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 […]
Walker Sued Over Elections, His Excuse?
I have to call out bullshit on this one. Two Republican members of the state legislature in Madison resigned their seats in December to take positions in the Walker administration. The governor has not called for special elections to fill those vacant seats, because it would be too expensive and a burden on the […]
The biggest story out of Washington today was the Senate budget agreement adding billions to the deficit with increased for both defense and non-defense domestic items. The president has been lobbying for additional military spending consistently since taking office. But the bill may have issues in the House and Oval Office and a shutdown may […]
Hey, see any treasonous individuals in this picture? Asking for a friend!
[Somebody want to wake up Paul Ryan? Anybody?]
One take away from all of the hullabaloo around the Nunes Memo is: if there is nothing to see here, i.e. collusion, Russian influence, or Trump involvement, why the huge effort to stop the investigation or smear the investigators while undermining our law enforcement agencies?

‘We believe in transparency’ : Kellyanne Conway
Interestingly enough, Kellyanne Conway had some insight into President Trump’s feelings about the dreaded Nunes/FBI memo that has been floating around the House of Representatives and the White House.
WHAT WILL TRUMP DO? Trump has not seen the document, but he has a “‘bare-bones understanding,’ based primarily on press [coverage],” our colleagues report. […]
Apparently US Representative Mark Pocan (D-WI) has invited House Speaker Paul Ryan’s Democratic opponent, Randy Bryce, to tonight’s State of the Union address as his guest. It’s not unusual for members of Congress to make political statements with their choice of guests, so this shouldn’t be that big a deal. But it has US […]
