Timetable? I’ll give you a timetable.

The stalwart folks at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel want a timetable for when we’re going to get our troops out of Iraq.

I’ll give you a timetable.

All the troops will be out of Iraq about 40 years after we finish pulling the last of our troops out of Korea.

I feel like Batman without the Joker

What’s a blogger to do when one of his favorite arch-enemies goes down for the count?

Dave Berkman has managed to get himself booted from his weekly gig at the Shepherd Express.

I also read somehwere that he will no longer being doing Media Talk on Wisconsin Public Radio.

Without Dave to debunk, sildenafil check I feel like my life has lost direction.

I’m confronted with existential questions:

Can there be good without evil?

How far left will Joel McNally have to go to compensate for the loss of Berkman?

And does Eugene Kane really say enough stupid crap to support the entire Cheddersphere?

I guess we’ll all have to wait for the answers until next week, my friends.

Same bat-time, same bat-channel.

Nick gives a Civics Lesson

Nick at The World According to Nick takes the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to school in his latest post where he tells them why making compacts with other states to get around the electoral college is a bad idea.

On the other hand…I used to be a stout defender of the electoral college, but I’ve recently started thinking that perhaps a direct vote for the only truly national offices we have might not be such a bad idea.

Anyway, go check out Nick’s post. It’s a good one.

Even imaginary guns are too much for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

It’s not enough for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel to editorialize as often as possible against gun ownership, cialis generic try now they’ve actually printed a feature article on how playing with even imaginary guns is “bad.”

My favorite quote comes right at the beginning:

When April Klinter’s 7-year-old son engaged in some gunplay with sticks on the school playground, ed Klinter was called to a school meeting.

“His teacher became concerned about their gunplay and called a group of us to school to talk about it, ask ” Klinter, of Saukville, says.

If a teacher did that to me, i would go ballistic.

I would certainly invite him or her to spend more time teaching his students to read and less time reading parents the riot act because their kids were saying “bang bang” while holding a STICK!

More “poor” thinking from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wants to blame the “poor” scholastic performance of Milwaukee students on poverty.

As usual, discount viagra drugstore they have it exactly backwards.

Eliminating poverty isn’t the cure for bad education…a good education is the only true cure for poverty.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s “Hold Your Nose” editorial really stinks.

As usual, best cialis doctor the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has their collective heads up their collective asses.

In another snide pro-illegal immigrant editorial, sovaldi sale the board made a couple of their trademark disingenious statements.

Their first complaint is that the proposed Immigration “reform” bill has the temerity to acknowledge that English is the national language of the United States:

Declaring English the “national language” and building 370 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, case for instance, are to meaningful immigration reform what Spackle is to home-building. Both examples appeal to immigration hard-liners but are, in fact, needless affronts to an ally, Mexico…

Why is declaring English our “national language” an affront to Mexico?

Spanish is the official national language of Mexico. Should I be affonted?

The editorial goes on to say:

OK, but making felons of people whose only “crime” is wanting a better life and performing jobs that U.S. employers woo them here to do is overkill.

Wanting a better life is not a crime.

Entering the United States ILLEGALLY is.

THEY BROKE THE GODDAMN LAW.

At least do me the courtesy of acknowledging that fact, before trying to convince me it’s no big deal.

Milwaukee columnist sees nothing wrong with decision to put cop killers back on street

In today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist column Eugene Kane laments that Lenard Wells (the head of the parole board who recently released two cop killers) resigned his position.

Kane says:

It’s a sorry development from where I sit. Wells was an impressive appointee for Doyle’s administration who provided a valuable voice in the parole process. His critics called into question a perfectly legitimate administrative decision, best cialis try based on statutes that preceded the state’s strict truth-in-sentencing law.

Later Kane says:

“You know politics are tough when a good man like Wells gets treated like he’s part of the problem when he’s actually part of the solution.”

Which makes me wonder what “solution” requires putting two convicted cop killers back on the street.

The scariest thing I’ve seen in the paper in a while.

Did anyone else think the phrase that appeared in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

Eugene Kane’s column will return

…sounded more like a threat than a promise?

Who has to worry about the government having phone records? Terrorists, criminals, and the press.

Most Americans don’t seem that upset that the Government is trying to database the phone numbers we call.

The feeling seems to be that if you’re not using your phone to call terrorists, buy viagra cialis buy drugs, viagra generic check stalk ex-girlfriends, or ask people if their refigerator is running, you probably don’t have anything to worry about.

The Press on the other hand is throwing a hissy fit.

And I just realized why…

…it’s about to get a whole lot harder to keep leakers anonymous.

And that’s just dandy with me.

I think most leakers are cowards.

If something is important enough to say, stand up and say it with pride.

It always amazes me that the accused has a right to confront his accusers in a court of law, but the press considers facilitating anonymous accusations a sacred duty.

Boots and Sabers back on the air!

I wanted WPR to bring Owen back for Joy Cardin’s Week in Review and they did.

I take no credit for it.

But I did take pleasure in it.

Thanks.

I’d never go on that show myself. First of all, buy cialis treatment they haven’t asked. And secondly, while I have a “face for radio”…I have a voice for print.
