  • WI Democrats go slumming in farm country

    Rural voters don’t want more free stuff It was the moment the lifeless body of a 1,500-pound steer was hoisted in the air, blood pouring from its neck, that Mandela Barnes knew he was a long way from his comfort zone. Born and raised in Milwaukee, Barnes’ political upbringing is intertwined with Wisconsin’s urban heart,…

  • The Republican swamp is getting crowded

    Who ya’ calling a weasel? Virtually every Republican on the ballot is running against Washington or, if they’re a candidate for state office here in Wisconsin, they’re running against Madison.

Angry black racist Frank James pinned perceived injustices to his cork board like butterflies, whether the…

  • Taking the cure (or curse?) at Mar-a-Lago

    The (mixed] blessing! Is Mar-a-Lago the Santiago de Compostela of Republicans? Make the journey, fondle the bones, get the blessing? Returning from a pilgrimage to that principality, Tommy Thompson tells the Werkes that the former President anointed him as the only Republican who can beat Tony Evers this November. Duh! That’s like betting the Harlem…
