  • Free money from Uncle Foolish in Washington?

    Faster, pussycat! Faster! Cause, meet effect. The City of Madison is hurtling toward a $27 million ask on the November referendum ballot. We’re told it would raise property taxes an average $284 on the average stately manor. The school district is on track for a $600 million spending referenda. Our guess is that famously blue…

  • We don’t trust the science

    Do not take the politics out of politics! Let’s cut Anthony Fauci some slack. The good man was wrong about a lot of things — masking, six-feet separation, closing schools, and the Wuhan lab among them. (Other than that, what’s left?)

Here’s a better example: A liberal environmentalist and near-West side Biden…

  • Suicide? Lost learning? Thank the teachers union

    We’re not startled! “The startling evidence on learning loss is in” the New York Times exclaimed last week in an editorial reprinted in today’s WI State Journal. The cause: shutting down K-12 schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic hysteria. “As the Times has finally acknowledged,” National Review observes: An estimated 6.5 million more students became…
