Oh Dear! I’ve Upset the Queen!

On February 1, 2012 By

I don’t believe I’ve ever encountered a blogger who asked me to stop commenting on his posts because I was upsetting his… “fans.”  Really?

Fans?

Blogger fans?

Are there really such sycophantic creatures as “blogger fans?“

Well, I suppose if your blog has T-Shirts, it may as well have fans…  Here’s a Dr. Tim [...]

Hyper-partisan Media Trackers’ epic fail

On January 31, 2012 By

Over at the “non-partisan” rag that is Media Trackers, Collin Roth wrote a piece a few days ago attacking Scot Ross, the former Executive Director of One Wisconsin Now, as being “hyper-partisan.” Roth goes on to allege Ross was the “subject of similar crimes” to those alleged to have been committed by three close [...]

Voter Intimidation Never Changes

On January 30, 2012 By

It used to be a simple matter of putting a gun to “darkie’s” head and he’d do exactly what you wanted.

But we’re much more sophisticated than that now…

Reactionary douchebags never change.  No strategy too vicious, no idea too contemptible, no freedom inviolable as long as they get their way.

Why I Love The Republican Party!

On January 20, 2012 By

Because you just can not make these stories up!

1. As many of you know, BloggingBlue went dark yesterday to protest SOPA. Well it turns out that one of the authors of this insane bill, Rep. Lamar Smith (R- Texas), was caught violating his own bill.

Isn’t it funny when a Republican [...]

1-17-12: Uniquely Wisconsin

On January 18, 2012 By

It has been twenty-four hours since I left Madison to return home to Waukesha and I’m still glowing. From the recall petition drops to the Solidarity Sing-Along to the party at the Monona Terrace, 1-17-12 will be a day I’ll never forget. Many citizens who traveled across the state to converge in Madison echoed the [...]

An honest challenge to Cindy K

On January 18, 2012 By

Over the last few years, I have pretty much given up on following the conservative bloggers in the state, because 1) they don’t care for me and 2) I don’t care for them so 3) screw that.

But I still follow some of the more reasonable ones on twitter, since it’s not a bad idea [...]

Fred Dooley could use a fact checker

On January 17, 2012 By

Last week, Fred Dooley, a proud member of the “hate right” here in Wisconsin and the proprietor of the Real “Debate” Wisconsin blog (inappropriately named, given Dooley’s intense dislike of any opinion that differs from his own) posted an entry attacking DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz after she called out the TEA party in the [...]

Badger Blue, Times Two: “Contempt, thy name is Fitzgerald”

On January 14, 2012 By

I couldn’t agree more….
It boils down to this: Scott Fitzgerald represents the very worst of an American political system bought and paid for by special interests and representing the needs of a tiny, select few. He just needs to go. It’s that simple.

Once you’ve finished reading the rest of Brian’s [...]

Refactoring Time

On January 13, 2012 By

[Cross-posted at The Masses]

I started blogging a few years ago, but I was never really dedicated to it.  I’d post a bit here and a bit there, but I didn’t have the interest or the drive to keep it going.  It wasn’t until Scott Walker attacked the working men and women (my lovely wife [...]

“Kinda Makes Their Tea Party, Look Like a Tea Party”

On January 12, 2012 By

The Washington County Republican Party recently came out (in force?), to show support for Scott Walker.

Photo from Boots and Sabers where they said “The Walker supporters, who ranged in age from children to senior citizens“, although I am assuming they are counting the grandkids pictures in the [...]
