Alexander — the board’s conservative firebrand — has been axed from her $86,000-per-year state job.
Alexander declined to explain why she was fired by the state Department of Children and Families in recent weeks. She had worked as a section chief in the state division that oversees Milwaukee’s […]
Here’s Roseanne Barr, hero of the right wing
By now you’ve no doubt heard about the cancellation of the reboot of Roseanne Barr’s television show after Barr sent out a racist tweet. Predictably, many on the right wing have started to hold Barr up as some sort of free speech hero for speaking her mind and being punished for it, but I can’t […]
Earlier this month Tim Nolan, the former campaign chair for Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign in Kentucky, was sentenced to 20 years in prison
A former Kentucky judge and conservative political activist has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to human trafficking and other sex crimes.

Well, me either. Well until yesterday. I have a personal email address that I only use for my email subscriptions to publications and the White House email 1600 Daily.
But yesterday, I got a campaign contribution solicitation from none other than chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Devin Nunes […]

This past week, House Speaker Paul Ryan fired the House Chaplain. I applaud him for that. But he did it for all the wrong reasons.

This is just silly and we shouldn’t still be talking about this (and Rep. Dale Kooyenga agrees) but when someone should just apologize for doing something stupid and get on with life, well he can’t resist getting as silly as he possibly can (Why Am I Paying For This? Or You For That Matter?).

After losing his court battle to delay holding special elections for an open legislative seat and a senatorial seat THREE TIMES, Governor Scott Walker relented and called for the special elections. And the legislature called off passage of the special bill they were working on to change the rules around special elections.
But amid all […]
Earlier this month I called bullshit on Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s failure to hold special elections to fill vacant legislative seats after appointing GOP legislators to administrative positions (Walker Sued Over Elections, His Excuse?)
The arguments involved are: under the one voter one vote rule, Wisconsin residents aren’t being represented in Madison as long […]
Immediately after the Texas primary, Senator Cruz ran an ad going after his Democratic opponent Beto O’Rourke for changing his name to sound more Hispanic in Texas.
1) While O’Rourke’s first name is indeed legally Robert and he is white, he has used the traditionally Hispanic nickname Beto for decades. He also has not […]
