On Wednesday I wrote about Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy Romo West’s use of text messaging to fire her Legislative Aide. At the time I noted that Sup. West was playing “hard to get” when it came to answering very specific questions I had regarding the frequency of her use of text messages to conduct County [...]
It’s very disappointing to me that the President is keeping the Wisconsin labor movement at arms length.
Ever since the recall wars erupted in this battleground state, the Obama campaign has been faced with a dilemma: How involved does the president get in a polarizing fight with huge national overtones?
Less than two weeks to [...]
On April 25, 2012 Milwaukee County Supervisor Peggy Romo West terminated the employment of her Legislative Aide (LA). While Romo West’s termination of her now-former LA isn’t necessarily newsworthy, what’s curious about the termination is how Supervisor Romo West chose to terminate her Legislative Aide’s employment.
So how exactly did Supervisor Romo West fire her [...]

The Imperial Walker is hoping to lure innocent protesters to their doom when he makes a public appearance at a memorial service at the Capitol for fallen police officers. MacGruber Noise Service, Faux Noise and the rest of the RWNJ media would like nothing more than to capture on video a bunch of protesters [...]

Charles Pierce over at Esquire sums it up nicely
For some reason, and I may never figure out why, the national Democratic party seems locked into the notion that there are national campaigns and local campaigns and that the latter affect the former only in what is accidental. Whereas the Republicans, [...]
In the Sunday print edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel there was a quarter page ad from a local bank offering 1.0% APY on a certificate of deposit (I don’t remember the number of months) with a MINIMUM deposit of $50,000. My bank is paying like 0.1% on my passbook account.

John Harvey asks a darn good one, too.
Why on earth, in a period of chronic unemployment, would we purposely set out to lower the spending of a major sector in the macroeconomy? Where do President Obama and Congressman Ryan think the businesses where government money was spent will make up those sales? They [...]
In a letter to Jonathan Jackson dated 2 October, 1789, John Adams wrote,
