That’s short for “disrespect” in case you haven’t lived with teens lately. Russ Feingold won’t be around when President Obama is here stumping for Tom Barrett. I’d venture a guess that’s not Russ Feingold’s idea. Update – Wow. Maybe this has something to do with it all. That’s a seriously nasty situation.

The primary is two weeks from today. If you are one to vote in primaries, it’s time to start thinking of your ballot. Here’s a way to see your options that still holds. I checked mine out early last week. And that reminds me. There’s some hay to be made in this primary. I’ll try [...]

Ron Johnson and Greenland, will Dem faces go red?
August 23rd, 2010 · No Comments
Ok, Wisconsin Democrats, and especially Wisconsin’s Dem bloggers, are having a Wisconsin cow over Ron Johnson’s stance on global warming. Johnson has made some statements that frankly don’t differ from the average conservative stance. In fact, I’m pretty sure the Greenland comment is more of a conservative inside joke than an expanded statement of fact. [...]

Patrick McIlheran on Ron Johnson
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. I had the opportunity to spend some time with the Republican senatorial candidate about a month or go. I got one of those holographic cards. I think Johnson is awesome. Not awesome in a gosh-he’s-so-powerful [...]
Walker and the NoTrain.com gimmick
August 16th, 2010 · 28 Comments
Yes, gimmick. Voters, ask yourselves, did he bother to stop the train when a station was being put up at the Milwaukee County airport facility? Correct. This is the game most Republicans play. Brookfield, you’re about to watch Mayor Steve Ponto start the same course. You see, they are so very, very against public funding [...]

Property values down in Wisconsin
August 13th, 2010 · 1 Comment
It’s official. It was a bad year for property values in Wisconsin. Guess what? That’s means it’s going to be a tough, tough year for budgets – well, that is, if you want to keep the voters happy. It’s going to hit Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker very hard. Either [...]

The “B” Word
July 23rd, 2010 · No Comments
Apparently, in Wisconsin, if you are on a ballot and not a member of a major political party you are allowed up to five words on the ballot as a “statement of purpose” to explain your candidacy. Well, Ieshuh Griffin, who is running for office in Milwaukee decided the slogan that best describes her is [...]

Scott Walker opens a brown blog
July 15th, 2010 · No Comments
Or is it bag? I get so confused sometimes… Anyway, I overheard the Walker guy talking about this Tuesday night at Drinking Right. He’s soliciting guest bloggers to front for a “Team Tosa Blog” on Walker’s website. The campaign wants it to be a real blog, by golly. Fairly Conservative reader Aaron Rodriguez has the [...]
