Wisconsin GOP Honors The Memory of Merrick Garland!
As most of you remember Merrick Garland was the very qualified jurist that President Obama nominated to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. But the obstructionist Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested that tradition prevented him from considering the nomination in the Senate and that the next president instead should have the right to select […]
Earlier this week I sent emails to Governor Scott Walker, Speaker Robin Vos, and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald suggesting in some of my ‘best words’ to call off the power grab they were working on.

Party Barns, Beer Barons, and the State of Wisconsin
Ok…this seems like a pretty trivial issue but it has been getting a ton of press in Wisconsin. And maybe it’s a subterfuge to the heinous acts under consideration by the GOP for their December 2018 lame duck session in Madison…but let’s take a peek!
For those of you who aren’t aware of the trend […]
President Trump Apparently Has A New Definition of Decorum
for the record:
de·co·rum /dəˈkôrəm/ noun behavior in keeping with good taste and propriety:
