Sly Pops a Gasket

John "Sly" Sylvester

You’d think he’d focus his vitriol on the real enemy… you know… Scott Walker… Oh well, I guess not.

It’s hard to count the number of people who are only leaving behind the honest recall candidate, Kathleen Falk, for one that’s a hypocritical liar and higher-than-thou campaign expert, Tom Barrett, simply because they [...]

Obama Is Not In Our Corner

"OK, Obamabots…Bring it! I'm ready for you!"

I’m sure I’m going to catch a face full of flame for this, but I’m with Yves Smith here.  The author of ECONned: How Unenlightened Self Interest Undermined Democracy and Corrupted Capitalism, she sees Obama as much more of a friend and defender of the 1% than [...]

Kathleen Falk inserts gender into Democratic gubernatorial primary

From an email sent out by the campaign of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Falk titled “Shattering glass” comes this passage: As you know, the campaign we built together isn’t a campaign of political insiders or elected officials. I’m happy to have support of my colleagues, too, but this is a grassroots campaign of labor, of [...]

It’s Simply A Matter of Electability

There’s been a lot of sparring back and forth here on Blogging Blue and elsewhere about which of the candidates is the best choice to lead Wisconsin out of the darkness.  This decision will be based on a variety of criteria.  Let me be blunt.  Any one of these candidates, regardless of the micro differences [...]

Miles Kristan behaving badly

At the risk of losing my progressive “street cred,” Miles Kristan should really get a life… Serial protester Miles Kristan disrupted a news conference held by Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett Thursday.

“Tom Barrett is a despicable human being,” Kristan shouted at Barrett, reciting a litany of problems he saw with Barrett’s administration in Milwaukee. [...]

“Grassroots or insiders?” How about insiders & insiders?

Earlier today I received an email from the campaign of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Falk titled, “Grassroots or Insiders?”

In said email, Falk notes “the insiders of Wisconsin politics are trying to mow us down and make sure that only their voices are heard on Election Day,” going on to write that her campaign [...]

In Case You Forgot – Scott Fitzgerald

In light of the the maturity and intelligence that Scott Fitzgerald's supporters are showing, I thought I would bring back some classics. This video can not be shown enough.

How important was passing ACT10(which divided the state and set up the many recalls including his own), very important according to Senate Majority Leader Scott [...]

Mitt Romney Plants his “Severely Conservative” Lips on the NRA’s Fat, White Ass

R’Money makes an unholy pilgrimage to kiss the ass of the NRA at their annual convention in St. Louis.

He’s got some explaining to do.

As governor of Massachusetts, he backed laws that are anathema to the national gun lobby — an assault weapons ban and a waiting period [...]

Sly from “Sly in the Morning” interviews Rich Abelson (AUDIO)

Earlier today I posted an entry regarding some misinformation being spread about Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett’s record when it comes to his dealings with unionized City of Milwaukee employees. In that entry, I name John “Sly” Sylvester of WTDY-AM’s “Sly in the Morning” show as one of the folks responsible for attacking Barrett, as Sly [...]

Setting the record straight about Tom Barrett

There’s no doubt in my mind I’ll come under fire in some circles for what I’m about to write, but I think it’s important that as the Democratic gubernatorial primary swings into full gear some Democrats/progressives/liberals don’t rush to form a circular firing squad in order to attack Milwaukee Mayor [...]
