Today in 1947, the British formally ended their 200-year colonial rule of India. The opinion of the rest of the civilized world forced them to bow to the inevitable due in large part to the work of one man, Mahatma Gandhi. Beginning in 1893, Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa working against racial discrimination […]
The primary for this seat will determine the winner of the general election as there is no Republican opposition. The 4th Senate District includes the Northside of Milwaukee, parts of Glendale and Wauwatosa, and Shorewood.

Morning Sickness….
I was shocked beyond belief this morning while watching an interview with the author of a new book, The Intimidation Game, Kim Strassel, on Morning Joe. Joe Scarborough and Nicole Wallace just sat back and let this woman lie like a rug about the “Left’s scare tactics” designed to shut down “free speech.” Nicole specifically asked […]
Today, in 1765, the British Parliament enacted the Quartering Act which required American colonists to provide housing for British Soldiers, as well as food, drink, fuel and housing. Despite popular belief, the British soldiers didn’t “appropriate” homes or foodstuffs, but the Quartering Act caused resentment to grow nonetheless. After the Boston Tea Party, the Quartering […]
It’s funny how some fleeting thing is rolling around in your brain, not quite taking form, for days and then out of nowhere, it coalesces into an actual thought. Kind of a two plus two moment. Yesterday, when I saw Zach’s post about the piss poor Abele campaign mailing, painting Chris Larson as no Bernie […]
Second verse, same as the first
Apparently, there is some discussion about a brokered GOP convention as the antidote to a Trump nomination for the Presidency. Even better, according to the Hawkings Here blog on Roll Call, the leading contender would be none other than our Boy Wonder, Paul Ryan. Yep. That Paul Ryan, the new Speaker of the House.

All day yesterday, I was ruminating on the upcoming Supreme Court primary and the great opportunity it presents for Democrats to vote Rebecca Bradley out of the race altogether. Even though the race is non-partisan, she is clearly one of Walker’s “tools” and would pretty much put an end to any hope of turning that […]
When I heard that the Guv was going to announce that he was dropping out of the race, I began pondering a piece on the topic for Blogging Blue. Ironically, Scott Walker gave me my voice as a writer. I was always good at expressing myself verbally, but I was never much of a writer. […]
Scott Walker was interviewed on MTP this morning. Almost the first thing out of his mouth is that voters want someone who will look them in the eyes and tell them what he will do…and it goes downhill after that….for 30 minutes. He’s still pandering to his base with the same old tired talking points and […]
GOP Debate, Part Deux: The Republicans got Trumped
The clear winner (besides Fox who got 24 million viewers) in Thursday’s debate was whoever is going to run as the 2016 Democratic nominee for President of the United States. From the opening moments, each of the candidates showed America exactly what he would bring to the table if elected. In every case, it […]
