A student at Madison’s La Follette High School comes to school with a handgun and two magazines of ammo in his backpack. When Madison police show up to arrest him, a security guard and other staff members harass the cops. In another incident at the school, a student (perhaps the same one — he hasn’tContinue reading “More Madness in Madison Schools”

Wisconsin’s Prison Mess
Tony Evers owns this. The governor has been in office five and a half years, so he can’t blame the mess at the Department of Corrections on the previous administration. And he shouldn’t be allowed to get away with blaming it on the Republican Legislature. This is about mismanagement at the top. Last month theContinue reading “Wisconsin’s Prison Mess”
The Q&Q For 6/15/24
This week’s quote comes to us from none other than George Shea, the host of Nathan’s Hot Dogs annual hot dog eating contest. Shea was commenting on the loss of charismatic champion Joey Chestnut from this year’s event. “It is like a gut punch,” Mr. Shea said. “To me this is a tradition; it isContinue reading “The Q&Q For 6/15/24”
Why Won’t Biden Quit on Student Loans?
I don’t get. I have never gotten it. Now I get it even less. I have never understood why it was “progressive” to cancel student loans. On average, a person with a four-year degree makes almost one and a half million dollars more over the course of a career than someone who didn’t pick upContinue reading “Why Won’t Biden Quit on Student Loans?”
Justices Say Nothing of Interest
I suppose Lauren Windsor got what she came for: attention. Other than that, she didn’t get much. Windsor is the liberal Democratic activist who attended a gala for the Supreme Court Historical Society, posed as a religious conservative and secretly taped Justices John Roberts and Samual Alito along with Alito’s wife. What they all saidContinue reading “Justices Say Nothing of Interest”
Slap ‘Em on the Wrist, Move On
It’s not surprising that Hunter Biden was convicted on three counts related to his possession of a gun while addicted to drugs. His defense seemed to all but concede on the facts, while trying to generate sympathy regarding the circumstances of his addiction. No dice. This and the case against Donald Trump aren’t all thatContinue reading “Slap ‘Em on the Wrist, Move On”
Could Madison’s School Referenda Elect Trump?
Could Madison voters do the unthinkable? No, not vote for Donald Trump. Let’s be serious. I mean could they vote down a school referendum? And if they do that, could it chip away at the overwhelming margin that Biden will win by in the city come November thereby nudging a close election in Trump’s direction?Continue reading “Could Madison’s School Referenda Elect Trump?”
Prepare for Trump, the Sequel
I had planned to save this one for the fall, but now I feel like it’s not too early to start preparing for a second Trump administration. We can’t predict the future and nothing’s a sure thing, but we can make some educated guesses about probabilities. Now, in the wake of the reaction (or lackContinue reading “Prepare for Trump, the Sequel”
The Q&Q For 6/8/24
This week’s quote comes to us from a spokesperson for the Supreme Court who said: “Justice Jackson is Crazy in Love With Beyonce’s Music. Who isn’t?“ A) Free tickets to one of her concerts valued at $900 a pop. B) A special judicial robe, cut very high at the hip. C) An autographed Cowboy CarterContinue reading “The Q&Q For 6/8/24”
Pay the Players More
The predictable whining has begun. Don’t be fooled, there’s plenty of money in big time college sports to pay the players. Last month, in an historic settlement of an antitrust case, college sports programs agreed to pay their athletes up to $21 million a year going forward. They also agreed to pay damages of $2.8Continue reading “Pay the Players More”
