  • How do you like them now?

    Kelda Roys called police ‘dragoons’! We’re reading Max Boot’s biography of Ronald Reagan. “He was always gracious, … always smiling,” a newsman remembered from Reagan’s days as governor of California.  Max Boot comments: “Whether they admit it or not, journalists will pull their punches when writing about someone they like.” (Love the author’s name! Been…

  • School’s out for Socialists

    It’s all fully funded! Why do we keep picking on Francesca Hong? Because it’s easy and it’s fun! The nobler reason (if we must) is that the socialist from Madison’s Woke isthmus represents the cutting edge of the Democrat party. (Just ask John Nichols.) She says out loud what others only dog whistle. The young…

  • Monitor blames police for criminal’s poor choices

    Committing crime is so stressful! Stop the presses! Madison’s independent police monitor blames police for the demise of criminal suspect Richard Lee Johnson. One day after his arrest on 12-30-24 the man died in a Madison hospital. O.K., he had cocaine working in his blood stream. Yeah, he ran from police after stealing a car…

  • Democrats sort through their seven dwarfs

    No trillionaires need apply! Political junkies are trying to extract meaning from the results of the WisPolitics straw poll taken this past weekend at the Democrat(ic) state convention here in Madison WI.  Among the seven dwarfs vying to oppose Tom Tiffany for governor, Sara Rodriquez — rumored to be the state’s current lieutenant governor —…

  • Too much democracy got us into this mess

    Populist paranoia has taken over both parties! Any system that can nominate to the United States Senate a crypto-Nazi like Graham Platner in Maine and a bunko artist like Ken Paxton in Texas — both moral degenerates — is more broken than Bill Gates’ wedding vows. Here in Wisconsin, full-on socialist Francesca Hong is likely…

  • An apology, Senator!

    Shouldn’t everyone get one? Nino Amato wants an apology. So do Betty Mitchell Banks, a children’s TV producer; Richard Harris, author of Growing up Black in S. Madison; and M. Kinney James, Madison’s first black woman police officer. The last three want mea culpas, on behalf of black people uprooted from Madison’s old Greenbush neighborhood.…

But he’s OUR creep

When the news broke that the married Graham Platner was sexting with various women, feminist writer Jill Filipovic declared: 

“The Graham Platner story is landing because it confirms a bunch of his critics’ prior concerns: unvetted, history of poor decision-making, the kind of light misogyny that tends to go along with male bad decision-making. Those are all problems! But it’s worth asking if they’re problems that should be disqualifying for a senate seat and I think the answer to that is no.” … 

So, Platner’s “light misogyny” and “history of poor decision-making” have little bearing on his ability to do the job of being a senator. I don’t exactly know how to define the job of a senator, but I kind of feel like “decision-making” is part of it. — Jonah Goldberg, the Dispatch
