  • Sarah is not normal

    All hail Wisconsin’s Greta Thunberg! Platinum subscribers worried about the Head Groundskeeper’s mental health after the April 7 election shellacking can be reassured. Long walks in the UW Arboretum seem to be helping. We’re eating solid food again and Blaska is allowed to be near sharp objects (but not CNN). We’re actually optimistic about Republican…

  • Give Rep. Hong a 20-second hug

    She writes bills that never pass! Former governor Scott McCallum was right: there’s too much government. Our dwindling press corps is at pains to report all the doings of federal, state, county, and city legislators. Rep. Francesca Hong, D-Madison, is an exception. She can thank John Nichols, whose indefatigable flacking has vaulted his fellow socialist…

  • We’re hanging with Hong

    Our best hope to elect a Republican governor! We gave up on the Badger basketballers Wednesday night.

We missed “fifth-year guard” Nick Boyd draining a two-pointer with one second before intermission. Our men in shorts continued…

  • Zohran Mamdani for WI governor!

    Capital Times doubles down on Wokery! We doubt Wisconsin Democrats are so thirsty as to drink The Capital Times’ Kool Aid. But who knows? Madison’s progressive voice demands (they use the word “must”) the party’s next nominee “must embody progressive values.” Must if they want to lose.  Their poster child is State Rep. Francesca Hong,…

  • This blog is a sticky mess

    not of pottage but odds & ends. Showers again today in southern Wisconsin. Hope they continue in Milwaukee’s ballpark. Andrew Vaughn knows how to take a Gatorade shower, cups and all. Well deserved after clubbing that grand slam home run to put the Brewers up 9 to 3 over the Chicago Cubs Tuesday. Vaughn is…
