How can we solve Wisconsin’s redistricting mess? There’s two easy steps!

I Heart Utah

Utah, One of the absolute "reddest states" in our nation:

Utahns are not people of moderation. Instead of having two kids, we have five or six. Instead of having two or three drinks a week, we prefer a lifetime of abstinence. Instead of buying a flashlight, we prefer to store a month’s worth [...]

Walker vs. Falk, by the numbers

Kevin Binversie’s feeble provocation in todays ” Lakeshore Laments ” is probably funny to everyone but his former English teacher. ” Let the Wailing and Mashing of Teeth Begin” writes Binversie. What?

It’s potatoes that get mashed, Kevin. Teeth get gnashed.
