At the bookstore last night, I helped a couple find knitting books. After taking them to the section, the gentleman asked to see Sean Hackbarth. I told him that was I only to be informed that he was none other than triticale. That’s the first time a TAM reader has found me at work. Both […]
The U.S. Attorney’s office, the Milwaukee District Attorney’s office, the Milwaukee Police Department, and the FBI will join forces to investigate the Milwaukee election.
That’s good news. However, I’ll be shocked if they can find a specific instance of voter fraud with enough evidence to prosecute. That’s the downside of the secret ballot. As soon as […]
Thanks to Charlie Sykes for highlighting my deconstruction of today’s Journal Sentinel editorial. I would have heard his mention of TAM on his show this morning but I was falling in and out of a sleepy daze all because I worked so hard late last night on that post.

A St. Norbert College graduate has been charged with voter fraud for voting in De Pere while living in Illinois. Ignorance shouldn’t be Marc Lacher’s excuse because he has substantial record as a student:
Lacher, a May 2004 graduate, was president of the college’s student government association in 2003 and a student member of the college’s […]
The Journal Sentinel editorial board finally speaks about Milwaukee’s voting problems. They refuse to see a problem, want critics to stop picking on Milwaukee, and only want to tinker around the edges.
The editorial board calls their paper’s findings that 8300 more votes were counted than voters, that 1242 people voted at addresses that don’t exist, […]
Before Election Day, the Wisconsin Republican Party warned the City of Milwaukee about 5619 invalid addresses on voter rolls. The Journal Sentinel found that 186 people voted with one of those bad addresses.
This is proof the city failed to live up to its agreement with the Wisconsin GOP to make anyone using the invalid addresses […]
Standed on Blue Islands has two hard-hitting posts on Wisconsin voting problems. In the first, Dirty Harry found out 22.5% of voters in Madison registered on Election Day. If only 10% of those voters can’t be verified (as compared to 13% so far in Milwaukee) 2344 votes for John Kerry can be questioned. As Dirty […]
Maggie Gallagher is the second conservative columnist to be outed for not telling anyone she was on the federal government’s payroll. In 2002, the strong marriage advocate wrote an essay defending the Bush administrations marriage promotion plan. At the same time she was writing pro-marriage materials for the Department of Health and Human Services.
Gallagher’s excuse […]
No Mel vs. Moore at this year’s Oscars. Good rule of thumb: don’t put money down on my predictions.

Drew at Darn Floor wipes the Racine Journal Times editorial board off the floor. Drew sees the critical focus on Wisconsin voting problems as an attempt to clean up a dirty voting process. the Journal Times thinks critics just don’t want people to vote Democratic.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty wants to look at how Colorado funds higher education. That state allocates funds through college students. Pawlenty asked that it be studied by his administration. I’m amazed that there’s actually hub-bub about a study. About Colorado’s approach, Travis Reindl of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities said, “States wouldn’t […]
Last week, I ripped into James Dobson. My mistake was taking the NY Times story at face value. Glenn Reynolds points me to a Toon Zone opinion piece that rips on the Times:
I’m not interested in the “gay” angle to SpongeBob, and as an editor and reporter on this site I have no interest in […]
Matthew Yglesias writes about paternalism. His position in a nutshell: he’s not opposed to it. Paternalism to him is a pragmatic solution to a problem.
He does try to mix up different kinds of paternalism and shove them all under the same umbrella. He does this with both government social programs and voluntary charity ventures.
He […]
Eric Berlin, a big Tom Wolfe fan, has a slightly lesser review of I Am Charlotte Simmons.
