  • Madison alder races shaping up wet and wild

    A comeback for Marsha Rummel and Nino Amato? If The Werkes were conspiratorially minded, we would wonder why two of the Madison Common Council’s few moderate (not conservative!) alders were being moved into new districts. If our tinfoil hat didn’t already pinch, we’d also note that both Sheri Carter and Barbara Harrington McKinney face hard-left…

  • Madison council president picks anti-cop leadership

This campaign lit piece hit mailboxes this week as an independent expenditure from Madison Area Builders…

  • Dave Cieslewicz goes rogue

    “Critical race theory is ‘nonsense posing as wisdom.’” Damn! Dave Cieslewicz is just killing it over at his blog. (No wonder the armadillos are dead.) In today’s installment, he deconstructs the faith-based progressive dogma of Critical Race Theory.  Not just a theory in the Emerald City. The governance of our city, county, and public schools…
