  • Signs of the times

    We believe we are royally screwed. In a few weeks political yard signs will sprout like dandelions on a No Mow lawn in progressive Madison — alongside the ubiquitous “In This House We Believe …” signs. (Notice? God is never among the listed.) Candidates who take Blaska’s advice do so at their own peril but…

  • There ain’t no ‘UniParty’ in Madison, you fascist!

    Don’t believe your lyin’ eyes! Back when Ali Muldrow was still speaking to us, shortly after defeating Blaska for Madison school board, she invited her vanquished opponent to dine with her at an isthmus boîte frequented by other socialists like John Nichols and Mayor Satya’s chief of staff. Ali, a young black woman, seemed genuinely…

  • ‘Victimhood is not liberation’

    Guilty white progressives teach blame, not phonics. Monday, January 19, we honor America’s historic struggle for civil rights and human dignity. We do so in the name of Martin Luther King Jr. Blaska admires the guy for his courage as much as for his noble cause. (Great wordsmith, too!) History records many allies — some…

  • The Capital Times IS ‘the far left’

Same reason Mossad keeps track of Hamas. Publisher Fanlund is smarting from the white-hot blowback from property taxpayers over their city and school tax bills (which…

  • Can Madison WI afford to be any more progressive?

    WANTED: ‘social & economic justice’ for taxpayers! In a few months, The Capital Times will encourage voters to elect progressives to local political office. We know this from bitter experience. • As in March 2021, it announced “endorsements for a strong, progressive city council.” • The next year, it recommended 13 “Progressive voices for April voters.”…

  • Thank you, Monona police, for chasing the bad guys

    Madison defunds police by other means. The indentured servants here in the Orchard Ridge neighborhood wish to thank Police Chief Brian Chaney for keeping us safe. We do so although he is not our chief of police but runs the cop shop over at the City of Monona. We do so to assure Chief Chaney…
