  • Making sense of Tuesday’s elections

    We can’t, can you? Blaska’s attempt to get back in line to cast a second ballot at Madison’s Toki middle school was foiled by alert poll workers. The result: we voted early but not often. We’re still trying to understand Tuesday’s 08-13-24 primary election results. Ol’ Sparky, our Eisenhower-era mainframe computer, could make no more…

  • Let’s elect a crazy man for President

    He’s cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! Our Facebook feed is full of photographs from MAGA nation proving — proving, mind you — that Democrats are photoshopping Kamala/Walz crowd sizes.

When the Head Groundskeeper burrowed into his crib around 10:30 CST in order to make bed check at Stately Blaska Manor, Donald Trump was still riffing off the Teleprompter like Jerry Lewis during his all-night muscular dystrophy telethons. We get that political figures can’t keep every promise. But…

  • Finally, some justice for Trump

    Jim Justice, that is, and his ugly dog! The VHF and UHF dials on the Stately Manor’s b&w Philco spun merrily Tuesday night as the indentured servants scanned the dizzying array of speakers for Day Two of the Republican National Convention just up the road in Milwaukee WI. We’ve attended two Republican national political conventions,…
