  • We monitor the police monitor

    for Schlitz and giggles because you can’t kill it! Beginning to think the only reason Madison’s Independent Police Monitor survives like Rasputin after being poisoned, stabbed, and drowned is because throwbacks like Blaska keep trashing it. (We earned our paranoia.) But here comes Madison’s latest (we’ve lost count) police monitor hire, Aeiramique Glass Blake —…

  • Were Democrats blinded by the light?

    Mesmerized by the Marxist Mamdani mirage. Being tormented again today by gorgeous photographs of the Northern Lights populating our social media feed.

Think of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Hoover Dam, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Wisconsin’s own beaux arts…

  • Madison police monitor cries fascism

    urges even more resistance to immigration law! Abraham Lincoln was wrong when he predicted that the world would little note nor long remember that speech he delivered on an exhausted battlefield on that day of memorial. Madison WI has noted not at all the musings of one Robin Copley. But in commemoration of the five-year…
