jeremy Denk.What are those, scare quotes? Strange newspaper style, that.

    Joe Stern, the former mayor of Niagara, Wisconsin announced on Monday that he is running for the Eighth Congressional District seat that is currently held by two-term incumbent Steve Kagen (D).

  • Blogger Night at the Opera

    Dane101

    Is it hyperbolic to say that I'm sitting here at the intersection of New Media and Old Art? The cool marble heights of the Overture Center lobby seem an unusual place for a social media invasion.

    But the bloggers have invaded Madison Opera's opening night performance of Carmen. Writers from' [...]

    Here’s a fun, if meaningless, exercise for a Friday evening if you happen to be sitting at home reading blogs.  What is your favorite opening line from a novel?  Is it the famous “Call me Ishmael”?  How about “It was the best of times, it was the worst of [...]

    Great Lakes Blogger

    A lot of noise has been made in recent weeks about President Barack Obama's $5 billion Great Lakes restoration plan, but nobody in the federal government right now is willing to spend a penny so necessary maintenance can be done on the Asian carp barrier built to keep the jumbo jumping fish from spilling [...]

Don’t get Joey started: “There have been alternative solutions a-freakin-plenty coming from Republicans, Libertarians, and [...]

  • Honduran Deal Falls Apart

    Boots and Sabers

    Good.

    A deal to resolve the political crisis in Honduras is “dead”, ousted President Manuel Zelaya has said.

    He was speaking after interim leader Roberto Micheletti said he was forming a “unity government” without Mr Zelaya’s representatives.

    Mr Micheletti acted as a deadline passed for putting a power-sharing agreement [...]
