Surely not, though. God loves Wisconsin too much to let that happen. Doesn’t He? Or…could this be evidence that St. Louis is gonna win the NLCS? Oh, right, you don’t know what I’m talking about. Remember Harold Camping? Camping, 88, has scrutinized the Bible for almost 70 years and says he has developed a mathematical […]

The Other McCain’s Smitty wonders about the “profits before people” complaint: Is there something unnatural about this keyboard? Does its matter not matter? Is it anti-matter? These physical objects are all derived, ultimately, from the Periodic Table of Elements, no? The real grip about arguments such as these is that they are first and foremost […]

That’s George Will, doing the kind of writing I wish I could do. He’s talking about Elizabeth Warren, the Senate candidate challenging Scott Brown, who now-famously said: “There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there – good for you. But I want to be […]

Those “Occupy Wall Street” protesters – the ones who’ve been camping out in New York’s financial district because they don’t have jobs and can’t afford video games – are being incredibly helpful: NEW YORK (Reuters) – Protesters who have camped out near Wall Street for two weeks marched on Friday on police headquarters in Manhattan […]

If I were cynical, I’d think the New York Times’ Joe Nocera was trying to muddle up the Solyndra scandal. He writes: If Brian Harrison and W. G. Stover, the two Solyndra executives who took the Fifth Amendment at a Congressional hearing on Friday, ever spend a day in jail, I’ll stand on my head […]

…this post has it all! Many fun and interesting things happen on eBay. True. But none so fun or interesting — or as satisfying — as this one: This is an auction for the famous “Pink Slip” that was hurled at Representative Robin Vos at the Racine Lincoln Day Dinner by notorious goof ball, Vos-Stalker, […]

In reverse order: 1976 — The first Space Shuttle, Enterprise, is unveiled by NASA. 1920 — The National Football League is organized in Canton, Ohio, United States. And God bless ’em for it, go Pack. 1862 — American Civil War: the Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest day in American history. 1814 — Francis Scott Key […]

…why are wealthy Chinese looking to leave? China’s richest are increasingly investing abroad to get a foreign passport, to make international business and travel easier but also to give them a way out of China. Seems like I’ve literally heard a crapload of stories lately about how China’s economy is going to surpass ours…China will […]

So George Lucas is re-re-re-releasing the Star Wars saga, this time with even more minor changes. Sheesh. Is it so much to ask to watch these in all their original, melodramatic glory? At least until the remake, which may or may not happen before the third and final trilogy is released? Fans/geeks are annoyed. In […]

The story: Tripoli Files Show CIA Working With Libya The Central Intelligence Agency and Libyan intelligence services developed such a tight relationship during the George W. Bush administration that the U.S. shipped terror suspects to Libya for interrogation and suggested the questions they should be asked, according to documents found in Libya’s External Security agency […]

Or maybe I should say: another Krugmaniacal bit of ridiculous. Today, NY Times columnist and Nobel laureate Paul Krugman is bemoaning the Obama administration’s retreat from their new ozone regulations: I’ve actually been avoiding thinking about the latest Obama cave-in, on ozone regulation; these repeated retreats are getting painful to watch. For what it’s worth, […]

The story: The Teaching Assistants’ Association at the University of Wisconsin at Madison — the oldest TA union in the nation — voted not to recertify their own union. Last week, after hours of debate, the union’s members voted not to seek state certification to continue to act as a collective bargaining agent. The vote […]

You know what the real results of Wisconsin’s recent recall elections were? Democrats won the seats everybody expected them to win, and Republicans won the seats everybody expected them to win. True, the Dems thought they had a shot at a couple of others. True, Republicans thought they had a shot at at least one, […]

…but, seriously, doesn’t every candidate do that? I know I’m a little late with this since Perry made the announcement today, but it’s been swirling around in my head so I’m gonna get a post about it. Just the other day, Joe Garofoli wrote: Dude just announced that he’s GOING to announce that he’s going […]

Not that I have any special knowledge; nor am I any kind of finance professional, but Wall Street’s recent bungee-cording seems to have a lot of people in the mid-to-high discombobulation range these days. This seems like a good time to remind everyone: don’t freak out. Over the last twelve months (ending yesterday), the Dow […]

Kevin Binversie, reporting for the Wisconsin Reporter, has what ought to be a huge story: Earlier revelations about state Rep. Fred Clark, D-Baraboo, being engaged to the executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters have sparked continued investigation into his primary residence. Clark is running in a recall election against Sen. Luther Olsen, […]

…and seceding from the rest of California seems like a helluva start: Is the state of California about to go “South”? Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone apparently thinks so, after proposing that the county lead a campaign for as many as 13 Southern California counties to secede from the state. Stone said in a statement […]
