  • Yeah, Dane County Board defunded police

    What else would you call at $2,388,000 reduction? Who are you going to believe, the Democratic-endorsed Dane County supervisors claiming they’re not defunding the police or your lying eyes?  Incredibly — as in: you gotta be kidding! — the chairman of the committee overseeing the Sheriff’s Office, Richelle Andrae, denied the county board majority was…

  • Waste, fraud & abuse in local gummint?

    If it’s Woke, look the other way! Elon Musk may be brandishing a chain saw like Leatherface, Madison may pour out by the thousands to protest (as they did Saturday 04-12-25), but it’s amazing what a little poke under the hood can reveal.

Must have been a slow year. In the 18 years since, Madison progressives have extirpated all…

  • Vote for safe neighborhoods

    For all races! We are guessing that more of us read the small-print waivers on those on-line software updates than peruse the Candidate Q&As in our favorite Madison WI morning newspaper. Drop down, maggot, and give me 20! We got an election coming up on April 2! In their own words, candidates answer three questions,…
