Did Flynn continue the affair?

As reported by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, former Waukesha County District Attorney (and current jilted spouse) Paul Bucher is alleging Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn has continued his extramarital affair with Jessica McBride, a journalist and lecturer at UWM. Chief Flynn has denied that the affair has continued, saying, “I regret that Mr. Bucher [...]

My two cents on the McBride-Flynn affair

I’m not going to beat that horse too much, because it’s already near death, but I will say this:

I don’t want to hear one damn word out of Jessica McBride’s mouth about “family values” or the institution of marriage ever again, because she clearly doesn’t understand the meaning of family values or just [...]

A Policy of Personal Destruction, or How People Who Live in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Stones

Just last week, one of my favorite anonymous bloggers took the step of “outing” himself during an appearance on WUWM’s Lake Effect with Jane Hampden. Shortly after “outing” himself, the illusory tenant – also known as Thomas Foley – found himself on the receiving end of a couple of particularly nasty personal attacks, one [...]

Journal Sentinel Wins Pulitzer, Sykes Does Not

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 [...]

A Speech-Free Zone

It’s no secret Jessica Buch…McBride isn’t a fan of comments on her blogs that dare to dissent from the opinion she’s espousing. In fact, I’ve always found it a little odd that someone who purports to be a “journalist” would be so opposed to free speech in all its forms, instead choosing to censor [...]

Is it just me…

…or has anyone else noticed how fond some folks in the right-wing blogosphere are of moderating their comments? I mean, to each their own, but it’s funny to me to see so many folks on the right resort to moderating their comments in order to screen what gets said. It seems like all the [...]

Jensen Convictions Overturned, McBride Calls for Slap on Wrist

So now that former Assembly Speaker Scott Jensen’s three felony convictions have been overturned on appeal, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is calling for Jensen’s case to be resolved without another trial. Predictably, Jessica Bucher is on board with Van Hollen’s recommendation, going so far as to say that if allowed to plead to [...]

The Curious Case of Scott Jensen

Who can forget the case of Scott Jensen, former Speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly who was convicted of three felonies? I haven’t forgotten, and I haven’t forgotten the fact that despite being convicted in May of 2006 to serve 15 months in Wisconsin State Prison for his three felony convictions, Scott Jensen has [...]

Conservatives: Forgiveness Isn’t a Christian Value!

So now that Senator Larry Craig (R-Bathroom Stalls) has resigned in disgrace, it seems Young Jessica McBride (or YJM as I like to call her) is gunning for Senator Ted Kennedy’s resignation. Now you might be asking yourself what Senator Kennedy has done recently to warrant YJM saying Kennedy’s “next,” and I couldn’t help [...]

Jessica McBride: Crack Journalist!

I love what some people consider to be a “journalist” nowadays.

Take Jessica McBride for example. Young Jessica is a teacher of young journalists – a molder of minds if you will. The future of journalism is in her hands, a thought that absolutely frightens me to no end.

I happened to surf on [...]
