WI GOP Can’t be Trusted

Fresh news from this afternoon.  No, Republicans in Wisconsin can’t be trusted even to live up to a contract.  From the Journal Sentinel:

Over the objections of Gov. Scott Walker’s administration, a key legislative committee voted Wednesday against building a new train maintenance base – a decision that officials warned could mean mothballing two brand-new trains and [...]

Republicans Offer Contraceptive Care to Horses. Human Women? Not so Much

Yes, Republicans, led by Dan Burton of Indiana, are willing to pay for contraception for horses, but are unwilling to even let a woman testify in a hearing about contraception for women.  That is the state of the Republican Party today, that they respect horses more than they do women. 

Here in Wisconsin we are [...]

Michigan Seems Like Obama’s Dream

Michigan holds its GOP primary at the end of this month, and if it were held right now it would be Mitt Romney’s nightmare.  Romney, who calls himself a “son of Detroit,” and who went to school at the elite Cranbrook Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, has is having a tough go in the state where he [...]

Paul Ryan: Fiscal Conservative FAIL

On the issue of contraceptive coverage in insurance plans, there is certainly a hue and cry.  Catholic Bishops are whining that their missions are threatened, despite the facts that so many Catholic hospitals and university s already provide contraceptive care in their insurance plans.  Oh woe, Republicans like Paul Ryan say!  This is an attack [...]

Karen Handel Bent on Further Destruction of the Komen Brand

I wrote last Thursday that the worst result of the underhanded intrigues at the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation was the harm that occured to the Komen Brand.  Once one of the most respected and popular nonprofits in the nation, the powers that be at Komen decided through intrigue and deception to defund [...]

The “Cure” for the Susan G. Komen Foundation

Certainly the Susan G. Komen Foundation has apologized today, but it appears it is a nonapology apology, as we usually see in the political arena, especially from those on the right wing.  They’re sorry they got caught, but they promised to continue to fund the Planned Parenthood grant they already promised to fund, and as [...]

Stark Contrast of Leadership: Obama v. Walker

While Barack Obama was giving his State of the Union speech this week, he calmly hid the knowledge that he had ordered a successful raid by Seal Team Six to rescue hostages in Somalia.  Mr. Obama never batted an eye.  From the Washington Post:

Publicly, Obama did not tip his hand during his [...]

State of the GOP: Santorum is the Voice of Reason

Santorum is the man who urged Congress to do all in its power to revive a braindead Terry Schiavo in 2005.  He was a whackjob trampling on individual rights.  He promptly lost his Senate seat by record margins, in a fetid cloud of Santorum.  But this is where the GOP Presidential race is today.  Yes, [...]

Tonight’s GOP Presidential Debate will be Newterrific!

Alas, I think it is the GOP which will end up newtered.  Certainly the debate is going to be entertaining reality television like nothing Donald Trump ever envisioned.  It used to be a grand old party, but it is embracing the devil now. . .

The Latest Reality Show

This is the webcam at the Government Accountability Board Office where they are reviewing recall petitions.  So far nobody has jumped up and down to show a signature of Mickey Mouse to a friend, though the woman with the dyed black hair was making eyes at Kevin Kennedy about 9:00 pm on Thursday night.  The [...]
