  • Are we not supposed to fear crime?

    Playing the race card didn’t work for Dukakis, either. Recharged the battery for Blaska’s e-bike last April so maybe this mid-October day, with sunny skies and temps predicted in the upper 60°s F,  it’s time to take it out. Think we’ll start out — wait a second, we’re detecting a dog whistle!   Yes, definitely, a…

  • Mandela v. RoJo — who won?

    We’re one month out from the mid-term election! You-know-what is starting to get real! A few quick thoughts on Friday night’s Senate candidates’ debate between Mandela Barnes and Ron Johnson.

(No, in-person absentee voting cannot begin until two weeks before Election Day 11-08-22.) Madison’s newspaper of record is going with appointed incumbent Kalvin…

  • Opening this sanctuary blogge even to progressives!

    and Mandela Barnes is tough on endorsements! Yikes! Forgot that September 14 was our 48th wedding anniversary! I blame sudden-onset senility compounded by the week your congenial host wore a coronavirus face mask in April 2020. To make up for it, presented the Lovely Lisa a patio end table on which to place her afternoon…
