Keep issuing disorderly conduct citations, Madison police!
Get ’em young before they graduate to maximum security! Madison’s Office of Independent Police Monitor is hot and bothered that its nemesis, the Madison police department, charges disorderly conduct 50 times more often (it claims) than cops in Milwaukee. To which Blaska Policy Werkes says: GOOD! Well done! Keep it up! In its still shrouded annual report, the OIPM praises Milwaukee for “nearly eliminating disorderly conduct arrests through deliberate policy reform.” As if Madison should emulate Milwaukee, where crime per capita is worse than Chicago! • Milwaukee recorded 4,164 serious crimes per 100,000 population. Madison’s rate of serious crime…

Sex workers are well Hong
Workers of the world, throw off your clothes! For the third straight month, the candidate leading all Democrats in the race for Wisconsin governor remains the one and only Francesca Hong, an out-front socialist like that New York mayor and unlike other Democrats who won’t admit it. John Nichols must be in socialist heaven right now, sharing the blessings with sinner and saint equally, according to their need. Expect a glowing profile in the next number of The Nation, along with a plea to rescue Cuba from capitalism. Mimicking Zohran Mamdani, State Rep. Hong last week introduced the “Wisconsin…

No complaint too trivial
for Madison’s police hall monitor! We have reviewed the first four complaints adjudicated by Madison’s Office of Independent Police Monitor. The Cliff’s Notes summary: Don’t play against OIPM in Trivial Pursuit. The cases included in its still-withdrawn annual report amount to deploying the SWAT team over an expired parking meter. First, a word about the 70-page annual report issued last week and then withdrawn due to the cover art depicting Madison with two state capitols. Aside from the art, produced via artificial stupidity, the body of the report is comprehensive and well written, contrary to other accounts. Ms. Aeiramique…

More Gruff, less UniParty, please
Miss Congeniality is too taxing! “Experience, priorities, and collegiality” — them’s the criteria our favorite Sunday newspaper here in Madison WI used in endorsing candidates vying for the April 7 election in the 13 contested Dane County supervisory districts. May it please the court of public opinion, a little less collegiality, a little more fight club. Collegiality is what got the Madison school board to post referenda for $607 million in new spending. Go With the Flow is how the county faces a $31 million deficit. Kumbaya pays the Independent Police Monitor a six-figure salary to harry the police.…

A disquisition on the amazing Dr. G
the brainiac behind Madison’s police monitor. The last thrilling episode of Madison’s favorite blogge limned the role played by the one constant in the revolving doors of Madison’s independent police monitors, he being Dr. Gregory Gelembiuk. Our favorite Madison morning newspaper quoted him as saying the merest contact with law enforcement is hurtful to the kiddies and that Madison police are picking on youngsters with darker skin 25 times more often than paler faces. Unstated in the latest police monitor’s report (far as we can ascertain) is whether they had it coming — the disprovable imputation being Madison police…

Woke cop-bashing queen story hour
Madison had two capitols! Sometimes one CAN judge a book by its cover. According to the annual report of the city’s latest independent police monitor, Madison has not one but two capitol buildings, within blocks of each other. Sure, the monitor is only four months in town but might she have questioned the likelihood of two identical capitols? Did she even look at the damn thing (since scrubbed from its website)? Mizz Aeiramique Glass apologized (after a fashion), saying she didn’t account for “how much the skyline means to this community.” It’s not the skyline, dear lady, but credibility.…
