Do you think you’d see headlines like this in CNN…

“U.S. swelters under deadly heat wave”

…if they weren’t feeling the heat in New York City and Washington, D.C.?

I’m so sick of the national media’s preoccupation with the coasts.

Wasn’t global warming supposed to drown New York, D.C., Boston, Miami, L.A., and San Francisco by now?

An apology to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane

After reading Eugene Kane‘s spot-on denuciation of the often violent (and sometimes deadly) behavior of many young, cialis buy and black, best cialis levitra Milwaukee-area partiers, I have to apologize for assuming that he would come to the defense of their “right” to party.

Good job, Mr. Kane.

In this case, Patrick McIlheran is not “Right On”

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Patrick McIlheran equates banning smoking in restaurants with a Chicago-area proposal to ban trans fats in restaurants.

I don’t think he has it exactly right.

While I’m personally in favor of smoking bans, viagra buy for sale I’m against legislating the “healthfulness” of the various foods a restaurant serves.

The distinction to me is that if I order fatty food, viagra buy the only person I’m hurting is myself.

If I light up in a crowded restaurant, on the other hand, I’m hurting everyone in the vicinity whether they wanted to smoke or not.

Everyone should be free to hurt themselves.

No one should be free to hurt others.

Weak in review, once again

WPR‘s Week in Review program purports to bring someone in from the left and someone from the right to discuss their perspectives on the events of the week.

This week on the 8:00 AM show, buy cialis rx they chose Louis Fortis, discount the publisher of the Shepherd Express and an ex-Democratic legislator – a pretty reliable liberal.

To “balance” him, they chose Ann Althouse whom Wisopinion lists as one of only five CENTRIST bloggers in the state.

Media balance at its finest.

I didn’t even know Milwaukee Moms were for sale!

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just bought local web site MilwaukeeMoms.com for an undisclosed sum.

I just want to make it clear, cialis doctor From Where I Sit is NOT for sale.

Not for $10, tadalafil medicine 000.

Not for $100,000.

And not for $1,000,000.

(Anything above $2,000,000, give me a call. We’ll talk.)

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel should hire Rick Esenberg as a permanent columnist

Here is just another reason why the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel needs to hire Rick Esenberg as a permanent voice on their editorial page.

No one in Milwaukee speaks more eloquently for conservatives in Milwaukee

(With apologies to Charlie, viagra sales medicine order Dean, viagra Owen and many of my fellow bloggers who are all excellent in their own right.)

Do they even read their own paper?

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel advocates raising taxes in Milwaukee County in the same issue where they report that Wisconsin is already the sixth highest-taxed state in the country.

Apparently, viagra generic health the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel won’t rest until we’re number one.

(The editorial is especially ironic considering their own story about how software giant RedPath is considering leaving Wisconsin because of the high personal tax burden.)

I thought this might help Eugene Kane have a revelation.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Eugene Kane started his opinion piece in today’s paper with the sentence:

Religion and politics are not supposed to mix.

I’m glad Mr. Kane wasn’t around to tell Reverend Martin Luther King, cialis sale buy viagra Jr. that.

The people’s right to know

Does anyone else think it’s funny that the press is so fervant about the people’s right to know…unitl it comes to us knowing who their anonymous sources are?

Also, viagra buy viagra a reporter would never trust the motivations or authenticity of a source who wouldn’t reveal their identity and yet they expect US to trust them when they tell us we don’t need to know.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Shield laws? We don’t need no stinkin’ shield laws…

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wants a shield law to protect the anonymity of journalists’ sources.

I say people have the right to confront their accusers in court…and they should also have the right to confront their accusers in the court of public opinion.

Leakers, viagra buy cialis whistleblowers, and other anonymous “sources” are cowardly manipulators of the system.

Journalists should be apologizing for ever using (or falling prey to) such sources, not endorsing a law that would encourage and shield them.
