  • 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…

  • Blaska’s ballot looks like this:

    Garbage in, garbage out! Unlike The Washington Post — or Amazon.com for that matter — Blaska Policy Werkes endorses candidates. In many cases, we help the candidates we support by endorsing their opponents. The old switcheroo, as KC Chiefs Coach Andy Reid might say. Donald Segretti would be proud. Donald Trump riding a garbage truck…
