In Memoriam
Just received word that Amos Roe, an active member of the Policy Werkes, passed away last night 11-28-2020 of an apparent heart attack. He and Blaska ran for Madison school board last year.
We also mourn the passing of a long-time colleague of ours at The Capital Times, Rosemary Kendrick. We knew Rosemary as the chief of the copy desk. Our friend was 80 years of age. Full Obiturary.
We need better alders!
Run for Madison city council and school board
You need only to file out three brief forms and get 20 signatures to get on the April 6 ballot.
Begin circulating nominating petition December 1; papers due January 5. Alder candidates only need 20 signatures of eligible voters; school board 100. (Get more to be safe.)
All the info is here.
The news media
bias watch
Wisconsin Watch, a 501(c)(3) organization that disseminates news stories to many prominent media outlets statewide and is housed at the taxpayer-funded UW-Madison campus, has taken more than $1 million from an organization founded by George Soros over the years.
Wisconsin Right Now discovered that the group is still prominently pushing out stories by a writer, Howard Hardee, who was dispatched to Wisconsin by a Soros-funded organization to work on “election integrity” stories and projects. — More here.
Nonsense

Hey kids! What time is it? Headline in the current Nation magazine:
IT’S TIME AMERICA ABOLISHED POVERTY
Didn’t LBJ declare war on poverty? Making the Democrat the only President to lose two wars, the other being Vietnam.
Day SIX??? I thought it was SIXTY!

Hold on, guys. I’m on your side. My comment was directed at those of the liberal persuasion. I guess I should have made it more obvious by naming names!

Based on past commentary, Party, The Gotch thought you were a fellow knuckledragging traveler.
Everyone’s a little quick to the trigger of late, but a calming voice in these turbulent times?
None other than Rodney Dangerfield’s Thornton Mellon in the Cult Classic Back To School:

I see the British medical journal, The Lancet, published revised mortality rate data for Covid-19: 0.66%. Still about 6 times worse than the annual flu, but well below the hysteria-inducing 4% previously claimed. What say you, Steve and A-Bob, ready to back off the ledge and admit the lock down isnt needed?
