I have some new commenters here. That’s always good, but I’m asking everyone to please obey the rules. A couple of highlights for the new people:
Comments are not only allowed, they are encouraged. I allow the maximum freedom possible but, quoting National Review’s classified advertising policy, one man’s freedom is another man’s [...]
I had to laugh at Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane the other day when he announced, “Ron Paul, my new hero.”
Did you hear how Republican congressman Ron Paul smacked down all those folks who are fear-mongering against the so-called Ground Zero mosque?
Frankly, he’s my new hero.
Given Ron Paul’s history when it comes to [...]
Since Laurel Walker’s article appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, a number of Mayor Scrima supporters (or one under different names) has taken to denying that the mayor could have possibly suggested painting over a the wall sculpture at city hall. I had an e-mail conversation with the mayor the other day about that [...]
As we all know by now, highly-paid political campaign professionals in charge of a campaign’s communications never make a mistake when linking to a video on the internet. And certainly not two highly-paid, important, campaign professionals, especially when dealing with an important issue.

Well, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s columnist on race, Eugene Kane, has weighed-in on whether an accidental re-tweet” by a Walker staffer was some sort of racially coded message.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s headline writers seem to have trouble distinguishing between light rail and the proposed high-speed rail. First it was the story on last night’s meeting in Brookfield (which seems to be cut off right before they get to the content of the meeting.) Then it was today’s article about Governor Jim Doyle’s [...]
Ricky on State advises everyone in Waukesha to play nice.
If Waukesha Mayor Jeff Scrima wants to be a successful mayor – and we hope he is very successful – he needs to step back and consider one of the basic lessons of politics: To get something done, you have to be able to work well [...]
Former state Natural Resources Secretary Scott Hassett, Democratic candidate for State Attorney General, can’t get any attention for his campaign, so the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel decided to run an article about how Hassett can’t get any press coverage. It’s the “Dog doesn’t bite man” school of journalism.
I have a couple of suggestions for Hassett [...]
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s article on last night’s Waukesha Common Council meeting is currently showing 120 comments. That sounds like a lot but how many comments do they have actually? I realize the comments tend to be a bit repetitious on Waukesha’s water issue, but the first 64 comments must be from a [...]
Despite a general decline in the thoughtfulness and general quality of Jay Bullock’s blog folkbum, he is still one of the leading liberal bloggers in the state. The decline of folkbum can be traced directly to his decision to bring additional bloggers.
Last week, one of the other bloggers at Bullock’s blog, “Bert,” [...]
