Tonight is the last chance for 2008 Presidential candidates to get contributions in for their first financial reports. We’ll soon see how how well the money machines of Rudy Giuliani, Sen. John McCain, and Mitt Romney are doing. We’ll also see if there are any surprises from second-tier candidates like Sen. Sam Brownback. We know […]
There’s one problem with 24 this season: it’s on at the same time as Heroes on NBC. Ever since Jack Bauer’s latest day from hell started I’ve missed the comic book come to life. So tonight, I caught up on four hours worth of the show. If Sci-Fi is going to do a marathon they […]

Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan recently spoke to Washington, D.C. webloggers on federal fiscal matters. If you’ve seen him speak you know his bullet points, but the rest of you should watch to see why he’s a rising star in the Badger State and in Washington.

With Steve Forbes’ endorsement of Rudy Giuliani Ryan Sager looks at how receptive the former mayor would be towards a flat tax. He opposed the idea in 1996, but recently told Larry Kudlow we need serious tax simplification. A flip-flop? Sager doesn’t think so:
Here, again, Mr. Giuliani highlights the difficulties of moving to a flat-tax-like […]
If the Green Bay Packers can’t work out a deal with the Oakland Raiders for wide receiver Randy Moss there’s always the Seattle Seahawks’ Darrell Jackson. A mark against him is a knee injury that kept him out most of the 2005 season. He did come back with a vengeance by catching 87 passes in […]
Magazine publisher Steve Forbes, a man who has never met a tax cut he didn’t like lent his support to Rudy Giuliani:
Forbes, chief executive of Forbes magazine who unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in 1996 and 2000, is considered a leader of the party’s pro-business and tax-cutting wings.
“He is the man who can lead America […]
Life and a job must have prevented Jessica McBride from only now commenting on next month’s WisPolitics.com Blog Summit. I’ve heard kids do that to you. She’s come out with a loud defense of the “citizen bloggers:”
To me, they represent the great power of this new technology: Democratization of the media, power to the people. […]
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board should forever give up complaining about Wisconsin’s high taxes. In the abstract they understand how high taxes strangle the economy, but they can never oppose them when they hit home. Today, they endorsed local referendums in two communities that would add $133 million in additional spending. That’s coming out […]
Word is out final work on the Iraq emergency funding bill won’t be completed until 04.16, one after the Pentagon says it needs the funds to prevent cutbacks.
Tony Snow guaranteed the White House would pounce on the inability of Congress to do its job.
Sen. Patty Murray countered with the childish Republicans-did-it-too argument. Yes, previous GOP […]
With the Senate keeping a retreat (not withdrawal) date in their Iraq emergency funding bill we’re on our way to a game of chicken. Sen. Chuck Schumer dug in saying, “This is not one battle. It’s a long-term campaign. Every time we have a vote like this, it ratchets up the pressure on the president […]
Hey! File a complaint against TAM too:
A Monica Sitter filed a complaint today with the elections board because of the “Blogs for Ziegler” tag on B&S. Her complaint says it must have a disclaimer.
This is silly. A weblog like Owen Robinson’s and mine support who we want how we want. Campaign finance/free speech restriction […]
If you watched the last episode of Battlestar Galactica you noticed Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” emerge at the end. It’s my excuse for a musical interlude.
Jimi Hendrix’s greatest song is his cover of “Watchtower”. It’s electric (pun unintended) and blistering. His guitar shimmers, shines,
Yet the song does stand on its own. Years […]
In an endorsement that means squat House Appropriations Chairman David Obey announced his support for John Edwards:
When John Edwards talks about tackling the problems that matter most to America’s working class families - things like affordable health care, access to quality education and strengthening retirement security - I believe that he really means it. That […]
Here are some tidbits I’ve found on the 2008 Presidential race:
With only 3% in the USA Today/Gallup poll Mitt Romney is starting to look like the Phil Gramm of 2008–all money, no support. His CPAC bounce vanished. Sen. Sam Brownback is tied with him, and he’s campaigned part-time while working in the Senate.
Rep. Ron Paul […]
