Paparazzi competition may have reached a new low. The FBI confiscated the computer of a former Us Weekly editor to see if she used it to illegally access the magazine’s computer systems. The NY Post’s Page Six tosses ex-madam Heidi Fleiss‘ name in for good measure.

“Former Us Staffer Especially […]
Somehow I don’t think there will be much mention of books on CBS’ summer reality show Tuesday Night Book Club. Kirin looks like Brie (and not 31) while Jamie is the show’s version of Gabrielle.
It’s sure to be “must-not-see-tv” for me.

It’s Memorial Day Weekend. If you’re reading this STOP. Go see a movie, find a bar, fire up the grill. It’s the unofficial start of summer. That’s a whopping three months here in Wisconsin. We have to take advantage of each precious moment.
If some big event happens in the next few days I’ll be covering […]
Michael Jackson is headed for Tokyo. That’s why he needed to get a passport. Wait…wrong Michael Jackson.
Speaking of Alderman Thriller, he declared, “Given my recent arrest in civil court, I believe there is less than equal protection under the law for elected officials.” I agree. Judging from Lee Holloway’s slap on the wrist elected officials […]
Congressman Ron Kind’s constituent service made a boo-boo. A banker sent him a letter on a bill taxing credit union and got two different responses. Joey at Wide White writes,
He holds small community banks “in the highest regard,” but he is also “opposed to taxation of credit unions” because those same small banks are “focusing […]
Alderman Thriller pumped out a press release. And I’m here to fisk it:
Although I know “Thriller” is considered the top-selling album of all time, I want to make it clear that I am not trying to change my legal name to “Michael Jackson” (as some people have been led to believe).
Only morons who can’t read […]
Whatever the alderman’s name is I wonder if Michael McGee/Jackson really is Michael McGee, Sr.’s son. Who is his mother? The Jackson had to come from somewhere–maybe from “Thriller’s” warped mind.

A Justice Department lawyer said, “the United States government, not any court, is the best judge of whether to keep programs such as its controversial effort to eavesdrop on citizens a secret.” In a filing to a San Francisco federal court Peter Keisler, an assistant attorney general, wrote,
In cases such as this one, where the […]
Both Congressman Mark Green and Gov. Jim Doyle both voiced displeasure at the UW System’s new admissions policy. There’s goes that as a campaign issue. UW president David Walsh supports “holistic review” but wishes it was stated to the public better. It would be even better if it was called what it really is, race-based […]
The possibilty of Jeb Bush replacing Paul Tagliabue as NFL commissioner “was broached during a recent meeting with Patrick Rooney Sr., owner of the Palm Beach Kennel Club.” Rooney is the brother of Dan Rooney, Pittsburgh Steelers owner. Bush said, “I met with Mr. Rooney and I said I’m doing my job until I’m finished […]
From a PR standpoint it’s a bad idea for Congress to claim the FBI as part of the Executive Branch can’t search a Congressman’s office. There’s a “speech and debate” clause protecting Congressman but it’s not like diplomatic immunity which deals with questions of sovereignty. Appearing to protect a Congressman accused of bribery and others […]
Tim Michels as a Tommy Thompson-like pol who likes his ego stroked? That’s what Deb Jordahl thinks,
Having said all that, Tim Michels should realize that his fifteen minutes of fame are just about up, and he’d better use it or lose it. Michels needs to stop playing cat and mouse with the Republican Party just […]
No longer will good grades, test scores, or class rank assure you of a play in a UW school. It’s all about “holistic review” which is a edu-crat buzz word that means race and ethnicity. The days of simply filling out a one-page college application are no more.
MATC thumbs its nose at taxpayers by raising […]
The final two hours of 24 are safely on my computer. Yes, it’s piracy but that’s too bad. mininova is my friend. Thanks, Patrick.
BitTorrent has a long way to go to be a mainstream way to download content–even with a broadband connection it takes a while to download an entire show, but it got the […]
Former Texas Senator, Vice-Presidential candidate, and Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen died. I remember him best for his dig at Dan Quayle:
In the Oct. 5, 1988, vice presidential debate, Quayle said: “I have as much experience in the Congress as Jack Kennedy did when he sought the presidency.”
Bentsen’s retort in the televised event caused a sensation. […]
