Gingrich challenging the Florida delegate allocation?

Well this is interesting: The Newt Gingrich campaign is gearing up to challenge the results of the Florida Republican presidential primary based on the Republican National Committee’s own rules which state that no contest can be winner-take-all prior to April 1, 2012. (See RNC memo.) The Romney campaign — and just about everybody else, it […]

No Need to Panic About Global Warming?

You may have seen the letter in the Wall Street Journal yesterday, written (purportedly) by sixteen “scientists” who somehow think the Global Warming consensus is something they can dispute. Which, of course, they can. In response, I’m forced to wonder: has anybody ever written an anti-fisking? If not, then witness this TrogloPundit first. The letter […]

Wisconsin Democrats: blacks, elderly can’t be trusted!

Oh, this is perfect. Wisconsin Democrats are looking for volunteers to help put the finishing touches on their recall efforts. Here’s their announcement: Petition Processing Strike Force – Sign Up Form We need assistance prepping boxes and processing the final petitions to ensure that everything is ready for submission to the Government Accountability Board in […]

“Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop.” Imagine being the one to find that name on a recall petition.

I wonder what his name was before? A man who police say legally changed his name to Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop… Is that a long “o” or a short “o” in “Beezow?” You know he only did it so finding “Bugs Bunny” on a recall petition wouldn’t look so unusual. …faces weapon and drug charges after […]

Recall Walker? You’ll never forget him, that’s for sure!

Alternate title: liberal heads are making like watermelon at a Gallagher show all over Wisconsin! Why? In 2011, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker(R) served as the embodiment of the state by state battle to balance budgets and the best symbol of the struggle between the two political parties about how best to meet those fiscal challenges. […]

 

An interesting dichotomy in economic statistickery

Story #1: ‘Dismal’ prospects: 1 in 2 Americans are now poor or low income Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans – nearly 1 in 2 – have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income. One does wonder what the definition of “poverty” and […]

Occupy Richmond sides with Richmond Tea Party’s complaint

Well that’s interesting: The Richmond Tea Party has found an unlikely ally in its fight against a City Hall tax audit: the Occupy movement. Despite any ideological differences, Occupy Richmond has come out in support of the local chapter of the conservative Tea Party movement, which has accused city officials of a double standard in […]

 

The payroll tax cut, and why my feelings on it are somewhat less mixed than they were before.

Via Jazz Shaw, and as you’re probably already aware, the Senate rejected two measures on the 2-point payroll tax cut on Thursday: The Senate late Thursday rejected competing partisan visions for extending a temporary tax break that benefits virtually every American worker, clearing the way for more serious negotiations over how to cover the cost […]

Why do Wisconsin liberals want so badly to overturn Gov. Walker’s reforms NOW?

Because the longer they stay in effect, the better they’ll work. Earlier this week, I wrote about a survey which, according to Wisconsin’s educracy, concluded that Governor Walker’s reforms are destroying public education in Wisconsin. Governor Walker responded: um, you better take a closer look at your own numbers, guys. And now, a small update. […]

 



Could the French please do us all a favor and just shut the hell up?

I know, I’m supposed to take the news that President Obama “insulted” French president Nicolas Sarkozy as a sign of Obama’s stupidity. But I just can’t. Because it’s the French, because politics really should stop at the water’s edge (except for Hawaii), and because… …seriously, you French, you bunch of dweebs are mad about what, […]

 

Fox 6 Milwaukee: fourth-graders on field trip were made participate in an anti-Walker protest.

Every day at Wisconsin’s state capitol, twenty or so people get together at lunchtime for a pro-union, anti-Scott Walker singalong. It’s annoying, but harmless, and, well, whaddayagonna do. Free speech. But. Wisconsin fourth grade classes traditionally take a field trip to the state capitol. Naturally, these days, these fourth-graders are getting a first-hand view of […]

 

How many CIA analysts does it take to screw in a light bulb?

I dunno the answer, but that headline was automatically sent to my twitter feed. So I hope any CIA analysts reading it are enjoying the discussion amongst themselves: AP Exclusive: CIA following Twitter, Facebook In an anonymous industrial park in Virginia, in an unassuming brick building, the CIA is following tweets – up to 5 […]

What if 250 Tea Partiers just went ahead and set up camp in a public park somewhere? We need to see what would happen.

They’ve got a point: RICHMOND, VA (WTVR) – The Richmond Tea Party is asking the city of Richmond for its money back. They say they’re not happy to hear that Occupy Richmond protesters get to stay in Kanawha Plaza – for free. In April, the Richmond Tea Party held a Tax Day Rally in Kanawha […]
