  • Have our politics become deadly?

    or just an excuse for hate? The former downtown Madison hotel employee accused of killing her co-worker in a parking ramp on W. Washington Ave. Sunday 03-22-26 blamed that co-worker for getting her fired. That, if one may speculate on a live criminal case (and what is to stop us!) appears to be the primary…

  • Keeping an uncivil tongue

    When others go low, he goes for the family jewels. President Trump says he is bypassing this year’s Super Bowl being played on the West Coast — too far to go, says the man on Air Force One. A shame because even violent sports like football demand fair play.

Now Mayor Satya wants to fly the Ho Chunk flag at city hall at equal height with the U.S. flag. The stolen land…

  • Is Madison ready to quit the crazy?

    We hear things! Ran into Mike Verveer at Bob Keller’s funeral a week ago at Bethel Lutheran Church. Mike is by far Madison’s longest-serving alder — 30 years! We asked if the Council would finally pull the plug on the do-nothing Independent Police Monitor and its anti-cop Police Civilian Oversight Board. He thought maybe one…
