Paul Farrow has an opponent in the 98th!

June 15th, 2010 · No Comments

Victor Weers, 15980 Mark Drive, Brookfield, WI 53005 That’s according to this report from the GAB. He’s running as a Democrat. It looks like he’s run before. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of the guy. So…no independent candidate yet? No Republican primary candidate for Farrow? Oh come on out there. Someone needs to make [...]

Feingold watches the blogs

June 14th, 2010 · 3 Comments

I’ve written about a lot of senators, but in my opinion, no one watches the blogs like Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold and his staff. I doubt very seriously if he gave a flip about what I said. That’s the beauty of Russ Feingold. Gosh it must be great to be sooo much better than your [...]

Sadly, this is our America, too

June 14th, 2010 · 7 Comments

We like a lot of things about our country around here, but I stumbled across something this morning that surprised me. Take a minute and read this CNN account of the Democratic primary winner for one of South Carolina’s Senate seats. Greene’s unlikely to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Jim DeMint. Still, what the heck is [...]

Feingold attempts to label opponent Johnson as evil capitalist

June 13th, 2010 · No Comments

Stolen from a Democrat’s Facebook page:* At the reception on Friday.”If you believe that big government is bad why would you believe that a Big Government owned by Big Business was good?” Ron Johnson is big business? I don’t think so. Please keep in mind that Russ Feingold has a bigger campaign balance than God. [...]

Scott Newcomer will not run again for 33rd assembly

May 26th, 2010 · 2 Comments

Hey, I could’ve called that one. Here’s my take on it from FC and this blog. To whatever extent I had a hand in his decision, oh well! Honestly, there have been grumblings indicating this news for the last week or so. And for the record, just in case you happen to vote from that [...]

Oh Mr. President

May 25th, 2010 · No Comments

Why no questions? A girlfriend and I were talking this morning and she mentioned – and yes, perhaps this was a Fox talking point – how Obama is everywhere but hasn’t taken questions in a press conference in ages. I found this article from February, 2010. Has there been any change from these dates? Here’s [...]

“Walker’s people are setting Neumann up to take the fall when Walker loses.”

May 20th, 2010 · No Comments

That’s a quote from this important post by The Wisconsin Truth Project. The reasoned tone is enough to make me a new regular reader. Thanks to Jeremy at Rhymes with Clown for the tip.

Paul Farrow’s campaign website for the 98th Assembly race

May 19th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Here it is, folks. Or at least that’s the link someone left on Ron Johnson’s Facebook wall as a comment. A May 10th report from the Elections Board shows he’s still running unopposed. Rich Zipperer has an opponent for the 33rd Senate seat now. Tim Dietrich from Sussex declared as a Republican on 3/18. Not [...]

YouCut – Can we cut the gimmicks instead?

May 13th, 2010 · 2 Comments

The big rollout from Republicans this week is a website that lets you choose what programs should be cut from the U.S. budget. Labeled YouCut, you can find it on the Republican whip’s home page. Pooey. Cut them all. Instead of more gimmicks, could we possibly get leadership out of you guys? I mean, we [...]
