  • Despite the fires, blockades, and intimidation — Corey Ruiz zone was ‘largely peaceful’

    Defund the Police mob doesn’t want details. Should have known better. The Head Groundskeeper asked our favorite morning Madison newspaper to commend the mayor for shutting down the lawless Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone. Still waiting. Instead, newspaper editor Kelly Lecker almost revels in her editorial cowardice, bragging that her newspaper refused to even publish photographs…

  • Burning down the town for peace

    Madison’s police monitor promises to ‘f-ing burn this city down!’ It’s a political Rorschach test here in Madison WI. Irresponsible or understandable?

    ‘Burn this city down!’ — Madison’s Independent Police Monitor Great thing about electronic message boards: they can be rewritten with a few keystrokes. Driving in at 8 this morning, CSN&Y’s “Woodstock” on the tunes, two electronic signs proclaimed that Madison’s Willy Street was open for bidness. When it’s not closed. The mob had shut it…

  • Thank you, Mayor Satya

    Brenda Konkel says she has ‘no words.’  Blaska on the other hand, has two words: THANK YOU! Most welcome news this Tuesday morning. At daybreak this morning, the mayor of Madison WI sent in two of the surest and strongest forces of civilization — namely, police and garbage trucks — to reclaim its streets from…
