Wet Paper Bag to get Workout This Morning

Clown Prince Rick Esenberg, consigliere to the wingnut mafia, will be on Charlie Sykes this morning attempting to escape a wet paper bag.  Can you imagine two more ill equipped characters to comment on the constitutionality of The Affordable Care Act?

Today’s drinking word for the show is “FREEDOM!”  So do a shot each time you hear [...]

Verify The Recall: It’s Working – Charlie Sykes Style

I recently wrote about how "verify the recall" failed miserably when it came to actually finding fraud within the recall petitions. I also pointed out that, since everyone knew we had way more than enough signatures to recall the four senators and the Walker/Kleefisch ticket, VTR was not about ‘free and fair elections’ whatsoever. “Verify [...]

Charlie Sykes: for recalls before he was against them!

WTMJ right-wing squawker Charlie Sykes, talking about the 2002 recalls here in Milwaukee County: “Businessman Michael Cudahy derided the recall supporters as a “lynch mob,” but outsiders who saw only the anger misunderstood the depth of the outrage.

Mark Neumann to Ride the Tea Party Horse

Mark Neumann has announced his candidacy to replace Herb Kohl as Senator from Wisconsin.  Sure, we know Neumann is conservative, and that he posed as even more conservative than Scott Walker in the 2010 Republican Primary for Governor.  But this time it appears Neumann, despite the statewide reaction to Walker’s extremist policies, is going to [...]

Matt Gorniak a firefighter who opted to just use the union for \"fair share\", decided enter a “9/11 tribute” float in the Racine Independence Day Parade. Nothing honors them more than a float in a parade, but the Firefighters Union decided not to put any resources into this float. Firefighters Local 321 decided to use [...]

Seriously there is a crisis!

No matter what Charlie Sykes tells you, its not the math teachers and special ed assistants that are breaking the country. Since I wrote about it the other day, more more information has come out. $15 billion in profits and $3 + billion in American taxpayer corporate welfare is NOT enough for them, they now [...]
