Wisconsin needed that!
Politics? Schmolitics! Mighty Casey has hit a line drive up the middle! We don’t mind living vicariously as long as our teams win and win they most certainly did over that just concluded, only-in-Wisconsin beautiful fall weekend of October 3-4. First, the Wisconsin men’s football Badgers looked like Barry Alvarez was prowling the sidelines Saturday…

Tiffany and Crowley walk a tightrope
Their friends are keeping the candidates awake at night. Poor old Warren Harding, plagued by the Teapot Dome and other scandals, said his enemies he could deal with. It was his friends who kept him walking the floor at night. The two gents running for governor of Wisconsin could sympathize. The last thing Tom Tiffany…

Competition made America great
If the Brewers can compete why can’t our schools? State school boss Jill Underly in her annual State of Education address last week asked Wisconsin voters to cough up more tax dollars and while we’re at it, stamp out competition to the government school monopoly. Because (the part she didn’t say), public schools can’t compete.…

Nothing but nuisance today
How dare anyone complain! Harassment and intimidation are how social justice warriors (with the tacit permission of the local Democrat(ic) and Progressive Dane political parties) defunded school resource police officers. We’re waiting for the Democrats’ denunciation of the Corey Ruiz Autonomous Zone. Former alder Brenda Konkel, until recently co-chair of Progressive Dane, is currently executive…

County to fund Corey Ruiz memorial?
Simply unbelievable! That didn’t take long. The peaceful bliss created by a news-free Maine vacation has evaporated like the latest Iran peace plan. Dane County WI supervisors are considering tapping the taxpayer for $25,000 to design and erect a Corey Ruiz memorial on Willy Street. A memorial to a career criminal! In a city where…

We went to Maine
A real palate cleansing! Took a much needed news break these last five days in the state of Maine, which is a lot like northern Wisconsin but with lobster. Our homey, cedar-shingled inn on the southern tip of the island that hosts Acadia National Park had no CNN, Fox, or PBS — no TV…

Zohran Mamdani’s moral obscenity
“Hamas didn’t just kill its victims in pursuit of a strategic objective. It tormented and slaughtered them like an army of serial killers who delight in the suffering of their victims. Corpses of Israeli women were described by one coroner as “shot in the crotch, intimate parts, vagina, or were shot in the breast.” Others appeared to have been raped so violently that their pelvises were broken. Parents were killed in front of their children; children were murdered in their beds. …
“It is obscene because, whatever else you may think of the war in Gaza, on the eve of Oct. 7 the border of Israel and Gaza was governed by a cease-fire. It was Hamas that chose to kick off the violence, just as the Japanese did in 1941 with the attack on Pearl Harbor. …
“It is obscene because Hamas’s intentions toward Israel really are genocidal. ….
“Finally, it is obscene because Mamdani is the mayor for about one million Jewish New Yorkers … who deserve better on a day of grief than to be offered the equivalent of an “All Lives Matter” homily.” —Bret Stephens, NY Times
She had it coming?
After the President called Marjorie Taylor Greene a “traitor,” of the torrent of threats that followed, one stood out. It was aimed at her son.
Ms. Greene reached out to Mr. Trump, hoping for compassion from a president she had stood by for years. She forwarded copies of the threats to him, hoping that seeing the threats against her family would be enough to tone down the attacks.
She got a five-word reply from President Trump: “Your fault, you deserve it.” — New York Times
“Could this be a wave that takes the House, or a tsunami that takes the Senate, or an asteroid that just cleans out the party?” asked Matthew Bartlett, a Republican strategist and former Trump appointee. “We will see, but the polling and the feelings — nothing is good right now.” — Wall Street Journal 10-10-26
Today’s Laff Riot!
France insists that what is happening there these days is not a riot. The “Riot” appellation can only be used if it is from the Riot (“ree-OTE”) region. What is happening is properly called a sparkling social discontent.
