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 [...]

The Elmbrook student scholarship practice moves into a new phase

I’m told that BrookfieldNOW has picked it up and will have something in Thursday’s paper. Not like this blog drives the news or anything…
I’m thinking out loud here…

But what if we had a SE Wisconsin paper called “The Conservative Times” or something like that. Man, I am so tired of the slant we get from that failing news outlet. Blech.
Berg suckers BrookfieldNOW again

The paper is at it again with bad details from Alderman Scott Berg driving a fake controversy. This time it’s whether part-time city employees should have access to the city’s health care plan. Keep in mind when you read this drivel, NO PART-TIME EMPLOYEES CURRENTLY HAVE ACCESS TO THE CITY’S HEALTH CARE PLAN. Elected officials, [...]

Less than 200,000 subscriptions for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
October 26th, 2009 · 12 Comments
They are saying their circulation dropped over 10% in the last six months. The real number is 190,841. If I had my way, we’d be off their list, but the spouse loves his morning paper ritual. I subscribe to their newsfeed. I can’t tell you the number of times in recent weeks where they’ve been [...]
The hot stories of the afternoon
October 21st, 2009 · No Comments
So, those main news channels aren’t covering the blockbuster news that the Senate blasted one of Harry Reid’s ideas 53-47. No, they are covering the pay czar’s decision to dump 90% of the top tier pay for those financial institutions who still owe TARP funding. I’m very pleased with the Senate vote. I’ll try to [...]

America the gullible, and time to slow down a bit
October 19th, 2009 · 5 Comments
America is gullible. Make no mistake, America chooses to be gullible. No where are we more vulnerable than the 24 hour cable news channel. In the last week the channels stayed glued to a balloon boy hoax for several hours and a car chase in the Dallas area for a couple of hours. No switching [...]
The phrase is “in the tank.”

I’ll admit, there’s been more than one conservative blogger who has opined the mainstream media is rather fond of Barack Obama. Mary from Freedom Eden gives us a couple of pretty concrete examples of CNN and the Associated Press. They both took the time to FACT CHECK the Saturday Night Live skit! As she points [...]
I love Glenn Beck tonight

I don’t catch him very often, and yes, sometimes it’s hit or miss, but tonight he’s right on.

Lawsuit stuff
September 26th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Actually, not much information as much as a request. I’ve been told there’s something about the lawsuit in the Freeman yesterday. If you have access, would you send me a copy? I can only imagine how gracious the thing might be. And Freeman, let me tell you, it’s so not cool to print a one-sided [...]
