August 19th, 2010 · 8 Comments

I want to thank the MJS conservative columnist for this work. I think his tone did Mr. Johnson justice indeed.

Obama’s General: Why He’s Losing the War

June 28th, 2010 · 2 Comments

That’s on the cover of the Rolling Stone that I just picked out of the mailbox. I’d also argue that’s the real reason Obama tossed McChrystal. (Yes, I’ll admit I missed that prediction.) Obama was being forced to own the general and the war. Obama doesn’t take responsibility for much very gracefully. There’s been a [...]

Journal Interactive offers free campaign blogs

December 10th, 2009 · No Comments

Brookfield mayoral candidate David Marcello has started one at BrookfieldNOW.com. Take a minute and notice Mr. Marcello’s first commenter is Mayor Jeff Speaker’s hit man 5th District Alderman Scott Berg. (Ok, I snorted a little just now. Like we didn’t see that one coming.) Interestingly Mr. Marcello’s second commenter is quick to introduce readers to [...]

Patrick McIlheran says I’m “intrepid”

December 1st, 2009 · No Comments

Yep, I’m going to take that as a compliment. He’s right, though. It’s time to act if you’re unhappy with your local government. And yes, I’ll help.

Shark jumpers for the week of November 22

November 28th, 2009 · 4 Comments

Well, we have our party crashers, Tareq and Michaele Salahi. I’d say their public career is going the way of balloon boy’s family attempt for the starlight. Next there’s the obvious – Tiger Woods. We’ll call him the fire hydrant and tree crasher to stick to our theme. No way that story won’t be making [...]
