Is it great to be a Republican?
Tommy Thompson thinks so! Buzz went through the room at Republican pints & politics, held at the Dorf Haus in rural Roxbury WI Wednesday night 01-7-26, ably emceed by WiscoRolf. Tommy Thompson was in the house! No one works a room like Tommy. The living legend hugs and chortles his way from diner to diner —

The Capital Times IS ‘the far left’
Never reticent and probably none the wiser. We read Paul Fanlund and The Capital Times because he and it are responsible for much of the goofiness in Madison-area politics. Same reason Mossad keeps track of Hamas. Publisher Fanlund is smarting from the white-hot blowback from property taxpayers over their city and school tax bills (which

Be careful with those Trump $100 bills
Do NOT use them to buy lottery tickets in Mt. Horeb WI! The faceless bureaucrats here at The Werkes have not forgotten the two scamps who seemed to have quite enjoyed their night on the town back on 12-19-25.

The Big Lie is 5 years old

Madison public schools are disproportionately stupid
Racists blame the teachers! Madison’s public schools have a “coordinator for progressive discipline.” Things we never knew, thanks to Chris Rickert, writing for our favorite local morning newspaper.

Wrong guy begins new year with right ideas
You won’t go wrong with this agenda! Hard to believe it is 2026. Still remember the wonderment at the clock turning over to a new millennium, well, 26 years ago. (Still can’t count out Y2K freezing our computers.) In any event, we begin Year 10 of Blaska Policy Werkes with an annual tradition: the Head

“Economist John Maynard Keynes suggested that the government pay people to dig holes in the ground and then fill them up. This is an apt metaphor for progressive government these days: It creates social dysfunction, then shovels out money to correct it.” — Alyssia Finley
“Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) suggested the seizure of Mr. Maduro would now be emulated: ‘What prevents China from claiming the same authority over Taiwan’s leadership? What stops Vladimir Putin from asserting a similar justification to abduct Ukraine’s president?’
“I have news for Mr. Warner: Mr. Putin has not declined to capture Volodymyr Zelensky because of his deep regard for the niceties of law.” — Gerard Baker
“The Administration that has indicted James Comey and Letitia James has not indicted a single person for stealing the 2020 election. Make of that what you will.” — Conservative commentator Erick Erickson
Today’s Laff Riot!
Isn’t it wild! People actually got fired from their jobs for saying about Charlie Kirk what Donald Trump said about Rob Reiner!
