From One Wisconsin Now’s Twitterfeed:
Something smells at the Harley Museum, must be one of @ScottKWalker #brownbags of poo. #rpw2010
For an organization called “One Wisconsin Now” they sure are obsessed with #2.

Scot Ross of (*) One Wisconsin Now manages to be funny without engaging in coprophilia. He reports on one liberal expectation from the state GOP convention, “By the by, libs say the over/under on times Rebecca Kleefisch mentions Reagan in her speech is 12.”
That’s probably about right, and too bad none of the candidates [...]

Scot Ross on Facebook commenting on Marquette’s decision to rescind their offer to Jodi O’Brien:
“Rescinding the offer took no small amount of courage.” – lapdog Marquette adminstrator Wm. Thorn in Sunday’s MJS on the O’Brien debacle. Kowtowing to homophobes isn’t courage, it’s pathetic. Thorn and Marquette, go eat a bag of fuck.
Just another reminder that [...]

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker promised that, if elected, he would create 250,000 jobs. The promise has attracted some silly attention from the political left who point out Wisconsin has about 250,000 currently unemployed.
Barrett’s communication director, Phil Walzak, countered that the mayor has a proven record of attracting and retaining jobs, including the Republic [...]

Time once again to look back at the predictions of last January.  Robert Heinlein’s character Lazarus Long said that Cassandra did not get nearly the kicking she deserved.  Well, I hope I deserve better.
My predictions, 29 for 2009, are below, and the results are in italics.
1. Beer and alcohol prices will increase substantially due to [...]

The organization with the wonderfully fascist-sounding name, One Wisconsin Now, a self-admitted partisan organization, sent out this “urgent appeal” from Scot Ross this morning:
james: I wasn’t going to email you today, but last night during the budget debate Assembly Republicans tried to kill the state budget’s prevailing wage plan — and we need your help [...]

This is just classic. Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson raked in over $11,000 in donations from members of a law firm with a malpractice case before the court. Abrahamson did not disclose the donations to the parties involved in the case.
Abrahamson has not disclosed the donations from members of the firm, Cannon [...]

In Friday’s Waukesha Freeman, Scot Ross of the organization with the Fascist-sounding name, One Wisconsin Now, attempts to take issue with my January 22nd Waukesha Freeman column, “Supremely different.” In that column I argue,
The concern should be less about Koschnick’s defense of a criminal {Ted Oswald} as a defense attorney than whether Koschnick would be [...]

Fred Dooley at Real Debate Wisconsin is sponsoring a petition to stop the death tax from rising from the grave. The petition is online.
One Wisconsin Now (a really fascist sounding name, isn’t it?) has launched a petition effort of their own to raise this killer zombie.
“Wisconsin will not allow the legislature to slash programs [...]
