  • Meeka’s people claim their first pelt

    Mayor Satya bows out! Satya Rhodes Conway announced today that she is withdrawing as a candidate for re-election as mayor of Madison WI. Too bad, because her surrender will embolden social justice warriors; they will claim her scalp as their prize. Forget, for a moment, Satya’s rapid bus system. (The jury is still out.) Her…

  • The Blaschurian candidate

    Haven’t we tried enough progressivism? “I’ve heard rumors you are running for mayor,” Bonnie Roe told the proprietor of the Policy Werkes.

Glad to do it, pal! Satya, baby, yer lookin’ good! Ready to make some history? Give ’em both barrels, the full nine…

  • There will be blood

    Corey Ruiz is not the cause; he’s a means to an end. Our Platinum Subscribers know why Madison police, uniquely among large police agencies, are not equipped with body-worn cameras. “The Community,” as the chronically aggrieved describe themselves, does not want to see what the police officer sees on the job, is why. Because “The…
