Once again the media is in trouble for altering photos. Here is an article from the New York Post exposing the amazing weight loss of Katie Couric in this photo.How many times do they have to get in trouble for doing this before they realize that falsifying photos to deceive is wrong…and they’ll get caught!?!?...
Rumsfeld, like him or hate him, knows what he is talking about. From the AP today: Rumsfeld Warns Against AppeasementSpeaking to several thousand veterans at the American Legion's national convention, Rumsfeld said that as fascism and Nazism took hold in Europe, those who warned of a coming crisis were ridiculed or ignored. He quoted Winston Churchill as observing that trying to accommodate Hitler was "a bit like feeding a crocodile, hoping it would eat you last.""I recount this history because...

With all the media hype of the one year anniversary of Katrina I thought this comic was perfect.Louisiana failed to help its people. New Orleans failed to help its people. Mayor Nagin failed to help his people.Yet the people of Louisiana and the news media find comfort in blaming those farthest removed from the ability to help.Where is the outcry that Mayor Nagin didn’t call for a mandatory evacuation? Where is the outcry that Mayor Nagin failed...
Maybe the Iranian President is right (link). Maybe President Bush should invite President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the floor of the UN and the two should go toe-to-toe in front of the Security Council. No mediators.Just two leaders defending their position on Iranian uranium enrichment and what it means to the region. Then we let the UN Security Council vote again. Ahmadinejad does not stand a chance of winning. He has made it very clear that he wants to wipe “Israel off the map” and has a deep...
"Our objective is clear, to disarm Hezbollah," French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said, but added that military force was not the answer. "The only solution is to have a political solution."Mr. Douste-Blazy, when was the last time a terrorist faction or any enemy disarmed due to political or diplomatic pressure? What should I expect from the Frenc...
Well Donovan Riley is out of the race…sort of. Acording to this JSOnline article by Spivak & Bice (link here) Donovan Riley’s attorney issued a statement that Donovan would be pulling out of the race. Unfortunately Donovan Riley’s website hasn’t been updated recently. Since this withdrawal is coming so late, Donovan’s name will still appear on the ballot in the September primary.Yesterday this item (link) appeared on www.wheelerreport.com. State Senator Carpenter (D), State Representative...

In a press release put out today by the Ross for Secretary of State, this lying Democrat (two words that fit together so perfectly) is trying to smear a respectable candidate for the Governorship. Ross states the following: "Mark Green and Republican legislators are trying to keep people who earn less than $35,000 from voting,” once again lying to make people scared. This comes on the heels of a press release from Mark Green’s campaign which lays out his support for voter ID. (Release here) Ross...
With all the news about the Israel, the Middle East, and Muslim Countries when a friend sent this link to me I thought it was best to have everyone see how well they know their geography!I in no way endorse or support the organization that supports this puzzle but it is unique enough for me to share:http://www.rethinkingschools.org/just_fun/games/mapgame.ht...
Doyle’s campaign released a statement today about President Clinton’s visit on October 24th.“President Clinton is an extraordinary leader, a great American, and a champion for middle class and working families,” said Governor Doyle. “I am honored to have his support, and delighted that he is coming to our great state. His visit will be an exciting day for Wisconsin and for my campaign.”What is should have read:“President Clinton is an extraordinary leader when it comes to showing how one should...
In today’s Journal Sentinel there is the following editorial: A vital link in the regionOnce again this mentality has my blood boiling!Here are the reasons why they feel we need the METRA extended to Milwaukee:We're part of ChicagoThere is a Metra stop in Kenosha nowSome Illinois folks are even buying condos in downtown MilwaukeeA rail link could create economic development opportunitiesKenosha shows how a rail link can help spur growthCould help reduced traffic congestion on I-94I’ll take these...

States Fall Short on Teacher Quality"Still, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings said she was encouraged. "Many states took this very seriously, recognizing that good teachers make all the difference in whether or not our children succeed in their studies," she said in a statement.""Four states failed altogether: Hawaii, Missouri, Utah and Wisconsin. They must submit new plans and undergo monthly auditing of their teacher quality data, the department says."Here is what was submitted and the response...
DONOVAN RILEY - potential felonOver the weekend Spivack and Bice broke the news that a Donovan Riley, Democratic candidate for the State Senate, had voted twice in the 2000 Presidential election (article here) once here in Wisconsin and once in Illinois. Hmm, I wonder who he voted for.Today is Wednesday August 16, 2006 and here is what State Democratic Chair Joe “anything to win” Wineke had to say:“…………………………………………………………………………………..”That’s right...
= John Spencer is a Republican vying for the US Senate seat currently held by Hillary “I want to be President” Clinton.While I truly despise Hillary and here ideas I’m not sure that trying to link her to Osama is a good move for Spencer but I’ll let you decide.Here is his ad:Spencer for Senate...
In today’s Post Crescent there is an editorial that believes that the “back to school tax holiday” that Mark Green called for is nothing but “an election-year mirage.”They had the courage, as foolish as it was, to state the following:“The reality is that the benefit any family sees isn't nearly worth the dent in the state's wallet.”Hmm, sounds to me like they are saying that the State knows how to spend our money better than we do and that our pain...

I saw this headline on Yahoo a little while ago:U.S., France agree on Mideast resolutionLast I looked we (US and France) weren’t the ones fighting there, it’s Israel and Hezbollah. So who cares that the US and France agree on a Mid-east Resolution? Shouldn’t the resolution be between Israel and Hezbollah? And what about that last sentence: The two sides sent the new text to the governments of Israel and Lebanon, but a French diplomat said the vote would go ahead whatever the response.If the...
I’m sure that I am just giving Scot the advertisement that he was looking for but I just can’t hold my tongue.Scot is a Democrat that is running for Secretary of State (Wisconsin) and yesterday he put out a “report” about same day registration. The “report” is nothing more than a recap of how many people registered on Election Day in each municipality.In this so called “report” he claims the following:“The Republicans want to keep people who earn less than $35,000 from voting,” said Ross. “They...

I’ve spent quite a bit of time considering the Lieberman primary (which is taking place today) and what impact it would have on the Democratic party, then it dawned on me this his loss would help the GOP!Lieberman, who has a record of voting for most (90%) Democrat bills, is for the most part a “centrist” when it comes to foreign affairs. Lieberman speaks what he believes and votes the same way, in this manner he is a very respectable politician. While he votes for most liberal legislation he...
I know that this posting will be hypocritical but just enjoy the irony.WHY is the media giving Cindy Sheehan any air time?!?! She is just nuts, crazy, bonkers, a few quarts low, wacko, and just plain DUMB!!!!!"My name is Cindy and Bush killed my son." Cindy SheehanUm, someone should tell Cindy that the people that killed her son are the same ones she is trying to protect by having us withdraw from Iraq before the job is don...
While I dislike the concept of a federally imposed minimum wage it is something that exists and therefore must be looked after. The Republicans have now come up with a win-win solution for America but not for the Democratic Party.Senator Frist has moved to attach the minimum wage increase of over $2.00 to a bill that would extend tax cuts! This is a brilliant move on the part of Frist and the Senate Republicans. The three bills that this encompasses includes: an increase to the federal minimum...
I read this news article this morning and was glad to hear that our legislators are moving in the right direction for a change. If we start drilling for oil and are able to draw a significant amount from them we could see the price per barrel begin to decrease. However the real concern and the biggest item that have gas prices so high is capacity. Capacity is the amount of space a refiner has to convert crude oil into other products, most importantly gas! Unfortunately most refineries are working...
