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. It was the best-est and the Squire watched the very first one when St. Vince patrolled the sidelines in overcoat and fedora 50 years ago. Had vowed to skip it. We hate New England here at the Manor…

Joe McCarthy lives (and plays the race card in Madison politics)!
It is scoundrel time in Madison, WI. A certain alderman, an elected official, one Dave Ahrens by name, is aggressively playing the race card. Couple that with some old fashioned guilt by association via three degrees of separation and you have the modern Madison anti-police state. “How can a non-racist candidate be Trump supporter?” Ahrens…

Liberal fascists are re-electing Trump
Our liberal-progressive-socialist acquaintances are populating their on-line social networks and protest marches with Hitler/Trump references. But, so far as we know, neither Trump nor his supporters have injured police, smashed windows, burned automobiles, or shut down anyone’s free speech. The unhinged Left is intent on converting more Americans to Trump. What happened Wednesday night on…

I support that effort. However, I am deeply troubled and concerned by the introduction of one…

Democrats aren’t brain dead; it’s got to be the maps!
The chin scratchers at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel are pacing the floor at night. They’re losing sleep over the parlous condition of a close friend and ally: the Democrat(ic) party. “When will Wisconsin Democrats wake up?” laments Milw J-S editorial page editor David D. Haynes. No doubt Haynes would have added a “When, oh, when?”…

What a parade!
750,000 fans! Maybe the largest gathering in state history!
“This was the happiest human traffic jam in the city’s history.” (Quote)
Manager Pat Murphy, age 67, brought up the rear of the parade sitting on a lawn chair with his young kids. It was a long parade. “I had to pee.”
Robin Yount, just like he did at a rally after the parade in 1982, rode in on a motorcycle. It was Bob Uecker’s Harley-Davidson.
