What do Mark Carney, Emmanuel Macron, Claudia Sheinbaum and Vladimir Zelensky all have in common? They’ve seen increased popularity because they’re standing up to the convicted felon Donald Trump. Maybe U.S. Democrats should give that a try. Carney, the new Canadian Prime Minister, leads a Liberal Party that was heading for a disastrous election defeat.Continue reading “Dems Should Try Being the Opposition”

Two Tales of DEI
Sarah Inama was making a statement that should not have been controversial. The middle school teacher in Idaho displayed a sign in her classroom that simply said that everyone was welcome, regardless of their background. Here’s the poster: But the convicted felon Donald Trump has created an atmosphere of such terror that free speech isContinue reading “Two Tales of DEI”
The Q&Q For 3/15/25
The Quote & Quiz has been on hiatus for a few weeks, but due to the overwhelming demand of one of our readers, it’s back today! This week’s quote comes to us from none other than the convicted felon Donald Trump, who said of his friend (to the extent he has any) Elon Musk: “IContinue reading “The Q&Q For 3/15/25”
Time For Schumer To Go
Democrats need a war time consigliere. Chuck Schumer ain’t it. Schumer announced last night that he would cave to the convicted felon Donald Trump and the unelected bureaucrat Elon Musk on a bill to fund the government. This is a terrible mistake and it shows that Schumer is not the man for the times. SchumerContinue reading “Time For Schumer To Go”
What You Missed at the Supreme Court Debate

You know what my life is like? I watched the Supreme Court debate last night. That’s what it has come to forContinue reading “What You Missed at the Supreme Court Debate”
Democrats: Fight Now!
The auction house paddles were dumb. The pink outfits were pointless. The Resist tee shirts are still available from HouseDems.com, but only in XX-Large while supplies last! Aside from their weak and embarrassing antics during the convicted felon Donald Trump’s aggressively stupid speech last week, the Democratic leadership seems to have been pursuing a ropeContinue reading “Democrats: Fight Now!”
Support the Associated Press
The Associated Press is like oxygen. You don’t even notice it’s there — until it’s not. The AP has been around since 1846, two years before Wisconsin became a state. It’s a wire service, which is a bit of an anachronism these days. But basically it means that newspapers subscribe to the service and thenContinue reading “Support the Associated Press”
Is ICE Becoming Political Storm Troopers?
I was no fan of the student (and other) protests in support of the Palestinians after Hamas brutally attacked innocent Israelis at a music festival on October 7, 2023. But I would never deny their right to protest. Sure, I thought they went too far in setting up semi-permanent tent cities on campuses, but IContinue reading “Is ICE Becoming Political Storm Troopers?”
A Better Way to Elect a School Board
This is no way to elect a school board. Madison is the only place in the state that elects its public school board in this bizarre manner. Most districts elect their boards with at-large seats on a district-wide basis. The top vote-getters win the number of seats up for election. So, if three seats areContinue reading “A Better Way to Elect a School Board”
What To Do
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries asked his caucus to keep things cool during the convicted felon Donald Trump’s speech to Congress the other night. But they’re Democrats so they couldn’t help themselves. Some held up goofy paddle board signs as if they were bidding on abstract paintings at a Manhattan auction house. Others wore hotContinue reading “What To Do”
