The Capital Times IS ‘the far left’
Never reticent and probably none the wiser. We read Paul Fanlund and The Capital Times because he and it are responsible for much of the goofiness in Madison-area politics. 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 averaged an 11.2% increase), including his own. Paul is also vexed by Mayor Satya’s mission to sprout apartment complexes like No Mow dandelions — mandated number of units reserved for renters of a specified degree of poverty. (Likely caused by high taxes.) “Affordability” is…

Be careful with those Trump $100 bills
Do NOT use them to buy lottery tickets in Mt. Horeb WI! The faceless bureaucrats here at The Werkes have not forgotten the two scamps who seemed to have quite enjoyed their night on the town back on 12-19-25. Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne, on the other hand, appears to have done just that. Two weeks and four days later, charges have yet to be filed against two of Madison’s most progressive role models. Madison police wrote up Brandi Grayson-Tuck on three counts of disorderly conduct and one of drunk driving. Mizz Brandi is the generously paid CEO of…

The Big Lie is 5 years old
still no arrests for stealing the election? Tuesday is the five-year anniversary. January 6 is a date that many of my non-RINO Republicans would rather sweep down the memory hole. The more delusional, subconsciously shamed by that abortive insurrection, concoct grassy knoll scenarios to shift blame and exonerate the guilty. Trump, so the theory goes, was robbed by Deep State Democrats and also by RINO Republicans who, inexplicably, wanted Joe Biden. Through mechanisms as yet undetected, this motley crew was enlisted from states as diverse as Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. All sworn to secrecy. From lowly election workers…

Madison public schools are disproportionately stupid
Racists blame the teachers! Madison’s public schools have a “coordinator for progressive discipline.” Things we never knew, thanks to Chris Rickert, writing for our favorite local morning newspaper. Yes, you with your hand up in the back: Isn’t “Progressive discipline” like saying “peaceful war”? (George Orwell, report to the principal’s office.) In the 10 years since Jennifer Cheatham cursed Madison students with her race-obsessed Behavior Education Plan, “the district hasn’t been able to reduce the ‘stubborn disproportionalities” of black students representing 62% of the students tossed out of school despite comprising 23% of enrollment. If there is anything a Woke…

Wrong guy begins new year with right ideas
You won’t go wrong with this agenda! Hard to believe it is 2026. Still remember the wonderment at the clock turning over to a new millennium, well, 26 years ago. (Still can’t count out Y2K freezing our computers.) In any event, we begin Year 10 of Blaska Policy Werkes with an annual tradition: the Head Groundskeeper’s political agenda for the new year. “This situation requires a really stupid and futile gesture be done on somebody’s part. And Blaska is just the guy to do it.” — after the frat boys in Animal House Platinum-level Subscribers may recognize some agenda…

‘Quality Learing Center’ spells F.R.A.U.D.
Big Gummint giveaways will be a Democrat takeaway This thing has legs — as we used to say in the news business: Somali immigrants grifting a billion dollars of Joe Biden’s Covid-era Big Gummint giveaways under the unwatchful — even winking — eye of Tampon Tim Walz, the biggest fool in Minnesota, Kamala Harris’ punchline of a running mate. The graft — money for meals not served, children not taught, rides not shared, and homeless not sheltered — has been detected in the State of New York, too. As Nick Berenson reports: In 1988, New York had 18 million…

Finally, charges
The vice president of the Madison school board and the CEO of non-profit Urban Triage were charged with misdemeanors on Thursday.
Maia Pearson and Brandi Grayson are both charged with resisting or obstructing an officer and disorderly conduct, online court records show. Both made initial court appearances Thursday morning and were given signature bonds.
The charges stem from a December 2025 incident outside a theater in downtown Madison. Police said Pearson drove over cones into a loading zone and caused a disturbance. She and Grayson allegedly refused to exit the vehicle and had to be removed by officers. — Channel 3000 News
