David Prosser blames Shirley Abrahamson for him calling her a “b–ch”

In announcing their endorsement of Justice David Prosser for another term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the folks over at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel cited Prosser’s “even temperament” as part of their rationale for their endorsement.

However, while the folks from the Journal Sentinel editorial board may think Justice Prosser possesses an “even temperament,” he’s [...]

“Just a bit of a cut”

As I’ve been surfing the intertubes catching up on what I missed during my “vacation,” I came across this nugget from a conservative blogger: Paying a bit more for health insurance and contributing to their own retirement does not exactly go to this level of rhetoric.

That got me to thinking….who would consider a $350 [...]

Recall signature gatherers attacked, signatures stolen

It’s common to hear many on the right refer to union members who dare to exercise their Constitutionally-protected first amendment rights to free speech and assembly as “union thugs” and “goons,” as if the right would never dare resort

On Saturday, March 19, two individuals were gathering signatures in support of the recall effort against [...]

The real deal….

In the craziness of the last month, there has been so much (good and bad) happening that it is impossible to catch it all. I had caught bits and pieces of this speech, but here is Wisconsin farmer Tony Schultz in its entirety.

One quick note: having grown up on a beef and pork [...]

He would love to hear from you!

As part of JB’s appeal:

Group seeks forest restoration through cloning trees

This is a cool story… Redwoods and sequoias towering majestically over California’s northern coast. Oaks up to 1,000 years old nestled in a secluded corner of Ireland. The legendary cedars of Lebanon.

They are among the most iconic trees on Earth, remnants of once-vast populations decimated by logging, development, pollution and disease. A nonprofit organization [...]

Randy Hopper hires veteran GOP operative to run which campaign?

Apparently embattled (and that’s putting it mildly) Republican State Senator Randy “bed” Hopper isn’t going to give up the seat he holds without a fight, as he has hired a veteran Republican operative as his campaign manager, Jeff Harvey, a veteran of Republican campaigns, most recently worked on the election of Republican Congressman Dave Reichert [...]

You can tell a lot about Jeff Stone by the company he keeps

I’ve always believed you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep, and that’s especially true in the case of Republican Milwaukee County Executive candidate Jeff Stone.

Stone’s ties to Gov. Scott Walker are long and deep, with Stone promising to “lead” Milwaukee County (I use the word lead very loosely) [...]

Valerie Cass lands a sweet state job

You may remember Republican operative Valerie Cass as the “other woman” in Republican State Senator Randy Hopper’s life. Until recently (March 11, 2011 to be exact) Cass was working for Persuasion Partners Inc., a Republican political consulting firm run by Darrin Schmitz, but since her departure from Persuasion Partners, Cass has definitely landed on her [...]
