This was a big week for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Terrence Wall. While formally kicking off his U.S. Senate campaign with a series of events that were closed to the public, Wall had to contend with with continued reports regarding the fact that he had not paid Wisconsin state income taxes for four of [...]

Yesterday on Sunday Insight, host Charlie Sykes and his panel discussed the 2010 U.S. Senate election here in Wisconsin, a race that thus far is shaping up to be Sen. Feingold versus Republican challenger Dave Westlake. During the segment, Sykes opined that Senator Russ Feingold will get a “free ride” in the 2010 unless [...] Posted by Zach W on April 29, 2009, at 10:34 pm
From the first post at Heartland Hollar comes a novel fundraising idea for Scott Walker’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign, which kicked off this week: s you may know, Scott Walker is “officially” believing in himself as governor again (or did he ever stop) and he is going to need a lot of charity from people to survive [...] Posted by Zach W on July 2, 2008, at 6:06 pm
Thanks to a phone call campaign coordinated by Peace Action Wisconsin, a virtual urban warfare game that allowed Summerfest goers as young as 13 to climb into a Humvee simulator and fire machine guns at life-size people displayed on a computer screenhas been shut down by Summerfest officials. Obviously I’m glad the folks from [...] Posted by Zach W on April 7, 2008, at 3:46 pm
Earlier today, it was announced that Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Dave Umhoefer won the Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting for his investigation detailing pension deals for county workers. This is the first Pulitzer ever awarded to a member of the staff of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, while its predecessor the Milwaukee Journal won five [...] Posted by Zach W on February 12, 2008, at 10:03 am
As first noted by capper over at whallah!, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke is playing the blame game once again, and this time he’s blaming everyone but himself (conveniently enough) for the recent spate of shootings in Milwaukee. In an email to Chuck Sykes, Clarke blames Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, Common Council President Willie [...] Posted by Zach W on January 30, 2008, at 8:13 pm
At the beginning of January, I asked the question, “What is torture?” in response to Charlie Sykes’ assertion that waterboarding isn’t really torture, or that maybe it is, but he’d support it as long as it worked, and so when I came across this little nugget on YouTube, I couldn’t help but be reminded of [...] Posted by Zach W on January 2, 2008, at 6:41 pm
Well, according to Chuck Sykes, it’s not waterboarding. Here’s Chuck’s take on torture (emphasis mine): NOTE: I don’t believe I said that waterboarding wasn’t torture… personally, I don’t care what you call it: if it works I’m for it. On Insight, I was contrasting the brutal, savage torture of our enemies with our over-heated chest-thumping [...] Posted by Zach W on November 26, 2007, at 9:22 pm
In thinking of the controversy surrounding the coexist bumper sticker, as well as “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt [...] Posted by Zach W on November 24, 2007, at 11:45 pm
Now unless you’ve been living under a rock lately like I have, undoubtedly you’ve heard about the controversy surrounding Chuck Sykes’ comments in defense of a spoof of the “Coexist” bumper stickers that can be seen on bumpers across southeastern Wisconsin. Said spoof, which was contrived by Tom McMahon, involves replacing, among other things, [...] |
