They must be crazy
Democrats can’t stand up for America. President Trump’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night got off to an auspicious start when, just a few minutes in, sergeants at arms (they were not masked) hustled the noisome Rep. Al Green (D-TX) and his gilded cane out of the chambers. Did not attend a GOP watch party but guessing some of the kibitzers commented, “That’s a start.” (Green held sign saying “Black people are not apes.” Well, Trump did ask for it.) A goodly number of Democrat(ic) lawmakers chose to go AWOL and held their own event. Reminded the indentured servants…

Who’s watching?
Trump’s State of the Union address tonight? This gracelessly aging bloggeur lights a small votive (and fruit fly repellant) candle to give thanks that we have not been elected to the speaker of any house, be it the WI State Assembly or the U.S. House of Representatives (or the Stately Manor when the Lovely Lisa is in residence). Not that we have been asked. A requirement of the position, it appears, is to sit high upon the dais behind the governor or president whilst the chief executive reads his State of the State address, as Tony Evers did last week,…

Our politics is more stupid than …
“An eye for an eye makes both people blind.” — Sen. John Neely Kennedy, R-Louisiana. The indentured servants run to the flickering b&w Philco like it is spitting casino coins whenever is heard the honeyed tones of Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy. (We watch more C-Span these days because we like our Metamucil straight from the cow.) You can smell the corn meal frying in the lard when Senator Kennedy speaks. He’s today’s Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and Bill Maher but with committee chairmanships. Senator Kennedy is out with a book — the title alone demands its New York Times…

Robin Vos never subscribed to the Big Lie
The Speaker believed responsible conservatism wins elections. Not many Assembly speakers have cut so wide a swath as Robin Vos or engendered so much bilious spite — from members of his own Republican party. A record 14 years leading the majority party is itself historic, especially considering that my Republicans are less disciplined than feral cats on catnip. Republicans (too many self-employed small business people) just don’t fall in line like the community organizers in the other party. Case in point: Joe Biden taps Kamala Harris as his successor and Democrats take a knee. Speaker Vos, for just the…

A little tough talk, in plain English
Give war a chance. Blaska has offered the Wisconsin State Journal, our favorite Madison morning daily newspaper (except for Mondays), his unique and under-appreciated talents to write an opinion column. Awaiting a response from whoever is its current editor. (They come and they go more frequently than Peruvian presidents.) If our price ($500 a pop) is too rich for your blood, make a counter-offer. As Jerry Lundegaard said in Fargo, “I’m working with ya on this thing here.” It could be our prose is too (how shall we say) “vivid” for the timorous. Blaska admits a stylistic debt to…
