The expansive Kelo ruling from last week is finding a beneficiary in Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. I’m sure that’s exactly what John Paul Stevens was thinking when he wrote his opinion.

Last night was a good night for Brewers rookies Prince Fielder and Rickie Weeks. Both hit their first career major league home runs in a 7-6 win over the Minnesota Twins. Two Brewers infielders leading the team? Hmm… That sounds familiar. Fielder and Weeks don’t look like Robin Yount and Paul Molitor, but a long-time […]
The U.S. is admitting to the U.N. that torture has taken place at Gitmo:
Washington has for the first time acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said.
The acknowledgement was made in a report submitted to […]
Arianna Huffington claims Vice President Dick Cheney went to the cardiac center of a Colorado hospital. The White House says he went to see an orthopedic surgeon. Huffington doesn’t name any names of people who gave her bits of information. I’m wary until somebody comes out publicly.
But if it Cheney did have a heart problem […]
My pickings are slim for a Duck Hunt so there isn’t one this week. Please send me your best Howard Dean, M.D. posts for a future edition. Maybe Dr. Dean will really shoot off his mouth before then.

In yesterday’s much talked about Supreme Court decision Kelo v. City of New London Justice John Paul Stevens used these fateful words:
Promoting economic development is a traditional and long accepted function of government. Clearly, there is no basis for exempting economic development from our traditionally broad understanding of public purpose.
And with that negative liberty was […]
Nuno Bettencourt will come out from the wilderness when he joins Perry Farrell at Lollapalooza for Satellite Party.
Extreme was one of my favorite hair metal bands. Their debut album was ok but full of metal cliches. Their second disk Extreme II: Pornograffiti was a magnum opus. They put the funk in funk metal, crunched away, […]
It read “97″ on one of the thermometers on my way home from work. That’s hot. Icky, sticky hot. The heat is bad enough, but what’s worse is working in an air conditioned store that’s a touch too cold, going out into the tropical heat, then going into a air conditioned house. Those extremes play […]
The first charges have been filed in Milwaukee’s voter fraud scandal:
A Milwaukee Police Department sweep of election records led to federal charges Wednesday against three voters accused of casting improper ballots in November.
A man on parole and a woman on probation for felony convictions cast one ballot each, even though state law forbids felons under […]

With lots of pressing issues I’m sure the House of Representatives really boosted their public approval ratings by passing the flag burning amendment. This thing won’t pass the Senate. What part of the GOP coalition is harping for this? A flag amendment won’t get us to victory in the Islamist War. The amendment won’t help […]
Look at the glee in the tax increasers. They really love to spend money.
The Racine school district is already getting ready to ask voters for a tax increase next year.
[School Board Member Randy] Bangs said the board will continue to search for ways to make the district more efficient so that next year, if finances […]
With Vietnam the President Bush wants them to enter the WTO. With Cuba food sales restrictions might be lifted over Bush’s objections. I hate the Communist prison island as much as much as anyone in Little Havana, but 40+ years of a isolationist policy hasn’t removed Castro. The approach has to change even if it […]
Racine voters gave into a school board who couldn’t say no to controlling spending. A high school band was even sent out to “encourage” voters to vote the “right” way. The scare tactics worked and Racine becomes a bigger tax hell in a tax hell state. Patrick calls them “suckers.”
