David Clarke: Flake

Filed under Wisconsin

Thank god David Clarke never became Milwaukee mayor. Sure, the man makes some good conservative statements, but the guy has a lousy management style. It sure looks like Clarke retaliated against Deputy Michael Schuh for his critical comments of the sheriff in a union newsletter. Clarke pretty much admitted it when he told reporters,
One cannot […]

Blogsphere Screw-Ups

Filed under Weblogging

Charlie Sykes wasn’t the only one to make a mistake. Chris Muir, creator of Day by Day–the unofficial official comic strip of the blogosphere–blew it twice in one strip. Both men have made amends, and a lot faster than most MSM.

A Useless Launch

Filed under Tech

Discovery had a successful launch. I have mixed feelings. I’m glad NASA pulled it off. I’m always proud of American resilence, but the shuttle is old technology. Man won’t conquer space with the risk-adverse methodology of the space agency. It took over two years just to get the shuttle ready for launch. Then a fuel […]

When she isn’t snarky Maureen Dowd can be quite touching. Her tribute to her late mother proves that.

TAM Book Series: South Park Conservatives

Filed under Books
Comments Off

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the first of what I hope is a continuing series of interviews with authors and their books. We no longer have C-SPAN’s Booknotes, but I hope the TAM Book Series will partially satisfy book lovers interested in non-fiction books. Publishers and publicists if you have a book you think would be […]

Sykes’ Libel Case

Filed under Wisconsin
Comments Off

My fellow Wisconsin webloggers haven’t let me down in talking about Robert Miranda’s libel case against Charlie Sykes. James Widerson recalls Sykes contacting him to see if he remembered Robert Miranda attending a 1991 pro-war rally at UWM. Owen at Boots & Sabers reminds me Sykes only had the offending post on his weblog for […]

New Bob Mould

Filed under Music
Comments Off

From how much I like the single “Paralyzed” Body of Sound should be a good album and nab a TAM Music Award. It comes out tomorrow. You have a choice of plain old album or the “Deluxe Edition” filled with extras and remixes.

I Wonder if They Read TAM

Project 21 jumped on the Kossites who wanted to immediately begin digging up dirt on Judge Roberts’ young son.
If they got the idea from TAM, great. I’d just like the credit. Egoboo is always good.

The Disneyworld of Football

Filed under Sports

No one would know anything about Green Bay, WI if it weren’t for the Packers. Yes, the football team is an important part of the city’s identity. But you really start to get carried away when you start naming oodles of streets after Packers. The city is getting close to turning their “small-town-takes-on-big-cities” image into […]

Take That, Che. You Too Daniel Ortega

After seeing this t-shirt I immediately plunked down my $15. It will go great with my “Viva La Reagan Revolucion” t-shirt. I’d get some Contra Cafe coffee too, but I wouldn’t drink enough to get through a pound before it went bad.

Sweet Swing

Filed under Sports

This swing is one reason I’ve been a Ken Griffey, Jr. fan for years.
Oh, by the way, the Brewers crushed the Reds. Too bad his injuries will prevent him from snagging the all-time home run title.
