  • Sure, ‘Something must be done!’ But what?

    A cliché more worthless than ‘thoughts and prayers’ Nineteen children, little innocents ages 7 to 10 — many still believing in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy — gunned down 05-24-22 in Uvalde, Texas. And two adults. Dammit to hell! UPDATE: The shooter targeted a fourth grade classroom.  The President says something must be done.…

  • White moms are easily fooled?

    Is the city intervening in gun litigation?  The Wisconsin State Journal calls them “wedge issues.” What kind of issues? Broadly defined, a wedge issue is that for which the prevailing liberal/progressive orthodoxy has no good answers.

  • Virtue signaling in a hail of bullets

    Damn, he’s good! Cannot do better than quote former mayor Dave Cieslewicz (pronounced exactly as spelled). Also, my North Korean scriveners walked off the job today so I’ve got to poach someone else’s work. Anyhoo, Dave C. writes: Madison is experiencing a record number of shots-fired incidents. City streets and parking lots are littered with shell…

  • If Althea Bernstein led a march …

    … did it really happen? Seriously? Althea Bernstein led a march against racism? (Old-timers will remember when they were called “civil rights marches.”) There she is on the front page of our favorite Madison WI morning newspaper. Leading a “unity” march Sunday 04-18-21. With her own bullhorn! Jussie Smollett wasn’t available? (Maybe he went out…
