Thoughts On President Trump’s Response To Syria’s Use of Chemical Weapons
After launching 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian airfield in retaliation for the Syria’s use of chemical weapons against civilians, President Trump said he was moved by the pictures of those killed…particularly the children and the babies.

I appreciate that he was moved at the sight of the dead and wounded. I have to […]
Where Are All of the Women In Wisconsin Politics
Last week I saw a post on Facebook stating that a station in Madison had aired a segment stating 75% of the town boards in Wisconsin lacked even a single woman. Today Politifact in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reviewed that statement and found it to be true.
To balance a program that included an […]
Now George W Bush Decides to Get All Statesmanly
In an appearance on the Today Show, President George W. Bush decides to show his elder statesman chops:
“I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy,” Bush said in a “Today” show interview Monday morning. “We need an independent media to hold people like me to account. Power can be very addictive and […]
Greetings!
I am very excited to join the Blogging Blue community and look forward to using this as an opportunity to communicate with all of you. When Ed invited me, my first question was “Can I write about women’s issues?” I’m glad he said “Yes”.

The New York Times and The Washington Post Fight Back
For the first time in forever, the New York Times purchased ad time on the Oscars Telecast:

On Being: Krista Tippett’s Interview of John Lewis.
Instead of wasting your time on the president’s press conference, a better way to spend your Sunday afternoon would be listening to On Being’s host, Krista Tippet, interview Congressman John Lewis:
We take in the extraordinary wisdom of Congressman John Lewis on what happened in Selma on Bloody Sunday and beyond — and how it […]
President Donald Trump tweeted “It is a disgrace that my full Cabinet is still not in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country.”
Well…he hasn’t even hit a month in office yet. Meanwhile:
First, on the subject of “no” votes, Obama’s cabinet nominees faced more than […]
By now we have all digested the nonsense ‘alternative fact’ from President Trump about the media underreporting or just not reporting on terrorist attacks. And how simple it was to debunk. And how the White House quickly and easily provided a list of 78 examples and how simple they were to debunk. We all […]
Mitch McConnell Made His Bed
…and now he has to lie in it.
Normally I would support the premise that a newly elected president should be able to name his (historically accurate) own cabinet and advisers and have them confirmed within a reasonable amount of time: after a fair but thorough confirmation hearing in the senate. Cabinet appointments are very […]
Walker Jumps On the Gorsuch Bandwagon and Adopts the GOP Hypocrisy In Total
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has taken the lead in supporting President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil Gorsuch. Ok, so that’s not much of a surprise…but here is what he had to say:
In an email to Republican supporters Wednesday, Walker praised Gorsuch, calling him “widely respected by legal scholars on both sides […]
