Let’s play a little game I like to call…. “Who’s that lady?” In this edition of “Who’s that lady?” we’re trying to guess who’s the “lucky lady” driving around with Republican State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald. What we do know is the lady most definitely is NOT Fitzgerald’s wife, but I’d love to hear [...] Yes, it sure is working. Carry on, citizens, nothing to see here. At a time when government jobs statistics are under scrutiny as never before, preliminary data released Thursday showed that Wisconsin lost an estimated 6,200 private-sector jobs in April. April showed the second consecutive month of private-sector job losses in the state, according to [...] Why is Scott Walker smiling? Because he's convinced himself you're too lazy to see through his phony job numbers! I am an interested amateur when it comes to questions of economics.

It was a wonderful book, full of truth and insight and actually made the claim that, no, in fact, both sides don’t do it. Only one side does it. [...] Scott Walker's Updated Job Numbers are like a Shiny New Kopek! And about as valuable! Data has always been putty to be molded by propagandists into informational power. Through the inclusion of irrelevant data or the exclusion of relevant data, these students of Stalin use the data to fabricate a “reality.” They rely on the [...] Heh… “I’m for Mitt Romney,” [George W.] Bush told ABC News this morning as the doors of an elevator closed on him, after he gave a speech on human rights a block from his old home — the White House. No doubt former president George W. Bush’s endorsement will help Mitt Romney sew up the [...]
