An open letter to Sheriff David Clarke: Dude, get some help!
Dude, with all due respect, you’re a disgrace to law enforcement all over the country. Cheer up, snowflake? Really? The official Facebook page of the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department reads like a Christmas card from Tony Soprano?
And then you tell a gang of so-called alt-righters that you’d only reach across the […]
25 years ago I was involved in the Prairie Island Coalition Against Nuclear Storage, fighting to stop the storage of nclear waste on the Prairie Island reservation on an island in the Mississippi River. I was also working for the Ho-Chunk Nation at the time in the La Crosse area, and had befriended a tribal […]
I don’t know who these guys are, but do they ever nail this Leonard Cohen classic. Wow.
I know, it sounds a bit harsh. Maybe more than a bit harsh. I can understand how people might react with horror to a denunciation of Santa Claus this strong, this resolute, this final. Death to Santa.

If you were hoping for a reasoned, sensible self reflection from the Clinton camp about why they lost to Donald trump last week, don’t hold your breath.
Former Clinton campaign director of communications outreach, Jess McIntosoh, told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Monday night that it was ” internalized misogyny ” that compelled so many white, […]

A Tale of Two Rons
Ron Johnson has repeatedly criticized Russ Feingold for Feingold’s opposition to the Trans Pacific Partnership, saying that he doesn’t know how Feingold could have opposed it before he even read it. Holy cow! Rojo sounds just like Ron Kind!
At a February 2016 listening session in Eau Claire, Kind was challenged by a Buchholz […]
