Name That Quote

On January 3, 2011 By

That being said, as a state worker myself, I am getting annoyed at being turned into some fiscal bogey man. Going to “war” with state workers who are “supposedly bellied up at the trough” or who have “drank the governmental Kool-Aid,” to paraphrase some, is insulting. It’s also not going to get Republicans very far [...]

My two cents on the McBride-Flynn affair

On June 19, 2009 By

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 how [...]

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

On April 9, 2008 By

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, [...]

A Speech-Free Zone

On March 20, 2008 By

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 comments [...]

Is it just me…

On February 6, 2008 By

…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 cool [...]

On December 19, 2007 By

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 [...]

On September 11, 2007 By

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!

On September 2, 2007 By

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 [...]
