Searching for its identity, Democrats should lose identity politics
Maybe, deep down, he’s still that ethnic Catholic-Polish kid who grew up on Milwaukee’s blue collar south side. Because every once in awhile, former Madison mayor Dave Cieslewicz makes a lot of sense. How many Madison liberals, progressives, and socialists go gunning for Bambi in Wisconsin’s deep north woods? Mayor Dave does. Now Cieslewicz (pronounced just…

What is wrong with these people?
Time to “out” the eight members of the City of Madison Common Council who voted Tuesday (02-07-17) in favor of panhandling on the median strips of our busy city streets. These eight Madison alders got suckered by the scam artists who claim to be homeless, destitute, and desperate but are none of the above. These eight elected…

Blaska tried to save Madison taxpayers $16 million — but no-ooo!
You are most welcome. The Lord High Commissioner of the Blaska Policy Werkes tried to save Madison taxpayers $16 million.

Did anyone catch the Super Bowl? How was it?
How many Super Bowls have been absolute bores? This one depleted the Stately Manor’s bin of superlatives.

Relentless Brewers edge closer to World Series glory
“Ueck has two statues at the park: one outside where fans leave empty beer cans as tribute, and another inside, in the thin air of the upper deck, a nod to those Miller Lite commercials in which Ueck got marooned in the nosebleeds. This was Ueck’s ball club as much as anyone’s. Yount underlined it before for Game 1, when he walked out for the first pitch wearing one of Uecker’s glorious car-salesman plaid blazers.” — Jason Gay, Wall Street Journal
Today’s Laff Riot!
If anyone else had been picked for MVP, Wm Contreras would have tapped his helmet until ABS got it right.
Just saw a kid with a shirt that says “2/3 of the earth is covered with water. The other third is covered by Sal Frelich.”
