‘Hey Johnny, what are you resisting?‘
‘Whaddaya got?’
It is a Monday in Madison WI with no fresh newsprint. Feel like Jack Lemmon rummaging through the greenhouse in Days of Wine & Roses.
Derrick Henry & Co. ran right through the broken heart of the Packers porous defense for 307 yards like too-many Brandi(es) Grayson through a forest of no-parking cones. Neither Micah Parsons nor Monona Police employing tire deflation devices could have stopped the Ravens. Need a 600-pound Refrigerator Perry to clog up the middle like a ball of turkey grease in the In-Sink-Erator.
Social media is calling for the head of Coach Lafleur. Couch Potato Nation demands trading Jordan Love for draft picks. Run slippery handed Bo Melton out of town. Piffle! Band aids. Ol’ Sparkie, our Eisenhower-era mainframe computer, says the Packers will never reach the Super Bowl until it gets new ownership. Make me an offer.
Brother in Sonoma County, California, says anti-Trump, Gavin Newsom types like himself are affixing resistors to their clothing — actual electronic circuit resistors.
The resistance movement, under the aegis of Wake Up Sonoma, claims the Poles wore these behind the Iron Curtain during periods of martial law. Question from Flyover Country, do you really need to go underground in bright-blue California? Speaking of resistance:
Back-dooring the judge
The Head Groundskeeper derives much entertainment from watching defenders defend the indefensible. Which is why we read The Capital Times. (It’s in our job description.)
The voice of progressivism cheers Judge Hannah Dugan for aiding and abetting the attempted escape from justice an illegal alien and accused batterer. Ushered the offender out the back door of her Milwaukee courtroom because She Didn’t Like the Law! (I.C.E. agents waiting in the hallway were never going to “disrupt” her courtroom, guys!) And here we thought the Constitution said something about separation of powers! Silly rabbit!
At several points in its gymnastic floor exercise (can’t they for once leave old Fighting Bob Rot In Peace?), The CT avers:
This is not to say that Dugan dotted every “i” and crossed every “t,” as we would have liked to have seen in the case that led to her arrest. — The Capital Times
Which makes one wonder what kind of injudicious penmanship, exactly, the progressive editors did like to see. Missed a step in the Trump resistance manual, did Judge Dugan? Should have disguised the illegal alien in one of her size XXL robes, complete with fake nose, mustache and glasses?
‘This should be Wisconsin’
Our aunt Burdette, a captain in the U.S. Navy, gifted a little boy on a farm in Sun Prairie a puzzle that consisted of the then-48 states. (Alaska, Hawaii, and Greenland had yet to be admitted.) Ran to mother wondering how the little speck in our grimy fist could be a state. She explained the mysteries of Rhode Island, related a little colonial history (pre-Ken Burns). Said life wasn’t fair. Fascinated with maps ever since. Possess a full set of topographic maps for each of the 35 geographic townships that comprise Dane County.
Wondering now how the plastic puzzle of states handled the Upper Peninsula. Did it come attached to Wisconsin? An outfit named “Brilliant Maps,” apparently composed of obsessive compulsive cartographers (SHUDDER!), has redrawn the map of the U.S.A. in time for its 250th birthday.
The late Col. Tim Donovan, the Venerable Meade, the dear departed Rick Berg, and Blaska his own self devised a plan to reclaim the U.P. for its rightful owner. (Some assembly required.) Will sell to the first Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate who sends $2.95 and a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: Nobody asked Yoopers whether they wanted to root for Lions instead of Packers. Give everyone up there a resistor! Better yet, California, send them to Ukraine!

If Jacques Clouseau and his Green Bay Butchers can’t cut up a wounded Raven, they ain’t going to a have meat wrapper’s chance of filleting an angry black Bear. Pull the plug now and bring in a Napoleon Bone-a- crusher, wishy washy isn’t going to cut it in this Darwinian world.
Are you named after an obscure celestial object?
Celestial object? Could be funny mushrooms…
Eta Carinae.
I find that Eta Carinae is a binary star system. Maybe it’s time you phoned home, pioneering. 🌟
Just when you thought progressives couldn’t be any stupider– wearing resistors as part of the resistance? Good god! I hope judge Dugan goes to jail. Make an example of her. No one is above the law (right Liesak and Anonymous?).
Funny how the defenders of the rogue judge blithely ignore her failure to cross every t and dot every i but emit squeals of outrage when some illegal alien with a rap sheet as long as your arm is deported without every i being dotted and every t crossed. Would there were enough room on this prestigious blog to chronicle the hypocrisy of progressives.
I resisted getting Peacock for the Packer game, instead opting for old fashioned radio. ”Twas a refreshing experience as the announcers knew the packers were doomed. No attempt to hype the game as the tv guys do.
Wish there was a device to slow down the radio feed to match the visuals on TV. Perhaps a RESISTOR would work?
