Month: September 2007

In the 2006 elections, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and the Assembly Democratic Campaign Committee were pretty proud of the fact that they had candidates in almost all of the 99 Assembly races, but I couldn’t help but notice one race that had an unopposed Republican incumbent. That race happened…

It’s well established I’m no fan of Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker and that I think he’s done a horrible job of managing Milwaukee County during his time in office. Recently, I happened upon an entry by capper over at folkbum’s rambles and rants lamenting the current state of our…

Just last week, fellow blogger Dan Cody announced he’s going to challenge incumbent Lynne DeBruin for her seat on the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors representing the 15th district.

In…

Who can forget the case of Scott Jensen, former Speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly who was convicted of three felonies? I haven’t forgotten, and I haven’t forgotten the fact that despite being convicted in May of 2006 to serve 15 months in Wisconsin State Prison for his three felony…

So according to my pal Kevin, who’s currently in China on business, BloggingBlue.com is banned by Chinese censorship. I don’t know what I did to deserve censorship, but whatever it is, I’m going to keep doing it.
