Court Race Throws a Spanner in the Works of Wisconsin Wingnuts

While Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan prepares to shut down the federal government to prove that government is bad, analysts say the radical agenda of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker suffered a major set back today as his good friend incumbent Justice David Prosser was defeated for Wisconsin Supreme Court. The AP ... continue reading

Will “Bitches” and “Turds” Decide the Fate of Wisconsin?

The reign of lawlessness continues in Wisconsin. Last week, a local court issued a stay temporarily blocking the implementation of Governor Scott Walker's radical proposal to do away with most collective bargaining rights for public workers and cripple labor's ability to collect union dues.

The Wizard Will See You Now, Scott Walker

I've been thinking of how Republicans and Tea Partyers hate socialism, communism and want less government -- but don't act like it.

Schooling Scott Walker on the Wisconsin Public

I'm a birther. That's right – I don't believe the absurd claims of the National Governor's Association that Scott Walker was born in my home state of Wisconsin.

Unions badgering Wisconsin's finances?

You have to give Gov. Walker and his wealthy patrons credit. Here we have a situation where Wall Street fat cats wrecked the economy - people like Richard Fuld, Robert Rubin, and Angelo Mozilo - and they've  somehow managed to blame schoolteachers and the highway patrol. Now we have a ... continue reading
